I had a wonderful time today. I took half-day leave just for the Merdeka celebration. See how patriotic am I. Hehehhe… actually, this is my very first Merdeka countdown.

I went to Ikano for the celebration because Aaron wants to see this band ‘Disagree’ perform and furthermore I thought they have a big celebration due to the great advertisement in the newspaper and the radio and they have hot air balloon ride too. But to my disappointment, it was not as great as it was advertised. Firstly, it was just a small area of Ikano and the crowd wasn’t there. Secondly, the hot air balloon is my biggest dissapointment. I thought I can get my foot on the hot air balloon but we queued for close to an hour for the ride and the queue don’t seem to be moving and so is the hot hair balloon. We got fed up and just left that place at around 8pm after the band Disagree played.

We head on to Bukit Bintang for the next few hours before midnight. We manage to catch a glimpse of Jac and Saiful from the Malaysian Idol. Saiful is really a pretty boy. Hahahah… but I think we missed the other Malaysian Idol contestant. During that time we are having dinner. I was hoping to meet Vick. But no such luck. I know I know… he’s an ah beng or aqua u may call him…. But I just want to meet him in person. I really really want to join the others in Shah Alam and see them perform life. So if any of you out there has tickets, please do spare me one.

You guys wouldn’t believe your eyes on the amount of people there in Bukit Bintang. The Bukit Bintang road is filled with humans. It’s such a sight that can’t be seen often other than during New Year’s eve celebration.

I really have a great and wonderful time. I wish it were Merdeka everyday. Hahahahahaha….
