It is a brand new Monday morning. My better half just text-messaged me that she would be spending this pretty sunny day shopping and lepak in malls, eventhough she has a test today, because she was not well-prepared for it.

We can’t blame her, how can we ? It’s holiday mood now. Yes, Persekutuan Tanah Melayu’s 48th big day is approaching. Come this Wednesday in Boulevard Putrajaya, 32,825 dudes clad in colourful hillarious custome, either marching like monkeys or riding floats, will take part in the biggest ever NDP in the country in terms of participants so far.

Also in the pipeline is a National Day Interview which all of you are invited to take part in. It aims to establish a platform where Malaysians of all walks of life may exchange and share opinions on independence and independe-related issues. Copies of it has been e-mailed to some bloggers and Keadilan leaders but those who didn’t received it are encouraged to participate too. Please send your reply to preferably by National Day, Aug 31 or latest by 16 Sept 2005, the day Malaysia turns 42.
