Are you in the mood to celebrate???

The 52nd anniversary of our country's independence will soon be upon us and I am wondering whether anyone of uscitizens is in the mood to celebrate. As of now, I have still yet to see any flags hung from pirvate homes or buildings. Even cars do not fly the flag anymore. Could this be the result of Teoh Beng Hock's deatch, an inquest on him that is going no where, Choi Soi Lek kena tendang from the party, Ong Tee Keat allegedly collected RM10m from the fella Ting, UMNO lost Permatang Pasir (hey, what am I talking about. This is supposed to be good news), Michael Learn To Rock concert will face protest by those nitwits from PAS, beer selling will be curbed, Black Eyed Peas concert may also be called off, 71 deaths from H1N1, Samy Vellu still calling the shots in MIC, Khir Toyo's RM24m estate ignored by MACC, the PKFZ scandal has become full blown, PPP in-fighting, Koh Tsu Koon created homeless people, Gerakan is directionless, UMNO is still racist as ever if not worse than before, Kartika Sari Dewi Shurkarno is about to be whipped, a sacrilege in a Catholic church has been committed by two reporters from Al Islam and no action taken, Utusan Melayu is having a field day creating racial and religious tensions it deems fit, the overthrow of the PR state government in Perak and last, certainly not the least, the unrelentless arrests on PR leaders in Selangor for alleged corruption.

How to celebrate lah? I think I will sleep late on August 31. Maybe those extra hours will help me dream of the good old days gone by when Merdeka Day was as important as any Malaysian's birthday.
