31 is near already. To put what my wife told me, there is no sign of celebration. That hit me a little bit.

First sign she gave was ask me to buy a small Malaysia flag and place it on my car roof, I declined, because I don’t want to have those sticky thing stick on my car paint. Then she went on and suggest to hang a big Malaysia flag on the balcony. I declined as well, because I don’t want to take the time for that, especially spending on a Malaysia flag (consider the economy and inflation here which affected me a little too). We all prefer to spend on outdoor fireplaces than a fabric that has no benefit at all.

Thnat remind me something though. I remember the day when I was having my vacation in Medan, and their independent days was near, there are a lot of people selling stuff related to Indonesia and those flag and handmade little stuff to hang in the car. Her father bought one directly and hang it in the car – look nice – and proud.

That, is something I don’t see in Malaysia among my circle of friends. How about you? Did you hang a Malaysia flag later?
