Politics.. They Are Everywhere

As the title suggests, my university is undergoing some serious campaigning now. The Students' Representative Council or more recognised as Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar (MPP) is having the elections tomorrow and the people running for it are getting rather annoying.

Firstly, when it comes to getting anywhere these days (including passing by bus stops), I have to look out for hanging posters or get slammed into one or more. They don't hurt but they aren't exactly clean and it is pretty irritating. Almost every part of the university where students normally walk pass or hang out is tattered with their posters.

Secondly, they interrupt classes. Every now and then, a runner would come in and talk us into voting them. Giving us their fake promises. Seriously. Even the real politicians can't exactly fulfill their manisfesto. Them? -Sigh-

Thirdly, as if interrupting your class is not enough, they even interrupt your sleep, movie, resting time, etc by coming to your room for further campaigning.

And one of the fellow men running for it couldn't even speak properly. He was pretty much stammering all the way. Wonder what we could expect from him. Couldn't even deliver his campaign speech convincingly. But I have to give him credits for his guts though. Nevertheless, I also think everyone thinks they can run for this MPP thingy. -Sigh-

Anyway, it will all be done and dust by 5p.m. tomorrow. And to me, there is only one true winner and loser from all these campaignings. The winner is the shops offering photostating services. They probably earned like mad. And the loser..well..the janitors as they have to clean a lot these days. All the flyers and posters. -Sigh- Poor janitors and innocent trees. As if we need to waste more papers.

Right. Enough of MPP. In the world of sports, Manchester United demolished Chelsea 3-0 at Old Trafford this morning. Goals from Nemanja Vidic, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov saw the Red Devils climbed up to third place, only a point behind Chelsea with 2 games in hand if I am not mistaken. Moving on to tennis, 2 of my favourites made the headlines. Firstly, Novak Djokovic blames his racquet for his poor form. What a loser. And secondly, Maria Sharapova, the defending champion of Australian Open, has pulled out from the tournament due to her shoulder injury. How sad to hear that. -Sigh-

And with that, I shall end this post. I got to study for my quiz tomorrow. Man don't life sucks huh?
