For The First Time....

i think 2009 started off in a pretty interesting way. For starters, there are a lot of '1st times' happening to me or around me but i'm a part of it or a witness to it.

For starters, interesting stuffs has been happening to my home state of Perak.

For the first time Perak is taken over completely by the opposition party and some improvements can finllay be seen made to the long forgotten town of Ipoh.

For the first time, party-hopping has been such a hit that assemblymen jump out & back into a certain party.

For the first time, Perak was on the front page of all the daily national newspapers for our jumping political issue.

For the first time i hear someone threatened to sue the DYMM Paduka Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah.

For the first time, we have 2 Menteri Besar in Perak.

For the first time, i read riots happening outside the Istana Iskandariah Kuala Kangsar to the point where tear bombs needs to be fired.

For the first time, massive traffic jam that goes several kilometre of bumper-to-bumper crawl which lasted several hours due to road blocking at the exit to Jusco in Ipoh Garden East.


Apart from that, more closer to heart is work.

For the first time i've witness the economic recession hit so hard that so many people lost their jobs and i'm beginning to feel fear i might be next.

For the first time i'm experiencing the VSS program.

For the first time, i'm willing to have my salary deducted for the better good of the company.

For the first time, losing my job is not an option.


Also, there are other things that are even more closer to heart but it's too personal to disclose to the pool of limitless information. i guess that's what it means to grow up & survive in this society.
