Here in my home
I’m so sad right now! I just cried so much 
:( Sigh I’m the biggest crybaby in the world. Anyway why I was sad and emo was cause I saw this video:
It’s a collaboration between over 150 malaysian artistes, filmmakers, models, celebrities etc and they came up with a music video to send the message that we the rakyats are all united in our hearts T___T
I first saw this video a year ago but I forgot to put it here! So here it is. Even after a year, it still made me cry again =( I love it when Afdlin Shauki started singing, I love it when Awie came in and I especially love Pete Teo’s part! I’m actually his closet fan *shy. I’ve liked him since I first heard him back in 2004 cause his voice is really unique and soothing! (like zahid from disagree..whatever happened to them??)
(speaking of Disagree, let me tell you one story. When I was 16, I was a hardcore malaysian bands’ groupie. I went to this event and Disagree was there so I got very excited! Then I was interviewed by TV3 or something and all I said was: DISAGREE ROX!!!!! while waving their poster around…..=______= I went to school the next day and everyone wouldn’t stop making fun of me cause they saw me on national tv acting like a smitten groupie. For a few days, they would scream “disagree rox!!!” in a shrill voice whenever they saw me….haih)
Anyway seeing all these people made me feel so sos sosoososos sad! I don’t know why..am I the only one who felt sad after watching this? It’s so touching to see everyone working so hard together regardless of race, age or gender. Malaysia is home to so many talented people! If only I have a talent to contribute too sigh.
I think I’m going to rewatch this again and again today. Please post this video in your blog/spread the word around if you like it! It probably won’t reunite all of us right away..but we can always try.

awwwwwwwwww……so sad the clip…
I’ve seen that before too. Kinda sad la. Actually, even during Merdeka celebration when they have Msians coming together, I feel sad too. So touching. I love Msia.
Yeah. I love Malaysia, too. Not the government, though. Cheep up, it won’t be too long before you’re back to your roots again!
omg. i thought I am the only who would cry watching this video. =( IN fact i think most things related to patriotism makes me all teary-eyed and emo =(
omg. it’s my first time watching this.i love it!
thanx for posting it up here =)

The terrible government really is the only thing which irks me…
if i’m not mistaken it’s released before last year March’08 general election..
LOL DISAGREE ROX!!

T_T I miss Malaysia. I love Malaysia. I am always proud of the fact that Malaysia is a very united country.

