merdeka day and puasa

today... finally... its all OVER!

for Mr. Hubby. no more late nights... and super-early morning...

today was the finale... grand finale of some sort..

today.. his car worked for our beloved DPM aka Dato' Seri Najib to drive from the "HQ" aka Bank Negara to the podium this morning for Merdeka Day celebration.. im sure not many would have noticed... in fact i think no one noticed except for me and my sister who was there at Dataran Merdeka... that Mr. Hubby was quietly waiting at the podium to take over the car after DPM arrived. His car... the car that he has been working on since my birthday... "e-Savvy", and 'e' which stands for electric... so electric Savvy... yes an electric car.

Our PM drove drove the "e-Persona"...

But i believe it was all worth the effort considering that "e-Savvy" was initial the back for the "e-Persona"... and that at the end of it all... it was part of the program for the Merdeka celebration. I'm proud of Mr. Hubby... he didnt give up when things turned pretty bad during the past weeks... he persevered and brought the car to "live".. FYI, the car was ensembled manually from scratch... and i dont mean the aesthetic value of the car but the wiring and engine since its an electric car.. very proud of him!

Being the wife, I showed him support albeit a little nagging and whining... i mean if your husband were coming back at 2a.m almost every night, you would whine a little, right???... pls bear in mind that we have only been for 7 months married.. heheh.

so this morning, I woke up at 6.15am when i should have woken at 6am so that i could be at Dataran Merdeka by 7am... which of course didnt happen. After picking up my siblings, we arrived at 7.30am. The place was packed... but we managed to wiggle our way through to a fairly strategic place where i could see Mr. Hubby was waiting at the podium but... he was as big as a red ant.. semut yg besar tu... yup... haiyah.. but i managed to take some photo of him there at the podium and had to get my sister to get photos of himwhen he took over the car from DPM, since im such a shorty... It all took like 1 to 2 minutes.. hhmmm.. but it was all good.

i managed to get a lot of photos of the parade after wiggling my way here and there, after getting halau-ed and shoo-ed and "tolong kebelakang cik, tolong kebelakang cik.." to which i finally ending up getting a spot on the tarmac itself where if i really really reached out, i could have touched the legs of people marching by.. well.. almost touching... but i was that close...

so that was that... we're home... Mr. Hubby is napping.. he was up since 4am. he slept at 1.30am. kesian die... and me blogging. photos are still in the camera... i will try to upload it as soon as Mr. Hubby uploads it which i think will take a while. sorry...

tomorrow is the start of a new month... a month of redeeming oneself and practicing a whole lot of patience... good luck!

SELAMAT BERPUASA TO ALL MY MUSLIMS FRIENDS!!
