That GE13

This round of general election, SY and I decided to fly back to our hometown to vote. I went back to Sandakan. This was my first time of casting my vote. Previous election I didn't go back to vote. Instead I volunteered as counting agent in Petaling Jaya area. That was a very good experience. While in Sandakan, I managed to attend one ceramah organized by the opposition pact. The turnout was ok as it was a small scale event. I must say that the chinese candidates need to brush up their local Malay language. Issues talked mainly on corruption and bread and butter. For the parliamentary seat, the opposition won while the three state seats under the same parliament constituency fell under the pro-government. I guess Sabahans still opt for the "opposition for the nation, pro-government for the state" voting strategy. See if you can spot me in below photo. The portrait photo was snapped by me.

Next trip - Spain

Haven't been travelling oversea lately since last year short trip to Sri Lanka. Well, I'm preparing my next trip to Spain this coming June with a stopover in Paris. Will be in Granada to attend a scholarly conference and then proceed to Barcelona. I've chosen Barcelona as my main itinerary simply because of Antoni Gaudi and Sagrada Familia (see the attached photo from the internet). Hopefully will have a smooth and safe trip. Shall write more after back from the trip.
