Results

          It started off scary. It ended great. We were watching the news about 8 o' clock when I saw that BN was winning everywhere. It was until I realized 'everywhere' was just two places which was just played over and over again, to give the impression as if BN had won so much. Who is RTM 1 trying to kid? We all watch Al-Jazeera nowadays!
          
          Then, about an hour or less later, Amira sent me a message 'BN KALAH', to which I replied 'Where?', to which she replied, 'EVERYWHERE!'. She was exaggerating of course. At first, I couldn't believe it, and I didn't, because BN didn't lose everywhere. Anyway, first came the news of Penang falling to the hands of the opposition, to which my mom called her brother, her friends and together they praised God through the phone.

           Then, through Malaysia Kini Online, we found out that Kedah, our hometown, too, had fallen to the opposition. The phone calling and god praising went on again till late night. As I was go to bed, I pressed refresh on the Malaysia Kini website, and suddenly there in big, bold letters, Unofficial: Opposition wins Selangor.  I went wild. I shouted out to my mom, and she too went nuts. Anyway, after what seemed like hours of begging my mom to get out of my room so that I could sleep, she finally left. As I was lying down to sleep however, the MSN messenger made a sound which meant I had received a message. I turned to look, and it said 'Perak is the Opposition's!'....
