50th already?
Well,on Merdeka eve. How I Merdeka-ed? Went to The Curve.Sengall ofcourse came.I went with my daddy first at about, 3-4pm. And Jln Tun Razak was already jam.shissh...
Ikano was having the merdeka thingy outside at the street.All the games and the mc and shiat.Reminds me of family day in good ol' fairview.(dont ask me why..) After we had lunch, daddy went around by himself while I,lepak-ed. Sengall came by later on and we jalan2 cari pasal.tried out the new bowling alley there.Damn oily but its ok. Met back with dad at dome. (vanilla milkshake so....shaky.hehe)
Met sis and mom at the curve.(yes,it was a fun-filled family merdeka outing.) Jalan-jalan... Wanted to find some place to eat dinner(yeah,all we did was eat the whole day) pretty much impossible with the long queues outside almost every restaurant there were at The Curve and Cineleisure. (Tony Romas was out of the question.45mins wait?sheeeeebai. =P)
Ended up eating at Eden.Seafood platter was good.better than the one in victoria station.the plate was wiped clean! (partly bcause sengall shared it with me.ehehe)
Our lovely seafood platter.oh,not to forget the malaysian flag. =P
Mom & Dad.
We're waiting...
By the time we finished and got out, there were even MORE human beings around.My dad and mom went on on their own date over to the quieter side; Ikano. While sis,sengall and I went off to; pasar malam.yurp, a night market over at Cineleisure. We obviously merdeka-ed there lah with the shopping and the lucky draw(we got a complimentary pen at the second try. the first time sengall picked up nothing.) Got myself some clothes, a watch and a pair of necklace.hehe... My sis did double the amount of shopping. Whatever she touched she would get her money ready. And if I tag along, even MORE shopping! (good thing she just got her salary.)
Kaksha after doing much shopping.
Merdeka~!
my chocolate marshmallow...!!!(again with the flag.)
After tiring ourselves there, my sis wanted to go back before the BIG jam starts.Left at 11:30.(really,whats the point?) it already started to jam up like mad. In the end, we got stuck at that road heading to Jln Kuching. Celebrated Merdeka over there. With no fireworks eventhough we had clear view of Twin Towers and KL Tower.(they decided not to have any eh? just to find out it was only at Dataran.nyek.) Ouh well, we had our own fun filled time in the car. What not with the drama of our car running low of petrol.And it starts to heat up. And getting stuck in a major jam with no sign of petrol station nearby.
The BIG jam.
As you can see on the right side,its the petrol.and tht round light states that "we're in deep shit if the car doesnt get petrol anytime soon."
Yes,it was so freaking jam we started to take the photo shoots OUTSIDE.
Surprisingly, we survived. We got to the shell station in sentul. safely. (goooood peugeot.hehe.) And shiat the darn car eats up petrol like nobody's business! (rm139?!??) Good thing its a company car. can claim.
Yap..thats us stuck in a jam.
Reached ampang at around 1 something or 2.Ate at the mamak till 3 something. When we got home,the moment the 3 of us stepped out of the car, the spraying began.yes,we bought tons of those spraying thingy.snow and the stringy shiat. good fun. and fake snow does not taste good in your mouth, mind you.
Things that I love when Malaysia celebrates merdeka(especially on its 50th year):
+ practically everybody is out.may it be out of the house,in malls,in girlfriend's/boyfriend's house(ehem..heheh)
+ The flats, especially the ones near where you come down from the elevated highway to Jln Tun Razak, will be FULLY decorated with different forms of the Malaysian flag.(if they could I think they would paint the Malaysian flag on their building..)
+ The school students participating in the parade is always nice to watch. (there's so many!and colourful too.ahakx!)
+ The mat rempits yang tak berjaya will always fill up the space in Titiwangsa.
+ The BIG group of small kids on their BIG bicycles(dont think they realize they're still small) would cycle from I dont know where late night. I find them really cute. Usually spot the ones outside of Titiwangsa. (future mat rempits, but much cooler.)
+some people express their patriotic spirit by the amount of flags they have OR the size of their flags.
Whatever flags you see in this picture,its on that car.
Leaving out the shitty stuff that the country has to offer,all I have to say; Love ya Malaysia. :)
♥Bid Farewell
