In all my 30 years as a Malaysian, finally I had the chance to cast my vote for the election day. Although I only stayed in Malaysia till I was about 8 years old and was sent to Singapore for education then to Melbourne for 3 years of university education and finally came back to Singapore to work & to start a family! Basically more than half of my life I was away from the country, of course I did go back occasionally for holidays and visit relatives in various parts of Malaysia.
Although it was an exciting day for me, but the mass traffic jam at the custom was terrible. Partly was due to the escape of one of the Singapore’s wanted man and the school holidays also started on the same day. Most of the Singaporean were rushing into Malaysia for holidays. We were stucked at the Singapore custom for 2 hours but was glad that Malaysia custom traffic flow was quite smooth. By the time we reached Johor, we were famished and went to grab a bite at one of those higher class kopitiam. Although the environment was cleaner than the normal kopitiam, but the food was bleh!!! Then we were off to 2 different places to cast our votes. After voting was done, we went for a light snack & headed home to rest. Phew!
