Bonus!

Alhamdulillah.. I am so grateful because after 2 years, I got my bonus this year. Besides, the increment also quite ok. It is really helpful for my wedding budget next year, Insya Allah.

That is my second bonus of this year. The first one is the new state government for Selangor. PKR-DAP-PAS (Barisan Alternatif) has formed the new state government after win the 12 general election on 8th March 2008. It was so unexpected that the BA has won the election in Selangor, Kedah, Perak and Penang beside PAS is remains in Kelantan. The election result has shocked the whole nation and other countries where BA has denied BN to win 2/3 majority in parliament. BA won 82 seats while BA won 140 seats from 222 seats. Some of they said it was a 'political tsunamy' in Malaysia. I hope that new state governments will rule the states better than what has been done by BN over 50 years since 1957. I can see that BA has good opportunity to prove that they can be a good government and this is the chance as the preparation to rule the country in 2013, Insya Allah.

By the way, UMNO (main component of BN) now facing many crisis after the election. The PM now is not get full support from the people and I think he should step down. I see he has lack of charisma to be a good leader from the beginning he become the PM. A few years before he became the PM, I have attended a dinner where he gave a speech. I saw, many people were enjoyed having their dinner instead of listening to what he said. Until today, 3 deputy ministers have resigned from their post and UMNO is now so worried if their MPs will jump into the opposition party (BA). We will wait and see what happened after this.

Those two bonuses are really good things happened this year to me. Meanwhile, my sister has her wedding ceremony on the election day. It will be a remembered wedding ceremony of our family even though many of our friends and relatives were not come because of the election. I hope that she will live happy ever after with her husband.
