Independence day…..
Tuesday, August 30th, 2005Well,Merdeka is here. Flags here and there, ppl on motor bikes shouting all over the place while waving the flag, fireworks lighting up the night sky, and for those who go clubbing, free flow for a certain amount of time. All this should create an aura of excitemeny\t around anyone and start to party…. But sadly,i don feel all that hyped about merdeka.
It seems that i just don really care about our independence day. I don see the meaning in all the celebration. This is quite disturbing to me. Why is it that i don appreciate my country’s independence?
But then come to think of it, do other ppl really celebrate it? Take for example the guys who go on motorbikes going at high speed waving the Jalur Gemilang, do they really celebrate the event for its meaning and value, or is it just another reason to them to go round town acting all wild as usual but only difference is the flag they carry? Do ppl really celebrate our independence day for what it is or is it just another party? I’m not saying that everyone doesn’t appreciate our independence, just that most of the ppl around me just don care much about it. or maybe its just me……..
