This Is Home: Parliament Trip

It was my first trip to parliament yesterday with the lower and upper 6 students. It was a trip which required a year of advance booking for the seats in the public gallery. After school, we left school at 2pm by school bus that they hired arriving there at 2.15pm. When we'd been told to wait till 3.30pm, we headed to the canteen to wait for the time to pass. Chatting, gossiping, camwhoring, studying and not to forget, some fancy can drinks cutting by 6R2 class monitor.

After an hour, we been called to head to the side entrance of the parliament building. Security check up at the entrance with a x-ray scanner and metal detector. First stop, dewan negeri. Waited for a while to take turns to get into the senate or better known as dewan rakyat. An officer did a simple briefing about the do and don't in the dewan rakyet. Got into the dewan rakyat after that. A peaceful debate by the politicians. I got really mesmerised by the superb lightings and structure of the roof in the hall. Watching them was fun as i got to see them hit their tables and raising up their voice agianst one anther. Some seems to be sleeping but been told by the officer that they were actually thinking. =.=

After 30 minutes, our time is up and we left the hall to give turns to other people to watch. Once a foot being stop outside the hall, a tv which outside the hall showing a live telecast shocked us with excitement as one of the BN Kinabatangan representative shouting ' you shut up, you sit down! ' to the others that interrupt during his talk. This shows the dark side of the dewan rakyat. XD Went back to school after that.

Something we didn't know inside parliament.
