The First Black President of The U.S.A

   I do not have political views because I thought my self and by some people that to not speak about politics and due to that I did not find it that important as long as it did not affect my life. My second post or assignment is to blog about the President of the United States.

   As far as I can remember the president election where Barack Obama was in the running for was the only one I have seen before. On the date of November 4, 2008, the United States of America was in a frenzy when Barack Obama won the bid to became the president. On that day a YouTube video was released named "the obama victory song" by lil wayne & T-pain. After searching through YouTube another video was released by Soulja Boy. Recently there was a cartoon episode created due to the election it showed about how the people were about the election of Barack Obama as the president.

   I do not know much on the current president of U.S.A but once while I was reading the newspaper an article caught my eye. The article was about how a person from Indonesia knew Barack Obama which was kind of surprising to me because I only thought that the article was about someone who migrated from the United States to Indonesia and he knew about Barack Obama. To my surprise Barack Obama was actually living in Indonesia for 5 years and at the age of 10 he was sent back to his grandparents in Hawaii due to the problems in Indonesia by his mother.

   Due to this assignment I researched and understood a little about Barack Obama eventhough I did not took the time to know what was the latest thing that he did. Going through his biograph I found and interesting quote and I belived that believing in this words was one of the reason why he became the President. The quote was "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."

A New Place

   The only new place that has happened in my life was the shifting of my university. University Tun Abdul Kelana Jaya Razak in had moved to the Leisure Commerce Square which is actually an upgrade than the previous place. Now the university is not actually hiding behind a supermarket and on the plus side the area now the university is at can actually be called a campus. Instead of hanging around next to the roadside, we can actually hang out at a square in the heart of the university. Since we started the semester at the new place during the fasting month I have not had the chance to try the restaurant around the Leisure Commerce Square a.k.a The Bali Building but i heard that the food is cheap but i still miss the atmosphere at the indian restaurant called Bala.
  My first day at the new campus did not went through as I planned, I planned to come early to scout around the place to get a more better perspective on the place since I have heard a lot from the previous users of the building which were the students of the Taylor's College. My plan did not went that well because I arrived a bit too early, because I arrived to early I had plenty of time to waste since my next class was not going to begin in two hours, since there were not much to do I decided to spend my time at the library while waiting for class to begin.
  The new place was not what I expected but it was too early to tell. All I can say is that the place is actually pretty descent and the place is really beautiful. Eventhough the university have not finish settling with the classes in chaos where some of the classes does not even have any tables or chairs, it is still too early to tell maybe in a couple of month every thing will run smoothly as it previously was.
