My Independence Weekend

31st August 2012 marks as Malaysia's 55th Independence Day. Merdeka! cheers are exchanged when the clock strikes 12 midnight. As it falls on Friday, many Malaysians are excited for the long weekend. I am one of them...

Here is the list of things we did during the break:

- celebrate dear Brother's 16th Birthday
- little bit of fireworks watching
- sleepover at in-laws and spending time with the lovelies
- breakfast at Darus SS15 (tak mandi pun, shhhhhh!)
- Mama's home-made Laksa for lunch and next 2 breakfasts
- hair curling session with Mira
- Fast Five movie night
- late supper at Darus again....
- Wan's friend BBQ (Azman, tq for the great food, seriously sangat sedap)

- Shahieda and Dos's open house (can you believe it takes us one and half hour to reach Bukit Antarabangsa from Sunway? Traffic was bad!)

Fooling around in the car

- Girls Day Out and Sephora's third store Opening

Gangnam Style in Sephora

I know those are non-patriotic activities, but here, i want to admit that i am proud to be Malaysian. I am always grateful that i was born and raise here. I love Malaysia, but i hate the politics that's going on. With the road-bully recklessness, racism, everyday crimes, the ungrateful Indons and Banglas, Mat rempits (hmmm...where do i start?) and not to forget pompous Malaysians. Despite of the above mentioned, KLCC Twin Tower, the constant admiration of delicious Malaysian food, great little islands (Redang, Perhentian, Sipadan, Manukan etc), friendly people and harmony living among the diversify races, surpass all of my little dislikes of Malaysia.

It is indeed Tanah Tumpah Darahku..... Happy 55th Birthday Malaysia!
