Merry Merdeka
For the first time ever, a Merdeka mass was celebrated at St. Ignatius Church. Parishioners were encouraged to dress up in traditional costumes. Mum dug out her baju kurung, while I went with a red top I bought for CNY. The East Malaysian parishioners were the most impressive. The church was decorated with the Jalur Gemilang, and mini flags were distributed to everyone (surprisingly provided by the town council). Before mass began, there was flag raising ceremony with everyone singing the national anthem.
Was supposed to have a double date with Terrance and Phillip at Palilos, but Phillip caught a stomach bug, and FFK-ed us. Already our second time there, don't think will be going back again. Expensive, slow, and hard to book. Not very satisfied with dinner, we made a stop at Super Boring Club just a few doors away. The 3-for-2 cocktail offer called to us (not like we didn't have sake earlier), and we had a plate of grilled kimchi octopus, and Korean garlic fried chicken to go with it. Not bad for a Merdeka night date.
