For my son, when he grows up, this site will be my legacy for him. The decisions his mother and I made for him, to understand them, to learn from them and to lead a life without prejudice and to succeed in it on his own merit.

GE13 - the soluble indelible ink

i was one of the earliest to arrive at the polling center in sek keb pandan perdana. having heard so much of the indelible ink, i was ready to be proudly marked and stayed glorified for at least a week.

by the time i casted my vote, i was done by 8.25am. walking out and greeting friends in queues on my way out and having some light chats. was home by 8.45am and out of curiousity, washed my finger to see if the ink really do stayed on.

first attempt using hand lotion and to my surprise, most of it came off. decided to take a picture of the first wash. made another attempt but this time using stronger detergent (WIN dishwasher with lemon) and a rough sponge to run over it.

here's the result.
