Merdeka!

So we are free from the outsider from ruling the country for 48 years now, 31st of August 2005. But, how independent are we in finding our very own values as a nation that should have been different from the others? Where are our own true colours? Come to think of it, things were better off when we are still not freed; we fight for all the good patriotically reason. Now, freedom and independence are took for granted, so, you are in the field waiting for the strike 12, so, you stay in the celebration spot for hours, really, tell me, what were you waiting for? Celebration of independence is nothing but free entertainment worth waiting for with all the people gathers in perhaps the most obnoxious outfits or even with other intentions. I rather like the celebration in smaller scales, staying at the proximity of the hypes, where you can stand still meditated, and asked to ourselves, “What have we done in proclaiming ourselves as a Malaysian I think its time to come together and ponder what have we done and what could have done in searching our own identity as Malaysian and together placing Malaysia in parallel with the developed nations. Malaysia Boleh!

ya, what's the value of independece nowadays? malaysia is young, considering that she's been living under colonialism since as early as 1511 when the portugese attacked malacca. she's been suffering for 446 years, before it reached to 1957... and just 48 years after 1957, she suffers even more. i've been wondering, if she could make a choice, would she choose the life she had in the pre-1957 era or the one that she's having right now in the post-1957 era? i wonder if she missed her old days? or is she looking forward for the future? what would malaysia say? what is she thinking?
