Merdeka!!

Friday, August 26th, 2005

Yikes! It’s August already. My, where have June and July gone? Oh yeah, they’re ancient history. He.. he.. I guess a lot of things happened in three months. Me finally get the vacation that I’ve been meaning to have for years (only to get hit by a rather exciting storm (?!) on our first day stay, well, I think it was exciting). Then when a girl finally returned to good old KL, everything turned topsy-turvy coz of the haze (Yeah, lame old story but this is MY blog, remember?) I nearly thought that we were going to choke to death then. I was ready to pack up and move up to the moon (the air should be better there, right? What am I talking about? There IS no air!!)

Anyway, we survived the haze (thank god!) now, if only we could survive the oil price increase!!! (Oops! I should stop at this before somebody from you-know-where censored this blog!! God forbids!!)

Let’s talk about a safer subject, Merdeka. Yup, it’s here again (and will go just the same). I could see a lot of car owners in my neighbourhood scrambling over the shop and their storeroom (looking for any spare flags I believe) and started to decorate their cars!!! If I’m not used to this already, I would’ve thought that there’s a car parade just around the corner. Well, yeah, I guess that’s how some people show their way of celebrating Merdeka Day. Me, well, you’ll find me sitting near my bedroom window, contemplating the true meaning of Merdeka. Is Merdeka really about raising our hand in the air and yelling "Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!"? (Ok, I better stop b4 I’m getting too controversional)

Alright, it’s dinner time. And I suddenly feel the need to feed myself. You might noticed that this time I had many remarks in columns (). Don’t mind those. It’s just my haze-affected brain.

Right, I better put a stop to all this babbling. So, ciao!!
