Wooo, it's the 52nd Merdeka [Independence Day] tomorrow, on 31st Aug, 2009. Where has all the time go? I know, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I have spent the past 100 +/- days nursing Snoopy. While he is not getting from bad to worse, he isn't showing any signs of recovering and from that I mean regaining his ability to walk. Tough, life is tough, for the patient and his caregiver as well.
A friend posed a question to me just now. He said that if Malaysia was a human, she would be 52 years old already. And while a 52 year old country is quite mature, he asked if the citizens of Malaysia have a mature mentality. Or are we still really having a third world mentality like we are always accused of having?
In any case, this Merdeka will be a low key affair as we are besieged with the A(H1N1) threat. WHO said that Malaysians are not aware of the severity of A(H1N1) and are still taking the flu virus lightly. In view of this, we should avoid crowded places, particularly Merdeka countdown crowds and Merdeka sales at shopping malls. I know I definitely would stay away, even if I did not have to care for Snoopy.
