Politics.... *groan*

Politics.... *groan*

So the Sarawak state elections are finally over.

Any surprises? According to The Star, there was. To the ruling coalition. As for me, I'd say they had it coming. I remember watching the CM on the news, and him smugly saying he was confident it would be a clean sweep, and that he felt increasing the seats this year to 71 would ensure a greater victory for the coalition (considering the fact that during the previous election, they lost only 1 seat to the oopposition... hmmm.... but I also distinctly remembered a state-wide blackout for a couple of hours then). Right....

Here are the results:

The four-party state coalition lost in major constituencies in Sibu and Kuching. Yes, the major cities/towns. Chinese majority areas.

Of the 71 seats contested, the state coalition lost 9 seats:

6 went to DAP: Bukit Assek, Meradong, Kidurong, Pending, Batu Lintang and Kota Sentosa

1 went to SNAP: Engkilili (Dayak majority) :) heyy.... the Dayaks near where my daddy comes from has some discerning prowess....

1 went to PKR: Padungan... BN lost PADUNGAN! To Keadilan!

1 went to an Independent candidate.

What did the CM have to say for such astoundingly obvious loss? From The Star, May 21: "At his Demak Jaya house where state Barisan leaders were gathered, Taib said he did not know why, but added betting could be a factor." WHAT??? I have nothing to say... really...

"On PKR's win, Taib said it did not mean that the party was making inroads into Sarawak." No? The state coalition lost a major constituency in the capital city of the state to PKR, and they're not making inroads? Okay... if you say so.

Maybe they aren't. Maybe the people of Kuching and Sibu are just trying to tell the coalition something imperative in keeping a government. Maybe the people are trying to tell the ruling coalition to not rest on their laurels. That the people still have the power when it comes to checks and balances in State Parliament. That they would practice that power and that right, regardless of how small a wave it would make. Small wave better than no wave at all, no? Maybe the people of Kuching and Sibu are trying to tell the ruling coalition to not be too smug about victory. And to not take things for granted. That if they're not happy with what's going on, they can and WILL give the mandate to someone else. Important lessons, those. Not just in politics, but also in life. Every action and consequence would always require a post-mortem. :) Not to be morbid, being in the medical line, but it's true. To keep it fresh, to keep it real.

What do I think about all this? I think: About time....

Granted when it comes to Sarawakian politics, so many things require great tact and sensitivity. The delicacy of the socio-economic situation of the state hangs in the balance. The delicate situation between state and federal government hangs in precarious balance as well. So many things that are unspoken, or spoken only in the hushest of voices and in the most comfortable of groups for fear of censorship. And yet, really, does the coalition truly believe that the people would still continue to give them mandate of the stewardship of a rich, potential-filled, burgeoning state when they see that their trust has been rewarded by slacking. I love my state, perhaps more so than I can ever love the whole of which it is a part of. It's wild, and beautiful, and steeped in culture and tradition. It's a land of contraries and extremes. There's lush beauty in it's wildness, and yet there's something avant garde about it's old world charm and traditions. And I am greatly saddened to watch it's resources constantly mismanaged, and the cultures of it's people put to the test time and time again.

Yes, it's about time... perhaps it would be a wake-up call.

Shine, Jesus, Shine!

Shine, Jesus, Shine!

:) I am at a friend's helping her revise for a paper and here's what I found on her computer... It reminded me of days in Y.C.S., charismatic church camps for youth and youth choirs :) It was one of the favourites among the youth, together with Hillsongs' Power of Your Love and another song which title I can't remember :p Yeah, I loved them too... All that energy. One voice, one spirit in praise and worship. You can feel the air crackling with barely repressed energy :) The old may possess maturity (note the usage of the word 'may' ;)) but the young! Ahh... the young possess endless possibilities! :) There really is nothing like the sense of invincibility and possibility of youth. I miss those days, and I wonder what the Catholic youth in the archdiocese are doing nowadays... hmm... :) Here's a toast to my adolescent 'See. Judge. Act.' and 'pray without ceasing' days... :)

Shine, Jesus, Shine!

Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining,
Jesus, Light of the world shine upon us,
Set us free by the Truth You now bring us,
Shine on me! Shine on me!

Ref.:
Shine, Jesus, shine!
Fill this land with the Father's glory!
Blaze, Spirit, blaze!
Set our hearts on fire!
Flow, river, flow!
Flood the nations with grace and mercy!
Send forth Your Word,
Lord, and let there be light!

Lord, I come to Your awesome presence,
From the shadows into Your radiance,
By the Blood I may enter Your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness,
Shine on me! Shine on me!

Repeat refrain

As we gaze on Your kindly brightness,
So our faces display Your likeness,
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story,
Shine on me! Shine on me!

Repeat refrain

You got me at hello...?

You got me at hello...?

Got this from the Rabid Wombat :D Hilarious!! 'sides, had had a 'sad, misguided boy' question me about fuckbuddies, anyway :) I say, Rabidus, I should've read your post earlier! :p

The Evolution of Hello

FriendFriend

Apparently, this is real friendship. No feelings, just friends. No sex either. The true platonic.

Other notes:
Platonic: Platonic love in its modern sense is an affectionate relationship into which the sexual element does not enter, especially in cases where one might easily assume otherwise.
Not to be mistaken with:
Plutonic: irruptive: of igneous rock that has solidified beneath the earth's surface; granite or diorite or gabbro

FriendFriendInfinity

He/She may be hot, sexy and drunk but NO TOUCHY!! Friendfriend already.Women though, can change this status at at their whims and fancy. Women ONLY!
- Only because they cant really make up their minds -

Not Friend

The "I no want friend you anymore" relationship
Coining the term: Bubonic friendship

Friend

This kinda friendship is the best. You can flirt with intent, you can flirt with NO intent. Sex, with NO intent or feelings.
-sex part could be wrong, pending ladies approval-

Friend with PERKS

Dating with no strings attached. Sex, hugs and sleepovers with no guilt. Can see other people. Women NOT calling the shots
AKA: Fuckbuddy

Friendboy / Friendgirl

This is kira (considered) dating. Sex-No sex depends on woman's mood. Those free sex days for you men, are sadly OVER.
-Women start calling the shots-

Girlfriend/Boyfriend

This one serious stage lah. Man dumb to whack hook, line and sinker.
See now, man:
i) is slave to woman.
ii) needs to beg 4 sex
iii) cleans and cooks

Marriage

Woman Stupid, got married. Sex still depends on woman's mood though. Woman cooks and cleans but gets to spend and dictate finances especially MAN's expenses. Man still at losing end.
Revenge: Get woman pregnant. Both of you suffer

LOL... RW, u basket....! :D
