A Day of Change Perhaps???





After months of not blogging because of a total business and lost of inspiration.... never thought I would come back to blog about such a thing in my mind now~~

Even though this is worldwide news right now, but if you're a Malaysian this would mean so much more, of how such a normal day turned into a day that words could not describe... for those who do not know what is happening at all in you're country... well today is the day where BERSIH marches for a clean, fair vote in the election, in which I too would think it as a good thing.. but somehow out of alot of complications and people who make this sound illegal, well things have gotten abit out of hand this week...
a crazy and massive jam all over the place with roadblocks even turning 4 lanes into one lane
where a 15min drive to work turned into a disastrous 1hour and 30min drive instead.... then came alot of tension in the air...

especially today before the march began one could feel a heavy atmosphere everywhere, some wondering out of fear what might happen today?? Some might even think that this is the beginning of something good... well...... it was an interesting day though...



how much people turned out??? I have no idea, but the massive numbers have showed how many people wanted to march for a change, for fairness in this nation...
people walking around with the Malaysian flags held in their hands, not even worried of the huge crowd, the smelly armpits nor the fear of what might wait for them in the corner...
Especially since the riot police is getting ready to strike already if they continued to march...
and why is that guy siting there for I have no idea -_-"
But then again it became kinda chaotic at first, where water canons were fired at the people, tear gas bombs were thrown at them, some even being knocked by the canisters and being greatly injured that quite a number of them had to be hospitalized, then over 1000+ were caught by the police too...
Of course when the rain came the tear gas didn't seem to be of much effect already, but that didn't really stop them though, worse thing to happen was when they shot a tear gas into a maternity hospital... and then I felt that, that was already too much, if they killed a baby in the process.. man... they're gonna be in a lot of trouble...

But honestly.... watching the videos and the pictures, even the updates on tweeter... I would honestly wonder why the police are using brute force on people who are unarmed??? especially since this is a peaceful march, not a revolution of overturning the king or something...

But overlooking all the bad things that happened in the day... one can find a whole lot of beauty in the other things that have happened today..
Of how the people that gather today regardness of their weakness and problems

of both the young and the old that chose to march for justice and for what's right
of how some would put themselves in danger for others

but what I was most happy and impressed to see today was how united our people were, regardless of race, whether it be Chinese, Malay, Indian, or any other race that was there, our racial differences didn't matter anymore, it wasn't anymore a battle of who's better or who's worse, but it was a picture of one another holding hands and walking in the same direction together in unity...

and honestly if this is how 1Malaysia is supposed to be like, I can see beautiful things happening in our country already if we all begin to work together and to not see our differences as a barrier... I mean, even our government couldn't bring us together with his 1Malaysia idea, and here's the people getting united themselves over one purpose XD

another beautiful thing was knowing that we weren't alone in this~~
knowing that our fellow Malaysians in the other countries were also supporting us by gathering together in their own countries and giving us their support
even Melbourne, Australia wasn't left out :D

there are much more but I can't find a suitable picture for it though... oh well :)

But this day made me realize actually what a beautiful country we live in, I have to admit over the years I've really disliked this country for many reasons, even thinking of giving up on this country... but looking today of the unity and that Malaysian Spirit.. I have to say I'm beginning to like this country already, and I'm sure there is a good future for our country because there are still people like what we've seen today among us:

People who chose to fight for our country, people who chose to stand up for what's right, people who want what's best for our country... I thank God for the people who still see potential in our country and are still fighting to save it everyday, regardless of what happens....
I guess these are the true patriots of our country???

Malaysia.... how would our tomorrow turn out??? I have no idea, but I think just as long as we are united together in this 1Malaysia spirit, we can overcome any obstacle together... would our tomorrow be bright or dark?? I don't know but I still believe in the people who continue to fight for our country...

and who knows...?? The rainbow always comes after the storm~~ =)

Malaysia.... God Bless You =]


Let's not forget gadalf that marched with us today ~ XD

And of course this is a little off but.... oh well ~ Thanks Bumblebee XD
