Mamarazzi google about Independence Day parade the night before but there was not much information about that. Not sure of the time and venue but "agak-agak" know the location since the night before we pass by the stage.
It was hard to wake up the next morning. Initially Mamarazzi said aiya just sleep la. But then she saw from our hotel room window, there were many people going to the parade...okay la...woke me up lo. Papa slept in while Mamarazzi and me went and find the parade.
Oh boy.....am so excited
Look see look see....saw some people walking to another direction. Aiks...we waited at the wrong place leh.
Come!
Follow me! It's this way.
Finally found the correct place. Sat quite opposite to the stage where the King/Sultan going to appear.
Pretty soon , the Sultan of Perak arrived.
The inspection of the Royal Guards begins.
So nice to see them marching by in their full glory.
Our boys and girls in their uniform
wah...got bicycle wor.....I wanna join the parade too la...can ah?
after like two hours, the parade ended. But Mamarazzi insisted to snap some photos along the road.
Wefie
Merdeka! My first time watching a parade.
Wahhhhh!!!! So patriotic lah you!!! I would just watch on tv, no need to be sweating till I looked like I just fell into the swimming pool or something.
ReplyDeleteAiyo...must turun padang baru syok mah
DeleteVery lau juak, eh. I've never been to a parade. All this while only watch it on TV.
ReplyDeleteLol.....it was fun
Deletewah, Hari Kebangsaan ah?? where did Uncle SK go that day ah?? hmmm, resting at home maybe after two days of "cleaning activities" kot, hehehehe.. Paparazzi and Mamarazzi brought Small Kucing to Ipoh ke?? aiyoh, so long already, Uncle SK also cannot remember leh..
ReplyDeleteLol...tu la basi punya post.
Deletehehehe, Paparazzi so lazy ah, slept in while Mamarazzi brought Small Kucing to hunt for the parade.. yalah, last time Uncle SK also woke up very early in the morning on Hari Kebangsaan to watch live telecast of the parade, but then of course cannot remember since when he never does that anymore lah.. better like Paparazzi, sleep in to "recharge" better lah, hehe~~
ReplyDeleteCoz Papa had to work that morning lo
DeleteUncle SK also never seen a real parade before, the most watch from TV only.. so actually a nice experience being able to see the parade in another state huh?? maybe the locals already know the whereabouts, so as soon as the parade started, they all rushed in to get the best view.. smart Mamarazzi decided to leave and walked to the end of the road.. even better view right??
ReplyDeleteLast time mamarazzi's school jojn in the parade leh. But she was not selected to go
Delete3 months before punyer post ahh, wah, mamarazzi still remember hor.. Merdeka Day I remembered macam got haze or rain, no go anywhere, stay home only leh..
ReplyDeleteHence have to post up as a record before forget lo
Deletecan see Small Kucing so excited that day woh.. because in normal days, if not enough sleep he will get very grumpy.. but that day, woke up early, run here and there for the parade, he was also still very energetic and pose happily for photos leh.. hehehe!! somemore wanna become tour guide hor?? :p

ReplyDeleteWas very excited that morning
DeleteThis reminds me last time in my secondary school, my school got selected to performed in the pervade, it was fun and tired, indeed we didn't get excepted, after practice, we still have to back to school and study.
ReplyDeleteparades are fun
ReplyDeleteActually I never watched Merdeka parades before as an observer on the road... believe it or not.. but I have participated in them a number of times in my 30ssss... waking up super early and waiting at the padang is no joke.. so that explains why I skip watching them yearly... hahhahaa...
ReplyDeleteGood idea lah, run to Ipoh to watch the parade. I watched the one in Dataran Merdeka (on TV lah), and was served with even more rude behavior from Hippomama... When they were leaving, she we behaving like she was greater than his husband and the Agong >.< ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy boy after watching his first parade. Now that reminds me of my childhood where there were only 2 parades that passed the main road near my home. It was the Wesak Day parade once a year and the Taoist Chinese Funerals that passed my road almost every week!!!!! Sobs!
ReplyDeleteThis Papa Kaldip so shiok to tidor nyenyak on the bed and Negara Ku alone. Muahahaha
ReplyDeleteLove parades like these too, but I dislike the standing part. Can be so tiring.........xoox
ReplyDeleteSmall Kucing is so excited to watch the Parade. Small Kucing, good thing Mamarazzi woke you up to go and find the parade. Mamarazzi is so strong to let you sit on her shoulders to try to see the parade. Luckily got a better idea to go further down the road to get a front view.
ReplyDeleteParades are always fun! Enjoyed your photos very much, thank you :)
ReplyDeletewow, you witnessed the parade. I didn't even bother at all. So near yet so far for me..
ReplyDeleteHeh looks like the boy had fun.
ReplyDeletegreat thing to do. always wanted to join the crowd for such grand day. i believed i have not done it yet till now, now i am motivated ;)
ReplyDeleteBrings back memories of my schooling years when compulsory to be there for such a patriotic event. Good exposure for the little one.
ReplyDeleteHow very happy for you! YAY! Parades are tons of fun!
