Yes! I have moved to my new place in Kingsford. It’s just 1km away and opposite uni.
Bye bye, Willis St.
Hello, Barker St.
While I was “busy” not updating, Australia has changed governments. Yes, the Australian Labor Party won and Mr Kevin Rudd is now the Prime Minister of Australia.
After winning the elections on Saturday night, he went straight to church on Sunday morning. His immediate priorities were to ratify the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, attend the international climate change talks in Bali next month, and implement his agenda on hospitals, education, child care and broadband. All these promises sound good, and I hope that he will keep his promises. God bless you, Mr Rudd and Australia.
Poor John Howard could not keep anything, even his seat at Bennelong; this makes him the second sitting prime minister to lose his seat. Never underestimate a lady. A lesson of humility for you, Howard. Hehehe. Especially this lady…
Change is good. Australians have exercised their democratic rights and I expect a change in the US government in the imminent elections. For Malaysia, in contrast, citizens have asked for a free and fair election, but they were asked to “exercise their democratic rights” by voting in the elections. Moreover, they were replied with chemical-laced water cannons and tear gas. What kind of democracy does the government claim Malaysians have when we do not even have a voice. I think I’ll call this ‘demo-crazy’. Governments should be afraid of the people, not the other way.
