Merdeka parade

Malaysia is celebrating its 61st birthday this year and after so many years the parades were hosted in the city of KL, it was in Putrajaya this time, taking place the stretch outside my office. Since hubby’s promise to take the kids there in 2016 where they were down with HFMD, we still couldn’t make it last year and this time, I really had no excuse not to bring them there since my office promised us a parking space, it was such a convenience. And I had no reason not to go because I left my pouch at office which if I didn't go and pick up, I couldn’t survive the long weekend as I only had rm50 with me, from the piggy bank we kept at home for emergency use. So the kids were excited where we set off really early, even nearly 7 but they got bored over time because the parade was too long and slow. But it was overall a good and priceless experience. The only regret is, we were there without hubby. I think we could do it better with his presence because he would explain things better. He caught me explaining cyclone typhoon to Cheng as part of Mother Nature and weather cant be explained and predicted, so he shook his head. Hahaha, in my defence, I returned sciences back to my school right after I finished SPM. Peace ok!! Anyway back to the story of our nation celebrating its independence, the patriotism this time is widely and loudly shown by people all walks of life, with some comments that because being a new Malaysia. I think the mindset should be corrected, we love the country regardless who the ruling party is. Be like someone at home who without fail decorating the house with jalur gemilang in the month of August and take them down after September 16. Even the postman recognised our house by making remarks “rumah yang gantung jalur gemilang tu kan”. Hahahaha!
