My Merdeka

Alright, this year's Merdeka was different, really different. For the first time after 20 year being born in this earth, i went for a countdown. Thanks to my church people, so now when people ask me, if i ever gone for a countdown, i can say "Yes i did". The countdown started by dinner at Kim Gary. I didn't eat anything, cause by seeing the place, i knew it's really expensive and i can't really afford it. Even toasts is about RM4++. So yea, it's my another first time to that place, but again didn't really enjoy much, because i didn't eat or drink and i was busy taking pictures.



Spotted a cockroach at Kim Gary.

After the dinner, we head off to the main stage, outside of the mall, to watch performance there. There was this band name "Nrocinu" performing. Their members are Roll Kamarul (guitar, vocals), Shah Sidious (guitar), Alan (bass) and Zali Deathstroke (drums) and they are famous from Batu Pahat. When we have arrived there, we were at the far back from the stage. I can't see anything, but see the colour of their musical instruments. The moment over there was so much funnier with the presence of David Lim and James. They kept on making all kinda jokes about the band. Many other funny things, also did the others did. Like one time, the MC said if he sings a song ,then it will be raining (hujan) - What he meant was, it's going to rain when he sings. But these guys went and shouted for Hujan (a band). They kept on shouting for Hujan. hahaha. So it was really funny. Come to think of it, we're the only group which creates lots of noise, over there. hahaha. But i think we did enjoy to their show. The vocalist keep on using the word "Gue" (which means me, or i). The tagline of the day is "Rock boleh rock, tapi biar aman".

The time of countdown came, i quickly whipped out my camera, and about to shoot some fireworks picture, but . . . . . . there wasn't any. WASTED! So with disappointing heart, we went away. Even at my place in Alam Megah, also got fireworkslah. Then we head back to Sunway Pyramid, deciding where and what should we do, because it's traffic jam out there. So we walked around Pyramid, and ended up at Uncle Lim's. Another place which i saw many people go, but its my first time. After a while there, we went back home.

Now the serious side. While we were coming back from the stage (where the performance from the band was), there were some indonesian people there. Actually more like Indon youths. They were wearing this funny clothing, which if I'm not wrong, is something My Chemical Romance would wear. NOT forgetting their "wings", yea some of them have wings, some with white wings, and others with black. Don't know if it's related with good or bad though. They were talking in some weird slang and wordslah. I know they are from Indonesia, because some of the words they use is Malay words. So yea, they went and making noise all around, thankfully they didn't create any havoc while they were there. Not only them, but there are others too who actually wore long white wicks, some with colourful. I don't know why they come for a Merdeka countdown for. Is it because they lack of attention and needs one at a crowded place, or were they came to appreciate Merdeka. Seeing all this makes me think, are we really Merdeka yet. . .

Anyway i end this post with a video from Youtube. I know it's actually a Deepavali ad, but still i think it's quite relevant with Merdeka.

P.S. Merdeka stands for Independence.
