My Hari Merdeka eve

I'm drinking coffee at Ipoh now. Already forgotten when was the last time I really cared about Hari Merdeka. All I know is that every 31st August I need to attend an event in Perak....every year. So my 31st August is about picking a nice gown, enjoying great cuisine, flow of beer, and endless entertainment! I'm a bad Malaysian babe huh...

In order to compensate my feeling of guilt being a Malaysian who loves her country much, I purposely surf the web for this - the every year theme for celebrating Hari Merdeka.

Do you see what I highlighted up there? For consecutive 7 years the government actually maintained the same theme of Keranamu: MALAYSIA! Good things are meant to be well preserved but to me it looks more like everyone was even lazy enough to care about it so just simply gave an excuse to promote patriotism towards our beloved country. Duh~

Anyhow I like the theme of this year - Unity is the core of success. Yes, we want unity for Malaysians, not only talk about unity of certain races. This country is meant for ALL MALAYSIANS so every of us deserves BEING TREATED FAIR AND SQUAREl. Long live MALAYSIA! Long live MALAYSIAN!

I love you so much that I blog meanwhile counting down to your birthday. Happee Birthday Malaysia!~ You're 51!
