Scribbles: how did you spend your 31st August?

as we all know, 31st august is our national day. when i was in form 2 and 4, i had to wake up very early on 31st august, slip into my girl guide uniform, and march, and march.. from bandar hilir to kubu. then, i, or rather we (my frens and i) would complain non stop. waking up early on a public holiday to march, when no one actually wants to see you. all the people want to see is the army truck, the beca and all. but this year, i feel different. yes, i admit im a patrioric person. im stand straight whenever negaraku plays, im proud of malaysia despite the politics and all. so, lets start with friday. 29th august, schools had their merdeka celebrations. as much as i wanted to ponteng to study, i felt it was important for me to attend and see what our school has prepared. it was raining that morning. but thank god, pn zaharah said assembly on as usual. and this time, we get to bring our chairs to the tapak perhimpunan! so that our butts wont have water patches after assembly. now, thats one interesting thing for a start! not in my whole 5 years of being in mgss we are allowed to bring our chairs and sit on chairs during assembly. hehe! then, the pangacara majlis started off by giving us some facts on malaysia and merdeka. and then.. here comes another interesting part! the cadet polis marched in and took the flag frm our gpk 1! smtg like in those sports events and all. yeah i know im suaku but nv really happened right in front of my eyes before maa.. sumore i sat in front! hehe. then after that they march and raise the flag while we sang negaraku and melaka maju jaya. and after tht there were performances. i like the sketch. so well done. =) enjoyed it to the max. then after tht lessons as usual. =( ok, on 31st august, i woke up early.. and decided to follow the school bus. my girl guides had to go for marching so i tagged along. patriotic mah. wana go see ali rustam. hehe! when i reached school, the guides were surprised to see me. lol. so i followed them and had fun with them. i went to the main stage there to see the performances. i like it. i like the rejimen askar melayu. their uniform so NICE! and they march.. fuhlamak! and and and.. their band... i just love it. i was just standing behind the fella who plays the.. erm.. i duno wat instrument is that. but as usual, the TYT came late. till one askar pengsan! so scary. oh yes.. and theres this family who stood beside me. the son was erm.. not normal. down symdrome i think. anyways, i think he felt hot and suddenly he ran, and wated to take off his shirt. his dad stopped him. and everyone was looking at them. i mean, please lah like tht aso wan see? and then i heard those people saying "ohh cacat..". hey people, cant u use a better word? OKU or smtg. cacat sounds so.. cacat. anyway, the dad managed to control the boy. then his mum and two sisters were beside me. and i heard the elder sis (but younger than the boy), saying 'benci' and all. i didnt wana believe wat i think im hearing. but anyway i kept quiet and she continued saying, "benci lah. dia tu. malukan ayah, malukan mak, malukan keluarga." and my instant reaction was WTF? but i kept quiet, tho i felt like slapping her. her mum replied , "sabar la. nanti mak ayah tak ada dah, saiap nak jaga abang?". and the girl continued to mumble. she was angry, with her brother. and then her mum said they wanted to go home or something, but she didnt want to. she said, "biarlah ayah ngan dia aje yang balik. i nak tengok lagi." ah yes, i appreciate their semangat patriotik. but.. sigh. its so saddening ryte? im still so angry with her. u wana know what i think? i think SHE is the one who has malukan ayah, malukan mak, malukan keluarga. gosh. such thinking. one day, one day.. she will get back her balasan. mayb she an OKU anak or smtg. tho i hope not. gee, i hope she wont read this blog. oh wait, im sure she wont. she's not civilised to go online. XD anyway after all those the TYT arrived, then he hormat. then the rejiman askar melayu played negaraku. after tht, TYT check the perbarisan. then, negaraku again. then continue lar.. well, i malas to update d. but one things for sure, i did enjoy myself this merdeka. i know i did something for my country this merdeka. did you? tepuk dada tanya selera
