Short Merdeka Countdown Update


Here are some photos from the Youth Jam Merdeka Countdown that was held at Penang Times Square on (you've guessed it) Merdeka Eve, 30th August 2010.




We took a bus there and reached shortly after a couple of traffic crawl ups.


After a brief discussion, we took dinner and headed to the main stage where a variety of performances were held. To be honest, I was not quite a fan of most upstage happenings. However, for me to elaborate will require another blog posting and a lot of arguments. I guess you could consider it a rather sensitive topic. Hint: maybe we should try to look beneath all stage performances and try to figure out the reasons behind it (whether obvious or not).




But I digress. After a whole load of performances, it was time for the countdown. Us students took part in it. However, before we could actually complete the "show", the countdown started, and that by 5 to 6 minutes too early. I guess some people just got too excited. 

Well, all in all, I had a great and certainly very interesting pre-Merdeka celebration, if you would call it one.

A happy belated Raya, by the way.
