As morning draws , the clouds are shady , the sun is unseen , a perfect day to conduct outdoor activities . Brushing my teeth , getting dress and followed by taking my breakfast , it's time to head for my destination , Dataran Merdeka .
Even though the exact Fedaral Territory Day is on Feb 1 , the government decided to held the celebration on both saturday & sunday so that citizens with their families are able to not just take part but also to enjoy this experience . I too had never witness such celebration before , together with my group members Arrica & Zi Wen to snap pictures for our assignments .
Taking the usual routine , I arrived half and hour later and waited for the rest at Mc'D . According to source , Our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and other representing bodies had up to 8000 members already . This include the government sector , bank , schools and so on . Hence we were expecting a huge crowd .
At sight , flags are hanged all over , there are stations through out the entire areas , the whole road was fully occupied . Next are the marching squats , not just one or two but several. Even though I know not much about what group they are representing , but one thing I know they practice a lot . The teamwork , the effort they put in , the timing of their steps , their strength in carrying heavy instruments , everything is shown in their performances .
Unfortunately we miss the parade which is shown much earlier , luckily for us there are still several events being carried out . Not to mention , there are fireworks at night which we are not able to stayed to witness . We then headed to the sector where most people are gathering . It seem that the there are dance competitions coming right up and there are BMX competition as well .
As teams are signing up , people are drawn towards teams that are warming up , getting used to the stage . The music were pumping real loud , it too play a role for drawing everyone attentions . Then there was the bike competition , where most I would say teenagers are hanging around with their bikes , taking turns to present their skills of the ( ) .
While waiting for competitions to start , the weather is getting scorcher , our hairs are as if on fire . Hence we went to stalls selling food nearby , to get some refreshments . A variety of foods were sold there , and ice creams were our choice after inspecting through all the stalls .
It almost pass 1:00 pm yet neither competitions are starting even though they are suppose to start at 12 . As we thought there are nothing left to be seen , we found a section where arts , creativity , talents are the focus . A showcase of various art works like singing , drawings , handwork are all to be found here . A colourful and inspiring area indeed .
We conclude our work for the day as we finishes this section . Information and pictures are taken , new knowledge had been learnt and experienced . All is left now is to organize and present everything in report to be handed over . And this too is part of it . Thank You .
