Merdeka and AMBP Top 5
Merdeka Spirit | Acrylic on Canvas (unfinished)
First of all, I would like to wish all Malaysians, a very Happy Merdeka Day. It’s great to be able to witness the 50 years of Malaysia’s independence celebration. The celebration was a blast and during the time, I was in front of the TV watching our Prime Minister making his speech and officiating the celebration, which was held at Dataran Merdeka, KL. My husband and son were watching the fireworks from outside our unit, from the lift hall, on the 13th floor here in Damansara. We wanted to go out but due to the major headache I was having, we decided to stay home.
A day before Merdeka Day, I was surprised and thrilled to receive an e-mail from The Star announcing that I have made it to the All Malaysian Bloggers Top 5 and won:
5 X Grand Prize for Bloggers
3D/2N stay in a Double Deluxe room + breakfast
@ Awana Genting Highlands for 2 persons
Cable Car Tickets for 2 persons
FLY Show Tickets (PS2 scale) for 2 persons
Genting All Park Tickets for 2 persons
Yay! With the help of all my lovely friends and voters, I get to stay in a 5-star hotel in Genting! A BIG THANK YOU to everybody who has voted for me!
I would like to extend my special thanks to my good friends who have put up posts for me to help me win:

Wow, Emila! Congratulations!!! I mentioned you in class the other day. We were discussing a story called Names and I told everyone how you were supposed to be named Amelia, but the person spelled it “E-M-I-L-A”. Tonight, I’m having a sleepover with my best friends and they think you are a very talented artist ( and I completely agree)! They also think Yassin is adorable ( which I agree with too)! Have fun!!!
Mariuca
