This is a Merdeka entry.
I don't know about you, but I kinda liked Joan Lau's piece about Merdeka. In the end, it's all about our own Merdeka struggles. And our own Merdeka moments. For me, it was when I quit my direct-selling job five years ago. I had survived for a week, peddling children's books and toys around KL. I kept telling myself: Just give it a try, and see if you like it. Obviously I disliked it. So, the day I quit, I called up my boss and told him I wanted out. I had no contract or anything. And my company could definitely function with one less worker around. I mean, they had several dozen people like me to work the streets of KL. That doesn't even include the newbies they hire every day. Once I put down the phone, I took the LRT to KLCC and watched Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. It was a crappy movie ( I actually slept through some parts), but I felt liberated because I had been too busy working to watch movies.
So that was one of my Merdeka moments. It was the best day!
HAPPY 50th Birthday, my beloved country!
MERDEKA!!!!