Sorry, forgot to add great post! Can’t wait to see your next post!
I cried too the first, well second, okay a few times i saw this clip. i still get goosebumps every time i play the song. some cynics think that this whole goobledygook is just another pretentious bullshit to put up a false united front and in the process sell our local artistes. WTF. despite all her shortcomings, i still don’t see how i can make or call anywhere else my home. that thought is so foreign, really. it puzzles me how i feel malaysia is the safest haven i can find and i don’t care how green the grass is on the other side, i can envisage how vulnerable it is to stay in the greener foreign land.
there are many things we don’t like in this country. there are also many things that we can’t change not because we can’t be arsed to do anything but circumstances and social conditions do not permit. but then again, we can eventually come to terms with things, not just blatantly swallow injustice, racism and whatnots but come to a consensus with people regardless of their race (well, race being the most critical social issue in the recent years and these days T_T) because one day, the old racist farts will die off wtf and i believe people in our generation and possibly the future ones don’t find racial disharmony so enticing anymore. i honestly don’t feel the segregation among people in my generation, probably cos we never get to experience the effect of racial wars. it’s like the racial disharmony graph has been volatile but hasn’t reach its breaking point just yet. however i do feel that if those idiots don’t stop testing the water and the patience of many people, it’s really going to be acase of the straw tht broke the camel’s back.
anyway, my sister thinks tht i am too much of an idealist and i’ll find whatever bullshit i believe in, a total deluded falsity that i con myself into believing when i join the workforce. discrimination, racism, TAXES WTF. but like i said, these things are inevitable but not final and eventual. and despite all of malaysia’s shortcomings, there is nowhere i’ll find more than this umbrella of a country so proofed that i actually feel safe getting those protection we all seek for these day but in actual effect, where exactly is safe anymore :/
i know whatever i said may come off as blind patriotism but i always believed in the many things that has been done for us thus far, it will bear the fruit that is unity one day. difficult but not impossible. and i do see the good in people *wishful thinking wtf*. but yes la suet tht is one hell of a clip. oh if yasmin ahmad’s “talentime” ever comes out on dvd you HAVE to watch. it is tres sad
damn ncie la the kinda show you’ll love watching cos it’s SO malaysian haha.
i really hope many years down the road, i won’t weep in the face of what i used to believe in. i hate to be proven wrong but at the time being, i don’t mind feeding myself with delusion. i won’t and hope that i will not fled the country for the alleged greener pastures. i hope some day i can tell those who left in hopes for a better country that it was them who were deluded. a friend who’s studying in london once told me, “sigh london has everything. i can’t imagine coming back to malaysia anymore. cos malaysia is so, urgh. london IS everything.” i hope i live long enough to see them crawling back here or see them suffer incomprehensible and ridiculous high tax rates or something more common like racism in the real world. of course, they don’t mind being called bloody asians *sniggers*. I just find their apathetic attitude not palpable at all. like u just want to shake them like a bottle of salt and ask are you fucking kidding me haha.
okay wow too long tht’s all kthxbye. oh ya suet u always amaze me at how patriotic you are. and i am a total local bands groupie too hahah tepuk skit! what is there not to like about them! except for those buta menjerit kind la yang tu mmg memekak dan menyampah sangat.
spot on. loved your comment =)
sounds like you need a trip back to msia again this summer.. better get your tickets early. i am sure your family and friends would be very happy to see you.
sigh, i found this video again recently when we were preparing for our malaysian night not too long ago. where i am currently there’s a malaysian society and a malay society which is shit like anything because its so damn racist to do that. if there’s a malay society then there might be an indian society and chinese society and dusun and kadazan and melanau wtf never ending… and it was sooo difficult to get those from the malay society to come for our malaysian night. rlly dun understand the mentality. we were all so frus at that time, and watching this video made me tear up that time.. lets hope together that one day it wud b possible! /hold hands
air, i think the song you meant is “Crumbs”
LOL u’re so cute xD
hi Suet.
this is the 1st time i commented after reading your blog for sooooo long.
i am a Malaysian too currently studying in Australia now. i cried and cried so hard while rewatching this video clip for so many times. but then when i was in Malaysia few months ago, listening to this song didn’t even make me felt oh-so-patriotic. i think only those Malaysians in foreign countries will feel like how we did. i miss my home. so sad. =(
eh i dont know why i get goosebumps everytime listening to this song. why ah? @.@
no, even those staying put in msia could have felt exactly like how you did. patriotism sees no geographical boundaries. it doesn’t matter if you are thousands of miles away missing home or is in fact in that country, it’s just the kind of love that is personal to all of us. i know some people just want to get the hell out of this country due to all the political, social and religious fracas and seek for a better government elsewhere, but deep down our sense of belonging is rooted here and no one has to know (if one is one of those people who doesn’t want to appear to be enthusiastic abt cliched things like patriotism haha). you may not even have demonstrate such love overtly but inside, we love every fraction of where we came from, all the same

Aww I love the bit when all the four languages come together. It makes me miss Malaysia but then I know it’s not all that they say there’s more complications right. It makes me a bit sad, for a while now I’ve been thinking, where is my home actually? Malaysia, though I can’t relate to it anymore, I dont know anything that goes on there but it’s where I grew up. Here, though it seems my heart is elsewhere or Japan. Complicatedddd ah maybe the World can have a bit of me everywhere <3
