Pros and Cons of having an almost-Merdeka baby Hubby

My hubby's was born just short of a day from the nation celebrating it's 20th Independence Day! This is good as we usually manage to celebrate it together in view of the public holiday the next day. Bad as this time round, what with the mega celebrations the country was throwing for her 50th Independence Day,we'd to pre-pone his birthday do a day earlier to avoid getting caught up in all the traffic jam everywhere. And it was a blessing in disguise as we went to a jazz club (which we recently discovered after some friends recommended it to me) in the heart of KL- No Black Tie at Jalan Mesui, KL. The front door of the club was an unassuming wooden 'door' which looked like a wall! The jazz performances including the vocalist, pianist and saxophonist were out of this world!! Highly recommended if jazz is your cup of tea :)

Speaking of our country's 50th Independence Day, my father-in-law was very patriotic (as i do not recall seeing the Malaysian flag displayed at his house since i've known him - which is one decade plus!) and he proudly flew the flag at our house :) My hubby and I being avid amateur photographers and bloggers decided to take photos of 'Bendera Malaysia Berkibar-kibar di Angkasa' concept and spent 1/2 hour under the hot sun just to take that perfect picture. I ended up getting a bit of a natural blush in the cheeks after that!

This picture was snapped while we were out basking in the hot sun trying to take the Malaysian flag flying .If you notice and strain your eyes carefully there are 2 dots in the sky which are 2 helicopters flying pass for the Merdeka Day rehersal.In the background is another flag flying from a neighbour's house.
