Counting Down the Days

When England officially lowered its flag in Kuala Lumpur on August 31, 1957, the Tunku lead the crowd in rejoicing "MERDEKA!" The image of Tunku raising his hand, and his emotional but determined voice leading the cheers is arguably the most featured Merdeka icon until today, and have become a nostalgic reminder of the momentous event.

Momentous.

Do you know how that feels like? Sometimes I think that I do.

But I know it'll never come close.

-- Any Merdeka babies out there??
