Merdeka Celebration....

Yoyoyo~!!! Noticed that this post is how many days old... but what to do. It's all about time and time and time...

Let's get it started.

30th August. Nighttime. I went to the Curve by bus at 8pm. Supposedly to wait for Mable at 9pm and others at 11pm. Don't even know why I go there so early. But luckily Fu Han was waiting for Sze Mei at Cineleisure. So I went up to meet him. What a pity. He was waiting for Sze Mei for already half an hour. Sigh. I have to wait for Mable until 9pm. But that wasn't bad enough.

15 minutes later, Mable called to tell me that she will be coming at 11pm. Oh dear.

Finally, Sze Mei arrived. Late by a full hour ("as usual" as claimed by Fu Han XD). I left them both alone to watch a Japanese movie entitled "Big Bang Love" (which later they complained... hahahah). So, I went to the concert to see some performance. I have to admit that Malaysian Singers are quite good. I even sang to the song "You're Beautiful" performed by Vince from Akademi Fantasia. Fish Leong came, Juwito Suwito, Reshmonu and Zainal Abidin was there too. Very nice songs. I got a shock of my life when I see one of my HAD PICs (Ah Hong) performing dance routines. I even see some guys having breakdance battle when Reshmonu songs were played. Malaysian spirit~!!! XD

11pm. Ahhhh.... Everyone arrived safe and sound. And we meet up with Atak at the weirdest location..... ROAD DIVIDER AT THE CURVE/IKANO T-JUNCTION~!!!!! So many cars shot passed us as we waited for our favourite hobby, which is watching fireworks. We got a perfect location to watch the fireworks, I realized, thanks to our wise and cunning strategist Wong Cheong Tak. XD

Fireworks were very beautiful. And even apparently dangerous because it was very close.


Had yumcha late at night at William's. Only arrived home at 2am.

Deng. I did not take along my digital camera. So no pictures... T.T

31st August. The monster celebration event at Stadium Merdeka. I took the train to KL Sentral with R2P24. We are going to stadium to support "kaki-nang". Bought McDonald takeaway to be eaten at the stadium...

By the look of the preparations, I know when they (organisers) mean "Perayaan Raksasa", they do mean the word "RAKSASA".

I not sure why, but on that day, I felt very patriotic temporary.

Check out this picture. It's faces of people all over the countries.



And when we zoom out, it's Jalur Gemilang~!!!!

Imagine how many face are there in the Jalur Gemilang... Back into the stadium... Surprisingly, the crowd in the stadium was very insanely wild. This is the first time I see a Malaysian stadium full of people. It is so crowded that people actually climb on top of water tank to watch because even the top stand was full of people, which later was chased away by security. Sad...

If you looked closely at the picture, the bottom stands are empty. 10 minutes after this photo was taken, that stand was already infested with humans. The crowd was so "semangat"-ed that the whole stadium did the Mexican wave, or we should call it Malaysian wave. And we did not do it once, but 20 times of more. And it does looks cool, because the wave was made at almost a whole circle including the Human Graphics from Umno-MCA-MIC youth. By the way, the organiser's crew threw so many freebies to the crowd, including a package with red, blue, yellow and white cloth. The cloth makes the cheering environment wilder than animals in Wild Sex in National Geographic.

First performance is quite nice, but I was supporting my "kaki-nang" which is HAD members. I initially wanted to join, but due to my freaking leg injury prolonged since Negeri Sembilan's Cultural Charity, I have to FFK. Sigh.

Next was a weird item: Motorcycle show~!!! Lots of balls and posing are involved during this item.

Next was the primary children from all over Wilayah Persekutuan performed. Very touched to see one thousand plus children performing in synchrony.

If that was grand enough, next was the one thousand four hundred secondary students from all over Wilayah Persekutuan (which includes many Methodist Boys School's students =D).

Raksasa leh...

Then comes the 770 members of brass marching band consists of students from all over Klang's school, playing some patriotic songs. Very good in the sense that it involves a lot of formation and playing at the same time.

Next was pure history. It was a performance of 1400++ SGM members performing human formation. It was really freaking insanely undenying FANTASTIC~!!!! I was so into the performance that I forgot to snap pictures of it. T.T But luckily there is a blogspot for that performance. Check it out www.merdeka50sgm.blogspot.com

Finale. Fireworks. Finished. Overall it was very very very grand. The name "Raksasa" brought many meaning, including huge crowd, huge performers count, huge effort, huge stadium equipments (lots of laser shows) and many others "huge" thing.

Patriotic leh...
