Merdeka! Eating! Talking! Hanging!

The Independence Day of Malaysia was celebrated on 31 August.


We, the Malaysians in Bangkok hardly feel the effect... there was no fireworks, no public holiday, its just like any normal day.


Coincidentally, a group of us Malaysians went out for lunch - not to celebrate "Hari Merdeka" but just to hang out, fellowship and of course, eat. The most favorite past time of Malaysians. What a way to celebrate Malaysia's Independence Day.... The Malaysian way.


My friend S told me about this buffet lunch which is on during summer holidays annually. Buy 1 free 1. So, we all went to Amari Atrium along Petchaburi road in Bangkok.


The place is great for parents and children. There are great and various activities catered especially for the children. They could cook pasta, make candy floss, build legos, eat dinosaur candies and a very delicious-every-child's-dream-chocolate-fountain with unlimited flow. Aaarrrggghhh!!! Would have been my ultimate dream - when I was a child. Not anymore. How sad.




Joel was totally exhilarated with the chocolate fountain. Look at that face. Pure joy! Background is Goolypop and Owen. My new blogger friend.


Ethaniel... Oops, I mean Winnie the Pooh



The men busily eating away ....

It was a good weekend because 3 bloggers hung out and met for the first time, Tang, Goolypop & me.

Wow, that's indeed a wonderful way to celebrate merdeka! Here in KL, I don't feel the effect either. Previously, we see lots of cars with malaysian flags on but now, we hardly see any.
