The Merdeka Spirit Online is finally up. Beginning my first blogging post with the spirit of Merdeka certainly makes me feel proud of being a Malaysian. The Merdeka Blogger Project is certainly a great idea to promote patriotism amongst Malaysian who wished to express their Spirit of Merdeka messages but just don't know where to start.

Bloggers will have to register their site and post an entry in line with the theme, in any language they like. In expectation of the many blog posts that will discuss Merdeka Day, Foo and two friends will work overtime come Aug 31.

HAPPY 48TH BIRTHDAY, MALAYSIA. MAY GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY.
