Lazy NO Cure

A memorable day..

1st time celebrating Hari Kemerdekaan in a foreign country...
1st time realise that actually I would like to celebrate this special event too, if i could be at home...
1st time hope that I can listen Negaraku in tv1 or tv2...

就算再埋怨, 再不爽, 再不喜欢, 再骂,
她依然是我的国家, 依然是我长大的地方, 依然有我最最最想念的家......

埋怨她的治安, 但同时庆幸没有暴乱;
埋怨她的制度, 但同时庆幸没有战争;
埋怨她政治的不公平, 但庆幸生活仍然无忧;

is it that we will never appreciate things that are in our hand?
just as we never enjoy celebrating Independence Day back at home,
but now every Malaysian friend that is in oversea wish our very motherland a Happy Birthday;

just as we always thought Hari Merdeka as a public holiday and that's all.
but now we appreciate it more even though it's not a public holiday in Australia or any part in the world;

just as how we miss our home in Malaysia during this very special day now
when last time we think each and every reason that helps us to run away from the celebrations..

No matter how we dislike or blame or scold about Her,
she is still our homeland!
a place we grow up,
a place with our families, our friends,
with the most delicious food and
most unforgettable memories...


Happy Birthday Malaysia!
Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan!


countdown: 11 weeks and 2 days to go....

This is a very late post...regarding Ekka. What is Ekka? Honestly, i don't know what is Ekka when i went there, i just know that there will be many stalls selling different things and it is a very famous festival in Brisbane. So, of course i won't miss it!

Ekka, formal title would be Royal Queensland Show (which i think if u mention this, no one in Brisbane know what are u mentioning...) and is an annual Queensland show. Initially it is named as Brisbane Exhibition, but due to the laziness..oops, i mean culture of shortening English words, Exhibition become Ekka.

*我跟你讲, 澳洲真的很懒的啦~ 什么字都把它给缩短...举例来说, afternoon 变成 arvo , breakfast 变成 breaky, 所以理所当然的, exhibition 就变成 ekka lo!*

ok, 简单来说呢, 这从一开始是要向别人展示自家的agriculture product 和多么先进的新仪器, 然后再炫耀一下自家的牛羊马长的多么地健康....到了现在, 虽然仍然保有动物展览, 人们去的目的却不再是看牛羊了...由于每年进场的人数都在增加, 主办当局其实不停地在增加吸引人群的事物, 例如多了可以玩游戏赢公仔的stalls, 由赞助商赞助并以较低价出售的货品 (eg: cadbury, sweets, dolls, magazines, foods...), 以及各种不同类型地食物档.....真是眼花缭乱啊!!
(像在写小学作文酱....)

无论如何, 反正当天早上, 我们就从 city 搭巴士到现场, 然后走了一整天, 回家时, 脚都就快要断了...
好吧,再怎么累, 照片还是不会少, 慢慢过目吧! 我懒惰形容了..hehe.

shuttle bus to Ekka

入口处

if i remember correctly, his name is Romeo.
and he is definitely not meant for us, he is there to entertain children...

现场示范牧羊狗赶羊入围栏
那些狗真的很灵活,
后来才知道那是一场比赛, 谁家的狗在最短的时间完成任务, 谁家就赢了!
