Quiet Merdeka Day…

It’s a very quiet Merdeka Day. Usually, we living in Kuala Lumpur would heard jets flying, and performing proudly on the sky, with those loud noises. Since the celebration was held in a stadium this year, Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil, hence there would be no outdoor performance. Everything is toned down.

Yesterday night, after I have watched a movie ‘Adventure of the King’ starred by Richie Ren and Barbie Hsu, which is a quite humourous movie to watch, especially the addition of Law Kar Ying in the film. He acted as royal historian, responsible in recording the emperor’s deeds when he was out of the palace. Very funny acting by him. He is always funny even facing his own fiery wife, Liza Wang. Not really a movie review here, because I have nothing much to say. Worth watching, deserves 6.8 out of 10 points from my perspectives.

So, we went home around 2am. Since there is no fireworks for this year’s National Day, hence it would be very usual in KL. No traffic jams, no grand-scale countdown. From this morning’s news, I saw that not many people wondering around Dataran  Merdeka last night to celebrate the countdown of National Day. The only unusual thing is that Petronas Twin Towers which usually switches off lights by 12am, but yesterday’s night, switches off by 2am, extended 2 hours to commemorate the celebration.

Everything is quiet. It’s just a public holiday when many people enjoyed, not really a patriotic day. Of course, the patriotic month has not ended yet, since it will until September 16, Malaysia Day. This time, Malaysia Day would be a public holiday. Good….Today is also the last day of August, which marks the end of third quarter of the year…so fast!
