It was such an historic event last night when Obama won the race and become the President-elect for the USA. I was one of those people who got excited over the winning simply because I have so much hope for better things to come.
Instable domestic political landscape, countries in war, rising fuel cost, financial crunch....It seems that the world is in peril. Uncertainty is everywhere! When Obama won, I look back to his promises made during campaigning ~ with regards to his foreign policies and his promise to review and mend the ties with Muslim countries which show us some lights at the end of the tunnel. I also wish that the stimulus package to salvage the ever declining economy state of the USA will help to keep recession at bay so at least country like Malaysia, which relies heavily on bilateral trade with the USA can minimise the impact of the economy crisis!
While watching BBC that night on Obama historic winning, my attention suddenly caught the city of London at the background. Suddenly, I miss London so greatly! The last time I was there was last year in Summer. Normally, London will be my annual ritual, I have never missed going to London since 2003. I remember strolling the Oxford Street, Marble Arch and walking like a mad man in London since I normally have only one day to buy all the stuff in my list. I also remember visiting my favourite Malaysian Restaurant at Mara Building where I can get a complete meal comprising of rice, meat and vege at GBP5.....
Well, I seldom travel now and if plan to do so, London will definitely be high on the list as the conversion of MYR to GBP is very favourable now.
