Tomorrow Malaysia Decides
Tomorrow would be an important day for Malaysia. GE15 (the 15th General Election) was set to take place, with 221 parliamentary seats being contested. After years of political uncertainty, shifting alliances, and leadership changes since 2018, this felt like a moment many Malaysians had been waiting for.
We quietly hoped for something simple—that good judgment would prevail, and that the next government would truly serve the people.
A Public Holiday with Purpose
The government declared today a public holiday to allow everyone time to travel home and vote. For us, it meant a slower, more reflective day before an important morning ahead.
Brendan had been given an extra week off and was flying back from Kuching to vote as well. It felt good knowing we would all be doing our part.
Lunch Trip to Tanjung Sepat
We decided to take a leisurely drive to Tanjung Sepat for lunch—something we had done a few times before, but always enjoyed.
This time, we wanted to try something new, so we headed to Restoran Ban Joo Hing. It did not have the sea views of some other nearby restaurants, but that didn’t matter much to us.
After looking through the simple menu, we ordered:
- Spicy Fried Stingray – RM38.00
- Sambal Fried Prawns – RM48.00
- Chinese Herbal Paper Wrapped Chicken – RM48.00
- Sweet Potato Leaves – RM12.00
- 2 servings of white rice @ RM1.50 each
- 1 pot of Chinese tea – RM6.00
Our seafood lunch came to RM155.00 (≈ USD34 / EUR33). It felt a little expensive, but the meal was satisfying, and we took our time enjoying it.
A Stop for Dragon Fruits
After lunch, we made a short drive to Mimi Dragonfruits. Just as we arrived, it began to rain heavily. Mimi kindly came out with an umbrella to guide us in, which we really appreciated.
We ended up buying RM60.00 (≈ USD13 / EUR13) worth of dragon fruits. Her smile said it all—it felt good to support a familiar face.
Waiting at KLIA
From there, we drove to KLIA to pick up Brendan. His flight (MH2513) had departed from Kuching at 1:51pm and landed at 3:20pm.
Within half an hour, he walked out into the Arrival Hall, and it was a simple but happy reunion.
Heading Home
We got back into Puteh and made the drive home, taking around an hour and a half. It had been a calm day—nothing dramatic, just small moments, quiet thoughts, and a sense of anticipation.
Looking Ahead
Tomorrow would be a big day.
We planned to wake up early and head to the polling stations. Whatever the outcome, it felt important to show up and be counted.
Stay tuned!
