Dawns a new era

U must have serious issues with your surroundings, or u must be dead not to notice this news:

BARACK OBAMA WON IN THE US PRESIDENCY RACE

In case you don't know this, oh well, nevermind, u can still live your life. There are more important things in life :)

Anyway, back to Obama... I personally am glad that he won.. a lot of people around the globe is sharing my sentiments... people from Kenya, Africa, Indonesia, iraq, Iran, and even Malaysia.. This man proves that one's colour is not a factor in choosing a leader.

When i was walking towards my meeting yesterday, i was walking up the stairs in my uni and there were people there staring at the wall.. i was wondering why.. even Mr. Chan (co-founder of my Uni) was there looking.. i went up the stairs and there they were, watching CNN special, reporting that Obama has won... all the people in the report were shouting like crazy, almost euphoric..

what makes this man so special? he promises hope, change, and in him, everyone places their hope for a better tomorrow. U can't deny it, US is very influencial in almost every aspect. With the rise of the first Black President, I am eager to see what changes will he bring to the world...

today the Prime Minister said that it is possible for even the ethnic minority in Malaysia to be Prime Minister. Really?? hahaha.. i am a bit sceptical about that idea, but i love it. Indeed, y can't we have a Chinese, Indian or even a indegenous people as Prime Minister? If they have the capability to lead, why shouldn't they be given a chance? I would love for that day to arrive, although i hope that it wouldn't take too long.. US took 200 years (i think) for a first non White to be the president... how long will we take?

something for you to ponder about...

God Bless~
