And the penguins march into the Parliament.

Not quite literally. But it might just as well be. Believe me, seeing 2 buses of people in only black and white make your head spin. 

The experience was great nonetheless. Being in the Parliament proceeding itself, sitting in the Dewan Rakyat, listening to the speaker(mumbling) and receiving a Parliament style bang-on-the-table-in-approval welcome after one of the deputy minister announce our presence was surreal. 

But, the highlight of the day? This - "Oi, Alor Gajah, kalau mau cakap berdiri, tak mau duduk diam lah!"(Oi, Alor Gajah[one of the constituency], if you want to speak, stand up, if not, sit down!), coming from a fellow MP to another, in response of Alor Gajah talking to another MP when this MP is making his statement. Malaysia boleh-ness. And we thought having more than half the seats empty during Parliament proceeding, and half of those present sleeping away is bad enough. 

And I was practically refraining myself from laughing out loud in fear of being thrown out from the sitting when the oppositions kept shooting questions at our very own Deputy Finance Minister, and his reply to almost every question was, "Itu saya tak ada jawapan."(no answer), to which the others reply, "Itulah, semua tak ada jawapan, lain kali suruh Menteri datang!(everything no answer, that's why, ask the minister to be present next time)" And the answer to the next question? "Itu jawapan telah disediakan, tapi kena cari*flips through piles of documents scattered on his desk*"(that, answers have been prepared, but I have to look for it). Throw in the Deputy Minister pulling up his forever dropping pants every 10 seconds throughout the whole question time. 

Great stuff. Kids of the Parliament. Kids who are paid by the people and have the trust of the people on their shoulders.

Speaking of REAL great stuff, the 2009 Formula One season has officially started!! And I have never been so excited hearing engines roar when the cars are on track, and I totally did a "Ohhh, welcome back F1!! Been a longgg break!!" at the TV when Kimi is on track and to which my mum replies, "It's just noise and cars going round the track, what's so exciting about it?"

I rest my case. After all, she thinks free kick, corner kick and penalty kick is the same thing. Sport is not her thing, yeah.
