all choked up

flags flags flags....everywhere. they greeted you by the side of the road as you make your way out of tg malim tol plaza. you can't miss them. i hope they will be responsible to tear them down as well. imagine the amount of paper and cloth used to 'decorate' the big area that made up hulu selangor?

the by-election fever is at its height tonight and bn even has a 1 malaysia grand finale at bukit beruntung. that sleepy town is getting a great wake-up call this month. let us see when it will fall back to sleep again.

now, my mom is having a banquet style meal with the prime minister at one of the chinese associations' hall in hulu bernam. i heard the police siren at around 4.40p.m. well, the pm was on time. the time printed on the invitation card was 4.30p.m. and mom left the house at 4. the attendance is by invitation only and you have to show a pink card. there is going to be a lucky draw too i heard. 80 tables are prepared and they will be served halal chinese food.

why why why?? how can i miss this banquet?? urgh...i can't cancel my scheduled class! this morning, anwar had a sarapan pagi bersama anwar behind the police station. then later tonight, there is a talk by lim kit siang too.

and did you see the headline of the paper today?? millions given to felda folks!! janji dikotakan?? what were they doing ages ago when the janji was made? there is no such thing as hutang lapuk in an election. all eyes will be on the result which is expected to be known at 11p.m. tomorrow night.

pamphlets and brochures and newspapers are sent to the house almost daily. sis in australia got one too showing her voting area and number. too bad, she is not here to make her one vote count. my brother is back. yes! there will surely be a lot of merry-making at all the polling stations. fiesta time!

byelection is a good thing huh? all those windfalls. we should have more of that. both parties are really fighting tooth and nail to win. even the kids know what is happening. sigh....i still wish i can vote.

ok...to another thing now....
this is my yummy lunch of chee cheong fun with a piece of stuffed fried beancurd. it tastes as yummy as it looks. i think this is the best chee cheong fun in bidor similar to the famous one sold in teluk intan. it is drier than the teluk intan one....but that means it is less oily. however, i still find this a bit oily when you reach the last few pieces at the bottom of the container. see, we are environmentally friendly too. we refuse plastic wrapper and use our own container instead.
actually not 'we' ...it is carmen's and she was so thoughtful to add that piece of stuffed beancurd as well when she bought the ccf. i did not have to pay. it is her treat. bliss! and they are really making me FAT!!
one piece of banana cake and an egg tart delivered to me in the afternoon by karen. they are part of dinner.
mom made stewed chicken feet and pork. urggh....how to resist??
