floats to fireworks. happy 50th!

years and years ago, i remember waking up early.
i remember first switching on the tv and, not comprehending the prime minister's speech, running off to look for breakfast.
then i'd come back in time to catch the float parade. 'how many flowers did they use to make all that?' i'd ask in wide-eyed wonder. the answer was never numerical, only simple and enough to satisfy a mind that was asking but not quite so curious as much as in awe.

well, i haven't revelled in the wonder of a merdeka float parade in years.
growing up in our nation has me staring at more gray area that i never thought of before. reasons to stay include knowing i can make it here simply because the industry is lacking.
but! nations's birthday as it is today, let's not dwell on what's less beautiful, shall we?;)

this year, they finally acknowledged our beautiful tradition of fireworks...
instead of sweeping it under the carpet, they held a fireworks competition. :)
no, i was not there at the actual event to witness it. no, i don't really know much about it...
but i do know that i got the best seats for two last night to witness the usual serenity of the night lit by flamboyent showers of sparks.
i enjoyed every moment of it.
shared sights make moments so much more beautiful.. :)
thank my nation for the peace it still holds thus, for being able to provide such memories..
and thank God for everything else.
Happy Merdeka!

*deep breath, blow* ACHOO!

so, it's been a long long hiatus from this blog. it's convenient to keep the account alive though considering how many others keep blogspot blogs... ^^

oh, and guess what? to mark my comeback, this post is going to continue right off from the last one..that's right folks, i "upgraded" my windows media player again! this time on my laptop. grrrr! i know the drill, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..yadda yadda..hmph! but just as a reminder to my future self should i ever in a sleepy stupor click that darned 'update' button again, media player 11 rollbacks when you try to uninstall the entire windows media player from the 'add remove programs' place. yeah, just so you know. -_-"

i'm now contemplating if i should change the title of this blog.
you see, all this while i've been 'gone', i've really been more err...active on my friendster blog simply because i entertain myself updating it with nonsense when i log into friendster during in uni. but now i've become very fond of its title while still not willing to let go off this one. though it would be easier for those like Cerlyn and Essie-chan who've linked me as '-leftovers of the day-' hmm...
well then, it's on this note that i shall reopen this blog and welcome my "readership" from the friendster blog, ne? ^^;
since you guys asked for it, help me think! should i switch titles?
