It's nearly 9 pm and there were already droplets of rain. The crowd has gotten bigger by the minute. The sky opened but it seems that everyone anticipated that. Up went the umbrellas and the spirited chants of "Mansuhkan ISA" followed by singing. After short speeches by a few individuals, the ones present were given the opportunity to speak their minds. A little girl in pink walked up and her words were "...free RPK...". "She's the star tonight", I remarked to Yin Kuan. Adorable girl.
Yin Kuan's birthday gift is a "NO ISA" T-shirt. So, welcome onboard the bandwagon!
Taking our oath
At last, my first candlelight vigil, in solidarity with victims of the ISA. It may the the last of a series of weekly vigils but the fact is, the struggle will definitely continue. Another memory for the both of us but we're really thirsty. Ordinary journey home but then we know that we've had our voices heard. Though it may seem like a ripple in the ocean, the day will come when it becomes a wave. I believe they call it People Power? Makkal sakhti?

And it began to rain...
