Malaysia Baru

I woke up to a new Malaysia. So surprised that the incumbent BN government didn't pull out all the stops to cling on to power. Much gratitude for that. Everyone was in a state of euphoria. Pakatan Harapan was finally going to form the federal government. However, there were still a lot of rumours fying around, and some drama regarding the swearing-in of Tun M as the new prime minister. Mum and I went out to OUG for breakfast. Barisan Nasional's loss after sixty years in power was on every lip. Coffee shop talk was livelier than usual. Met up with ex-manager who was in town to vote, and of course the main topic of our conversation was GE14.

That evening, mum and I went to AEON Equine Park for some grocery shopping, then had dinner at Jack and Steve Grill. We shared a platter of pork ribs, pork chop, and pork belly. Came with a side of mash and an iced pineapple juice. Not bad. Back home, we watched the swearing in of Tun M as Malaysia's 7th prime minister (he's also the 4th). An amazing nonagenarian. Age is just a number to him. Mum and I were analyzing the YDPA's facial expression and body language. No love lost between the monarchy and Tun M. And it was so interesting to see ex-opposition leaders in Istana Negara. Must be such a surreal experience for them. The door is now open, make the best of it for Malaysia.
