31 Ogos


The above was taken at 8tv Quickie's Raya Carnival which has got to be one of my most embarrassing moments to date! I had to answer a few simple questions Merdeka related then as a penalty for getting one question wrong (FYI Najib is our 6th Prime Minister NOT the 5th!) I had to sing 31 Ogos by the legendary Sudirman. Luckily I managed to rope in a few more people to sing along with me (including Imran - the guy with the sunnies on the left - whose fault it was I had to do the whole thing in the first place! Oh, and Maryam who is the organiser of Bijou Bazaar sportingly joined in too). If you happen to catch this episode on Quickie & it doesn't get edited out (oh dear God please get edited out), do accept my heartfelt apologies for totally killing Sudirman's patriotic lyrics although the others were really into it! Haha.

Anyways, hope you all have a safe night tonight celebrating our nation's 52nd year of independence & just in case you want some something to patriotic to sing at the stroke of midnight tonight, here are the lyrics to the song.

31 Ogos by Sudirman

Tanggal 31
Bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Merdeka ! Merdeka !
Tetaplah merdeka
Ia pasti menjadi sejarah

Tanggal 31
Bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Hari yang mulia
Hari bahagia
Sambut dengan jiwa yang merdeka

Mari kita seluruh warga negara
Ramai-ramai menyambut hari merdeka
Merdeka !
Tiga satu bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh
Hari mulia negaraku merdeka

Merdeka !
Merdeka !
Merdeka !
