Plans For National Day

Published by simon on August 20, 2006

National Day is in, like 10 days or so. Everybody is like getting excited over it. Me, I’m more excited in getting a public holiday. I’m as patriotic as the next guy, but I’m too overworked and tired over the past few weeks to think of anything else. Blame my lack of enthusiasm on my employers for overworking me.

How to tell National Day is coming:

Look at your table calendar. One of the days says ‘National Day’.
Taxis with 165 state and national flags stuck on the roof.
Wira-lutions on the road with flags draped on the front bonnet. Not advisable for cars with tendencies to overheating. Like mine.
Companies start advertising funny ‘Merdeka Sales’ to cash in because they think people associate our National Day with spending money and fueling the economy.
Bloggers start using the annually-used term “berbelog”.

So what am I going to do on that day? I dunno. Some of the bloggers are planning something for us to do on that day. I’d love to participate, let’s see what happens. Whether that takes off or not, I can safely tell you what I WILL be doing:

Stay up late on the night before for DVD marathon.
Wake up late on the day itself and eat whatever junk food I can find in the house for a nutritious breakfast.
Go for brunch.
Continue movie marathon. If I run out DVDs, Astro will have to do. But there’s nothing really good to watch on daytime Astro. But on that day I heard Animax is going live.
Sleep off the rest of the day.
Wake up, go jogging.
Bathe, dinner, then the usual stuff.

Also known as how to vegetate the whole of your public holiday off with unproductive stuff.
