Before I go into talking about Ismail in the following post. I just want to say a belated Happy Merdeka to everyone. This was the first time… in many many years or even at all for that matter – that i had actually celebrated this ‘joyous’ occasion… yeah I’m such a patriot aren’t I.

Anyway.. I don’t usually celebrate Independence Day and I never go out for it. However this year because I was performing in Ismail:The Last Days, some of the cast members and I decided to celebrate it within the grounds of KLPac right after our show.

And boy was it a fun time we had. As much as I dislike politics, what I am very grateful for in this country.. are the people I meet. And how despite us all being of different races and religions we can still come together as one, without any discrimination. Even if there were, this group i celebrated it with would probably just laugh in the face of racist mocking jokes. I find there is nothing funnier and more enjoyable than to laugh at the things a race has been stereotyped to be. Thinking Russell Peters here.

So how did we celebrate it? Pizza, chicken wings, chips and Ice Lemon Tea with Coke. Big big thank yous goes to the lovely couple Siti Farah and Aiman who were kind enough to order in the food. Along with mountains of laughs.

We were all doing our own thing and snapping shots of course – that was when we heard the sounds of fireworks. Trying to get a look at the fireworks, Tony and Aiman went scouting by standing on the footstool sized stones.

And that’s how it started with all of us wanting to do weird stuff. They found a strong sturdy trunk not long after and started ummm jumping while holding it.

Failure one..

They nearly didbut despite even siti covering for Tony… tak jadi (didn’t happen) lol. Idzam was standing there and couldn’t take it. so he showed us how it should be done.

Like that… now thats what you call team work

Then Min Li and Siti wanted to try… and this is what they got.. Mary Poppins hahaha

Then Me and Min Li decided to give ago at the flying trapeze

Take one.

Take Two.

And the final one, which is my absolute favourite favourite pic of the year I’d think.. is this super Streetfighter looking one hahah

Siti decided to join in on this one too hehhe.. We were trying emphasis on the trying of the Matrix Trinity pose.

So that was how Mereka was celebrated! Happy Merdeka again peeps.
