September 16th, not just another day

One may argue that everyday is not just another day. I truly agree. But which is memorable? Will today be memorable? Well, we have another 6 hours to go. It may or may not happen. I'm not holding my breath. I'm already not expect it to happen anytime soon. All i'm willing to believe is that the day will come. The day the 50 over years of tyranny will end (actually, it may not be 50 plus years, it may be much shorter than that cause the ppl became more tyrannical over the recent decades) .

Yesterday, was an extra special night for the supporters of the "govt-in-waiting" in Kelana Jaya Stadium. It was part Malaysia Day celebration, part declaration for a change. I bet when they sang the "Negaraku" most of the people there never sang it with more passion than they have ever done in their life. And i bet that showed how much they loved their country, despite its ups and downs, mismanagements, and more often, misquotes. Yet, all who converged there yesterday night were there to show that the new generation of people are looking beyond racial lines. Its about time we deleted the Kaum and Agama Column in all sorts of application forms. We are all Malaysians, and that is how we want it to be seen.

Anyways, moving on, I think its going to be an interesting few weeks ahead for all Malaysians. Regardless of whether we are active participants or not, any of the developments will definitely affect us. I'll just wait eagerly in anticipation... (Oh, btw, most news website are almost inaccessible due to high levels of traffic. Looks like there are lots of eager beavers like me ;-)


Boodyboy, Out!!
