Whoever that claimed that those taking part in the Merdeka Parade has a high sense of patriotism might be right... It is not easy to rehearse for weeks ahead, to wake up extremely early on the very day, to wait for hours until one actually get his or her chance of 5 seconds-on-TV fame. Of course, all of them would get their allowance, free breakfast, chances to meet new people from other organizations, chances to make new friends, chances to laugh at other people's blunders or antics before, during and right after the procession...
Still, after forgotting to put on some sunblock lotion prior to joining the Merdeka Parade on behalf of my office, wearing silly costume (navy blue track suit with black a'la cowboy hat and white sneakers) under scorching hot sun in Shah Alam on 31st August 2000, I have no intention to repeat proclaiming my patriotism spirit through taking part in such procession again. Ever.
Happy Merdeka my fellow Malaysians :-)
