Merdeka? Night

Living in Malaysia for 21 years, this year's Merdeka is the worse that ever occurred throughout the country.

Ermm...maybe not the whole country, at least Klang Valley aka KL???

It was rather...

Uneventful~~

I wonder how was it in Aussie? Jon's place? Joshua's Uni?

One thing for sure I can describe the local Merdeka atmosphere was not as it seems to be throughout the past years. We realized that 90+ % of the vehicles did not have to Malaysian Flag hung. Same goes to shops and factories. Normally you'll be able to see industrial trucks ranging from light weights to heavy ones will have to Malaysian flag hung all over it at least a month or 3 weeks before the independance celebration day. But not for this year....

The only happening event that occurred is in the city where youngsters take this oppourtunity to get out late from house to attend street partays! Places like The Curve, Dataran Merdeka, Sg. Wang held their "Merdeka Celebration" there on the 30th Aug.

As for us,

We went up at hill at Puchong (of coz not the haunted one) to have a glimps at the entire city. We were able to see Putrajaya, Puchong and KL up there. To be exact, it was Vivian's housing area.

A BBQ "Merdeka Party" was organized by the Sunway Digital Center crew.

31st Aug 2008

As you try to observe, there are fire works demonstration on the center right. Its KL over there~

Nothing really special occured that night. Well, most of you all had done or attended a BBQ partay before. So, as usual..took some time to light the stove up, drank some Chivas, gamble black jack (the home version), 3 players mah jong and watch mtv while doing those.
