a new chapter has begun and the people has spoken and obama is the new prez of usa. i wasn't aware of his winning till i came back from lunch on nov 5 (nov 4 evening in states), only to notice the tv at work was tuned in to bbc and the announcement was made. i was happy, don't ask me why.. but i was happy. maybe because i been watching and trying to follow the whole prez race more out of curiosity. at times, i have doubts he can make it, when you're reminded of *robbing* the votes in previous elections. it must be a very proud moment for the african americans for all they have endured to reach this historical stage. i'm happy i can witness this moment.
ice tea and i went out to our dinner celebration only to be rob of being charge $15 (US$12) for glass of ice tea!! the poor man has 3 glasses...lmao but i guess it don't matter cuz he was celebrating, to quote him *happy days are here again*. guess we won't be going back to that joint any sooner.
i was surfing the net and come across these pictures, it spoke volumes.
an old man wept as he watched obama accepted the democratic nomination.
obama talks about his late grandma, nov 3rd.
well, now the world will be watching and waiting in anticipation for him to fully take over from the current prez on 20 jan 09. hopefully, it will be for the better....
to quote the man himself - While we breathe, we hope.
yap, i'm going to do just that...

yay
nobody robbed the votes this time
it was a very close race with the popular vote but the electoral college spoke their opinions
did you see the breakdown percentages by state? In Washington DC where they work for most of the year, Obama got maybe 92% and McCain got the rest. It was amazing how little confidence ppl had in that area.
