I Survived the Horror!
So the verdict is out - Baik balik umah for the weekend.
My weekend at the college had been hopeless.
Nothing significant had been achieved.
Bosan gila.
But to be fair, yesterday was pretty interesting as we were finally able to ride the bicycles.
Lama gila tunggu. On weekdays, some even waited at the spot 15 minutes earlier just to get the bikes.
Siap solat Asar kat situ dulu kot. -I'm kidding.
There weren't that many people queuing that evening.
Perhaps many were discouraged to go out because it was raining.
And two busloads of people were off to Mid Valley. So less competition.
So Nabila and I went to embark on a journey to the centre of Lembah Beringin.
Wee~ Best ar, tapi sakit bontot and lenguh lutut.
Weekends at the college can be fun when you have intresting stuff to do.
Apparently, designing layouts for the yearbook and IELTS and Islamic studies presentation are not in the list.
Anyways, I read about McCain's campaign launching personal attacks on Obama through its ad called "Who is Barack Obama?" about two weeks ago. I've always wanted to write about it, but it slipped off my mind. Apparently, Barack's middle name is Hussein. And for the paranoid and the ignorant Americans, that could only mean one thing - Barack Obama is a terrorist. McCain's supporters were also reported to have practice racial slurs in gatherings and conventions. Obviously the target was Obama. Last two days, a neighbourhood in I-forgot-where in the US was shocked by the presence of "Obama" hanging upside down in front of a house a member of the community. It was actually a ragdoll with Obama's name written on it upside down. An interview with the culprit's neighbour conducted by a local TV station suggested that the man holds the belief strongly that the man in the White House should always be a "white Christian."
"I don't like Obama because I heard he's an Arab," an old woman uttered in one of McCain's rally not long ago. Right. This is just an example of how ignorant McCain's supporters are. Don't get me wrong, I reserve my respect to those voters who vote on the basis of their candidates' policies. But not to those who vote because of things they' aren't even sure of. Now even McCain finds it hard to contain his supporters from having outrageous portrayals of his competition.
The bottom line is, McCain-Palin's campaign efforts during this last stage before the Election Day can be described as desperate, extreme, reckless, and irremediable. With the way the game is heading, on Nov 4 we shall witness an "Arab" being elected as the new President of the United States.
