Happy birthday Malaysia, .... and Alvin.
Today, of course, is Merdeka day. I found out from my facebook that the celebration is muted this year. Don't know why. There is hardly anything here, except the freshness of our memory, and our mutual reminder inside the family that kept this day Merdeka Day.
My brother's birthday is a day after Merdeka Day. We gathered yesterday over dinner to celebrate his and his wife's birthdays - the two birthdays are days apart.
We have had a good time together. The food was glorious, especially the dessert. For once, the topic of conversation did not quite touch on Malaysian politics.
It still hurts to read many news about Malaysia, sometimes. We may not physically be at home, but home is still pretty much within us.
My birthday wish for my brother and sister-in-law is that they can quickly find their dream house that they can afford.
My birthday wish for Malaysia is that she will be healed, made whole, and once again, ce
lebrate the wealth, richness and strength of her diversity, in tolerance and harmony.Happy birthday, Alvin.
Happy birthday, Malaysia.
