start accepting, people!

Here we are now, us Malaysians with 53 years of freedom. We have this new concept thingy called 1 Malaysia but not many people actually believe in it. maybe that's because we don't actually potray this. 1 Malaysia is suppose to be about acceptance. acceptance among us multi racial people where one race embraces the other races without looking at their colour, language, tradition or belief so that we will be able to live with mutual respect for each other as a nation. we got our independence together as one so why are there people who still think that the other races were never a part of us being where we are today? we are are what we are today because we worked together not one race more and the other less. i don't know why there are some people who only cares about their race and look down on others. this is not your country alone. its ours. so why don't you just wake up and start behaving like how us malaysians are suppose to behave. with acceptance.


huh, lets just hope all this racism and kutuk-ing other races or religion stops because it's just well, very bastardlike and annoying. anyways, moving on to not so touchy matters umm merdeka walk. right. the walk was awesome. we walked around Klang with Jalur Gemilangs, singing patriotic songs and shouting "merdeka!" There were drivers who would honk their vehicles as loud as ever and wave at us. it was wonderful looking at the spirit us interactors and also some of us malaysians had. there were also some people who just passed us looking at us like we were freaks or something. like wth? thinking about it, i'm actually proud that i got to do something like this instead of just sitting at home lazying around doing nothing.


so after all the walking with our faces drenched with sweat and screaming the hell out of us, it was time for the performance! as usual, something just had to go wrong. we couldnt play our minus one so we had to sing without music oh and to make things worse, the mike system was kinda sucky. Luckily, scott borrowed a guitar from someone so he'll play while we sing but he did'nt know how to play the chorus. that's when it hit me that we were totally screwed. why? umm lets see, we only practised for more or less two hours, a day before we had to perform so we sometimes mixed up the words, no music and the audience probably won't be able to hear us cause we're not using a mike. great huh?


well we went up there anyway and sang. yeeaaa, the first part wasnt that great. oh who am i kidding, it was horrible! but lucikly after the rapping part and the final chorus parts, it was kinda okay. like not that bad. i think. i was just trying not to look at anyone and thinking to myself when i was singing. i was like, "uuu look at the grass, it's so green here and then look at nicole, beqah, and then thinking oh wow i'm embarrsing myself in front of a hot guy, great!" hahaha, yea all those things were in my mind when i was singing. well, i'm just glad that's over and note to self: never ever in your freaking mind do something like that again!


you're amazing just the way you are <3
