today, i was both proud and disappointed with my country.
i have never felt this way towards my country before.
probably because i have just reach the age to understand more about what goes on in the country.
and to start caring for my country.




following the bersih's twitter, i read the updates as the events were happening.
those people, who were there.
were brave and strong.
they were pelted with tear gas, water cannons and even rain.
but they did not give up.
my heart went out for them.




from my bedroom window, i woke up to see the deserted highway.
i could also see helicopters flying around.
i could see policemen standing on the highway.
and on two occasion i saw two large group of people walking.
i do not know who these people were and where they were heading to.




it was heart wrenching to read what the people had to go through.
it would have been a peaceful rally (not a riot) if the ____ had not reacted like how they did.
i think it was unnecessary. but there is always two sides to a story.




the one tweet that stuck with me was that,
when it was all over, the bersih people, went to shake the police's hands.
this showed that they meant no harm.




prayers for those injured and those arrested
and for those that have died are much needed.
through something as sad and depressing as this,
we, the country or at least a part of the country had came together.
not caring about race, age or religion.
i have never seen the malaysian people so united.




to read the news now, and to know more on what had happened.
i feel so proud for those who preserved on.
those who had not give up.
those who got hurt but continued on.
these people did not and i think will not ask to be acknowledge.
but just to be heard.




today, would be a day that will go down in history.
but, it will not be printed into the history textbooks for the next generation to know.
but no matter what.
this will be a story that will not be able to be swept under the carpet.
this will be the talk of the country.




but, all's well that ends well.
keep malaysia in your prayers.
a change will be coming, its only a matter of time.




to those who were involve,
i respect and admire you.
and i am also keeping you in prayers.


for those teenagers no matter girls or boys,
for you to not care about this, you should be ashamed.
you dont have to support it or go against it. 
but it would be good if you take notice of it.
it is our future at stake. 
our generation. 
think about it.
