I went back to Kelantan for election on Thursday evening...around 8:30PM from my house in Putra Permai. Around 9:30 sampai Gombak Toll Plaza...mulanya okey saja but just after we reached Bentong, jalan dah mula slow...bila masuk Raub, kereta dah a little bit bumper to bumper....all the way, kereta memang ada and it's hard to overtake. NGANTUK!! Sampai Merapoh, cari port...took a nap!! After around 30 minutes, sambung drive ... tapi memang tak larat..sampai Gua Musang...solat Isyak...around 4AM...then tidur....5++ barulah sambung driving....berhenti solat Subuh di Kuala Krai around 6:30AM...sambung driving...sampai KB dah pukul 8:30AM, terus pergi cari nasi berlauk....Around 9AM baru sampai rumah di pintu Geng....Around 12 hours traveling just for the sake of election!!
Masuk je Kelantan, macam masuk the other side of the world... It's not like KL... tak nampak sangat musim pilihanraya. May be because the BN Government terlampau confident yang they will easily win the election. They concentrate very extremely di Kelantan... that's why bila masuk je Kelantan, situasi pilihanraya tu totally lain.
Election day's eve... I went to Pasir Mas..pergi jumpa kawan - kawan...ramai yang balik memang totally for the sake of mengundi. Sampai Restoran Jedi around 9:30PM...stay situ sampai pukul 1:30AM...just lepak - lepak. Sambil - sambil tu sempat gi ronda - ronda tengok bilik gerakan...some more...looking for money. Kat Kelantan, balik mengundi dapat claim duit tambang....
D - Day!! Bangun je tidur... breakfast and then terus cabut ke Pasir Mas. Around 8:45AM dah ada di Sek. Men. Keb. Sultan Ibrahim (2), Pasir Mas... tempat mengundi!! Luckily, my channel (Saluran 3) at that time just ada around 5 orang... tak lamalah beratur...
sambil - sambil beratur tu, teringat zaman sekolah dulu - dulu... the class room was my class masa form 5 dulu... kiranya banyak jugaklah kenangan kat situ.....
After I casted my vote, I went to my uncle's house di Kg. Seberang Pasir Mas (kiranya the other side of the river la)... kalau dulu kena naik boat penambang to go there, but now dah ada jambatan.... Lepak kat situ borak - borak politik sampai pukul 1PM... then again went to Pasir Mas. Met my friends and then.... pergi cari duit tambang (last nite all the markas kosong... last minute berkempen agaknya!)... tak dapat ler.... coz tak daftar untuk balik mengundi.... rugi pulak... sbb BN bagi around RM200 - 250 and PAS bagi around RM100 - 150.... Pukul 3:30PM barulah sampai rumah.... Busy betul, ngalah calon yang bertanding!
At night...memang tak sabar tunggu result.... my phone dah macam phone share broker....selang 3 - 4 minit, ringing... Info ntah dari mana - mana datang... lepas Isyak, dah panas punggong... terus blah pergi Pasir Mas. On the way tu...masa nak masuk Pasir Mas town...jalan sesak giler...orang tengah kira undi kat Dewan Majlis Daerah... at one corner, nampak penuh cermin kereta atas jalan.... bila sampai kedai Jedi, member - member dah penuh kat situ.... bagitau yang after Maghrib tadi ada 3 kereta cuba bawak lari peti undi... PAS supporters sempat kejar and that's why, ada cermin atas jalan....cermin kereta kancil! Kat kedai memang penuh... stay kat situ sampai pukul 3:30PM....tu pun sebab Jedi halau balik (dia dah ngantuk!). So.. balik lah....
On Sunday... bangun pagi - pagi lagi.... just after breakfast, pergi ambik I/C Adam di Pejabat Pendaftaran... then pusing satu KB, cari newspaper.... tak kira jenis paper... mana aje yang ada cerita pasal pilihanraya, beli!!!
I went back to KL on Sunday afternoon.... Reached home around 10PM...penat woooo!! I think this all for today... ada lagi gambar but tak sempat nak upload...
