If we were American, would Y and I be among the hundreds of thousands streaming onto National Mall? Yes, we would.

I am not an American and I did not vote for you. But I have embraced your message of hope and change and believe that you will make the world a better place. Dear President Barack Obama, please don’t screw up.

Y says he wants to be an American. I think I do not need to be American for Barack Obama to be my president and wonder if Malaysia will ever get her breakthrough.

People are braving the crowds because they want to say they witnessed history happen. So that’s why I’ve been glued to the television since 6pm.

I see hope in the eyes of all the people. Is it wishful thinking or do I recognise it because I feel it?

CNN announces that “President Obama and V.P. Biden will attend lunch…” following the inauguration ceremony. President Obama. Wow. It really happened.
