Merdeka Day!

yesterday was merdeka day for malaysia... don't understand why after 48 years there are poeple claims that the years are not right.. don't they understand the meaning of merdeka where we received our independence from the British not the built of Malaysia.. this is what happen when you don't totally understand the history..

well am not that patriotic myself.. since i was a singaporean born 28 years ago... i always assume that singapore is my first country and malaysia is next.. but as i grew older i think where you reside most is where your actual country is.. my experience with the merdeka day was when i was 11 years old.. i was one of the participant for the national parade which was held in Johor Bahru.. at the time the Agung was Sultan Johor.. it was a great fun.. yeah yeah.. skipped class, meet new friends and all that was fun.. our school was selected to perform the 'gimrama' along with 2 more schools.. at the time gimrama was very new.. and not even faiznur miskin knew what it was.. i still remembered that i had to wear this very short skirt and had to put on some makeup.. and we had to sleep at the classroom at one of the school a day before merdeka.. it was fun and that was something that i will never forget for a very long time... at the time i realised i am proud to be a malaysian...

so i spent my merdeka eve by having dinner with some of ardi's friends at Restoran Tasik Indah in Shah Alam... that was my favorite restaurant and very delighted when ardi told me we will have dinner there... although i don't really favor the company.. but what the heck.. it's free.. and we had that almost every year for the past three years (the first year we had ramadan buffet dinner and it was awesome!)..

on merdeka day itself, i went to KLCC with anisah nad my mom... we thought of meeting my sister there and we wanted to go to the KLAquaria.. so we took lrt from kelana jaya to klcc and it was anisah's first ride on the rail.. i knew she was excited but since shw just woke up from sleep.. she kept it to herself but you can see from her face... definitely klcc was full packed of people.. so i went straight to the aquaria to buuy ticket for all of us.. only to find out that the queue to ticket counter was till half way the tunnel... so i asked the staff how far is the queue.. and he said it will take about 10 minutes walk.. and another 2-3 hours for the ticket.. i was like.. hmmmm.. so i called my sis to cancel out the plan.. so we ended up wandering klcc and went home.. so that's it for my merdeka celebration...

tonite till monday nite... i'll be away.. we are having office family day in langkawi... so guys.. have a great weekend..
