It\u2019s a strange Sunday morning to wake up to\u2026 with a new President that garnered just 35% of the vote and won only by a crazily small margin of 0.4% ahead of his rival. Or put in another way; our new and seventh President is also, relatively, the most unpopular president ever going by vote share. Ling and I stayed up till 1:30 AM hoping for a conclusion to be reached one way or another, but by that point, a recount had started and Internet rumors were abound that this was in view of the decision seemingly pointing to a particular direction. Got back up at 4:15 AM just in time to receive the final news live.<\/p>\n<p>For me, the election\u2019s two strongest candidates came down to one who had all the stellar credentials and experience but wasn\u2019t universally likable for one reason or another, versus a candidate with a less impressive portfolio but who appealed to many hearts with a simple message of unity.<\/p>\n<p>In any case; more photo opportunities as we went by Nex for brunch. Checked out The Prata Place which dished out yummy super flat and crispy pratas (Matt: take note! =) ). The curry gravy was suitably thick and fragrant too. This was Hannah\u2019s first prata outing, and we are both relieved to report that she lapped all the prata pieces up.=)<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2949-prata-place\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2949-prata-place.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2949-prata-place\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taking a good look at a two plates stacked with two kosongs and three with egg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2968-prata-place\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2968-prata-place.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2968-prata-place\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&quot;Mommy feed...!&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2962-prata-place\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2962-prata-place.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2962-prata-place\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">And yes, her prata piece was dipped in a bit of curry.=)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A funny incident happened shortly after brunch.
