Merdeka = M'sia Boleh ??

Throughout the years, its as if no one cared about the country's Independence until it arrived years after years.
And when Independence Day a.k.a Merdeka is just around the corner, what do M'sians do?

Top 5 things M'sians do before and during Independence day:
~ Students in primary school colour and wave their D.I.Y little flags (Lolz..what's the use of doing this? Wasting paper?) - Local
~ Residents hang up hell loads of Jalur Gemilang in their housing area (Replaced every year for what?) - Local
~ M'sians convinced themselves that they love the country by saying Malaysia Boleh (Do you speak from you true heart?) - National
~ Tv commercials regarding how our ex-leaders put in effort to gain the country's independece (Do we really appreciate that huh?) - National
~ Newspapers insist on publishing decades-back news and even this year, newpapers from 1957 - Local&National

And seeing of all the hard work, we, sometimes ask ourselves, are we really proud with the country's achievements?

M'sians are proud of - Our filming & entertainment industry:
~ Local movies (Pontianal 1&2are the ones that made it quite internationally, coz that's what most of us heard of..duh!)
~ Local TV series (Yea we have a lot of these..but which 1 of them made it into other countries huh?)
~ Local film celebrities (Datuk Michelle Yeoh, well you really made us proud but..do you gain success in your own counrty?)
~ Local chinese singers eg. Penny, Fish (Hey..they are not even in our country now)

M'sians are proud of - Our tourism industry:
~ Petronas Twin Tower (Once upon a time, it was the tallest builing in the world)
~ Eye On M'sia (Newly built for TMM 2007, yet still way far behind other countries)
~ Sabah&Sarawak (Well-preserved but soon to be polluted, so appreciated it when it's still there!!)

M'sians are proud of - Our Tradition
~ The way we speak (Constantly added with the word 'lah' or 'ma' or 'lo')
~ The way we dress (Traditional clothes are thrown away, replaced by Western-style clothing line..such as Roxy)
~ They way we live peacefully with other races (Yeah right..than whats the Negarakuku thing for?)

M'sians are proud of - How othe M'sians succeed in their career:
~ Jimmy Choo (Nevertheless, he's from Penang, and famous for world wide...)
~ All mentioned above..none of them are in M'sia now)
~ For more successful stories of those do not strive in our own country, catch 'Wing of Pride' in 8tv, Sunday 6.30pm

Well, i must say that I may be critisizing a lot in this blog, but at least I'm speaking form my true heart. Hope I'm not offending anyone though.
Last but not least, one thing all M'sians share, one thing that made us proud of the country, one thing that changes the perception of other countries towards us..

Top 5 food in M'sia that EVERYONE is proud of:
~ Laksa (Originated form Penang, famous for its rich thick soup seasoned with spices)
~ Char Kuih Teow (From Penang again, people love it for its fresh juicy prawns with the hot yet spicy taste of the noodles)
~ Nasi Lemak (All of us love it isnt it? Its suitable for any meals in a day)
~ Sate (One can just eat nonstop. Taste so great with creamy peanut sauce with ketupat. Yumyum!)
~ Nasi Kandar (Available anywhere in M'sia..smells nice, taste superb!!)

I'M PROUD OF OUR FOOD!!
