aus fed el

Yesterday was australian federal election. Apparently here, once you are 18 you can start voting. So the other day my friends were arguing who they shud vote, really stupid...lol...
Last night the result was out. After 11.5 yrs under liberal, labor won this yr, with Kevin Rudd as the new australian president.

Did you know?
Wikipedia already had the new result of the federal election included when i checked this morning, even all the other languages like mandarin, cantonese, japanese, indonesian, malay, spanish, french etc had the news that kevin rudd was the new president...do ppl like wait and update or what? so fast...
Kevin Rudd has a chinese name. No it's not a direct traslation: 凯文·拉德 (kai-wen·la-de)but 陆克文 (Lu Kewen)...not bad, putting his surname first before his first name, like a real chinese name...i was like, who translated his name until like dat, it's all terbalik...until i read (from wiki) that he gave himself this chinese name....impressive
oh, and he apparently eats earwax...it's even on youtube...lol
