Knowing more means more disappointment
My poor darling is sick, I think. Didn't hear his call and now he's asleep. Hope he'll sleep it off & recover tmr! Haha.. ;P
Anyway, what's this thing about Merdeka day being "Malaysia's birthday"??? I keep hearing this "Happy birthday, Malaysia" on TV.....
Come on.. It's *not* the BIRTHday of Malaysia! 31st August 1957 was the Independence Day for 'Malaya' (aka HALF of Malaysia)! The birth of Malaysia's on September, ok! How did we get so screwed up and forget the meaning of 31st August??
Just like how other policies are screwed up as well... They all start with good intentions (I hope) and end up being manipulated & enforced for the wrong reasons.
Sorry I am not patriotic. Keranamu Malaysia (because of you) is was a good tagline, but it doesn't apply to many of us (minorities) because of SO many reasons. Yes, we are all disappointed. But we do hope for a better tomorrow. But no, we cannot be patriotic and all excited because we deserve better.
( Sigh. Politics. )
I just celebrate Merdeka because it means FREEDOM (free from being conquered, no curfews). And just for fun. ...Although, I've a feeling I'll be home tomorrow; watching t.v.
