The moment i've been waiting for is finally now! (Lol the intro).
I remember during high school when i said i am from Rantau, nobody knows where on earth Rantau is. That i had to say that i was from Senawang, Seremban, Port Dickson or simply just Negeri Sembilan. Even my teachers thought that i was from Sabah Sarawak. And after high school, people assumed that i am either originally from Selangor or Kelantan hahaha. NOBODY ever guessed it correctly that i am actually from Negeri Sembilan while i am a 100% pure Nogorian.
As i get older, people from my circle started to directly know where Rantau is without me putting tons of effort to show it on the map. Maybe because of the circle itself. And today, as i am currently at Sungkai, Perak meeting new bunch of great minded friends nationwide, i am glad that i have about 6 friends who are from Negeri Sembilan. I mean, i know most people from other states had already experienced being in the same room with hundreds of their negeri-mate and for me to have only 6 in the same room is not a big deal. But whatever. Just don't burst my bubble. Lol.
And thanks to the Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK), the quiet, slow pace Rantau finally took a different turn. The country finally noticed us hahaha. The atmosphere was also rather festive this time around. I swear the traffic was insane on the day of election like never happened before. And oh, for those who wondering why this PRK was happening, please know that i am not in the right position to write more about why this by-election was happening. Especially because we can simply just Google the info. Plus i am also no politician or pro anything to comment about it.
But, i know it's plain easy to throw those with 'incoherent' politics believe under the bus. Then we continue with never ending arguments. But in the end, i believe that if we want to see change happening within our communities, we must rise up as a community and come together to help one another in every possible way. Part of me does agree in politics for change, but on top of it, i accept as true that we must first look to ourselves for change. Idk. Just my 2 cents.
Back to the main topic, so i went from Sungkai to Rantau last Friday and went to vote the next morning. And today, as the usual Sunday morning, i went to Titiwangsa for my regular class that i also regularly love to skip (because it's during Sunday morning hahaha k). And now here i am back in Sungkai for this week onwards. All of my friends here know that i went back to Rantau to vote because i sent them a photo of me with my ink stained finger cause they really need to know about what's happening in the country especially Rantau at the moment (hashtag crucial). And in return, i got photos of them went for gotong-royong during the PRK day and they also went to Lata Kinjang Waterfall. Which they were happier. Lol.
Brb, reading bunch of advice on how to deal with FOMO.
