080808 is the date when my blog has just started. It is also the day when the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games has its grand opening ceremony. For the past year, many things has happened. Some expected while others are not.
For example, the power transition in UMNO, or rather in a bigger picture, the Barisan Nasional, has caused the resuffle of power in the Malaysia federal government. The prime minister are no longer Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi but is now his ex-deputy, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. This isn't something really unexpected as the March 8 General Election has shown a decline in support towards the Abdullah-led goverment. Besides that, the economy crisis which has already been predicted to worsen has really did so. Major indices around the world are busy heading southwards especially between September and December last year. Luckily, for now, we can see signs of recovery. Hopefully that whatever the Najib-led government will do on the country's economy model reformation will be able to reposition Malaysia in the financial world.
On the other hand, there are a lot of things unexpected happened too. One that has affected me the most directly is that i ma now studying in AIMST University, Kedah Darul Aman. Before this, I have never thought that I would have come here to study. I have expected myself to be doing A-Levels in Taylor's University College but things have changed, so quickly and dramatically. Another thing which is unexpected but might affect each and everyone of us is the current outbreak of the infueanza A(H1N1) all around the world. This few weeks the situation has turned from bad to worse. People now are so afraid of it. It spread in such a high rate that it has now become hard to keep track. Just today, Health Minister, Dato' Liow Tiong Lai has announced that the number of confirmed case in Malaysia will not be announced anymore as it has become too hard to track all the patients.
365 days has passed, everyday there will be new things happening. The world is changing so we should also. If we don't do so, it won't be too long before we will be changed by someone else.
