Independence Day...

Yesterday, the 51st Malaysian Independence Day was celebrated in the new Petronas Complex compound in Khartoum. Even though the ceremony was simple, but it gives the Malaysian community something to remember for years to come. The ceremony was attended by the Malaysian Ambassador to Sudan and other Malaysians currently stationed in Khartoum.

In one of the speeches, it was mentioned that Petronas first came to Sudan in 1997. It has been 11 years and the Petronas Complex reflected the success of its venture. It is indeed an accomplishment that any Malaysian could be proud of.

Aliah was involved as a traditional dancer. She was so excited because she likes dancing, plus the fact that she's going to make new friends. They didn't have a lot of practice, less than a week in fact. So the little kids made a lot of mistakes but I salute the coordinators because it still looked very colourful. Look at the pictures below...

Waiting in excitement...

Trying her very best!

Mistakes here and there...

Aren't they colourful?

Amir and Aliah

Aliah looks so sweet n cute! the kids had lots of fun i guess. here in malaysia somehow, it was not that happening as usual. no many jalur gemilang can be seen along the road and at other places too as if the spirit of merdeka isn't in the air.
I thought i have no time to check your blog. Now, i think i get hooked to your writing. so,while students explore language software in university lab, it's not sinful to make use of my "most boring" time to savour your writing eh..he..he..he.

Dear Mie,

I think you should write your own blog. I first got hooked to my friend's blog... an english teacher... hehehe... Now, I'm addicted to writing as well... And it's up to you what you want to write about, it's just your own self-expression and a way to share your life with family and friends... Try it... an entry could be as short or as long as you wish... Amacam?
