Merdeka

Malaysia celebrated its 50th birthday yesterday. When I was back in Malaysia, independence day was no big deal for me. Its only significance was that we get an extra day of holiday. In addition, our school will try to instill that Malaysian spirit in us by getting us to decorate our classrooms, repaint the walls and what not. Hm...come to think of it, maybe thats an excuse to use us as free labour? heh.

Anyway, its only this year that I've come to understand the significance of independence. I think I'm starting to miss Malaysia a little.

Here are some videos. The first one is a video of our 1st independence day 50 years ago (1957)



Saya Anak Malaysia - Petronas Merdeka Ad 4 2007

Petronas always produce the best ads



Another independence day ad produced by Petronas




Okay, these ads have nothing to do with independence. This is just to give you a taste of Malaysian humour. haha, pretty lame stuff. But its funny at the same time.

Malaysian idol ad - security guards. Everybody wants to be the Malaysian idol



Malaysian idol ad - milk man vs roti man. For those who are not familiar with the Malay language, "susu" means milk and "roti" means bread.



okay, last one....I promise!
