you can, we can

hari angkawasan (astronaut day) on 10 october??
yea or nae?
it is a day worth remembering but officially declaring it?
we have hari pahlawan (warrior day) to commemorate the sacrifices made by our unsung heroes in our fight to independence.
and more and more 'days' have been coming up.
world environment day. friendship day. blog action day.
what are we going to celebrate on hari angkasawan? every year on that day, remembering that our angkasawan took off to the orbit? and gaze with teary eyes how memorable and honourable it is for such a small country to achieve such a big feat??
are we going to buy a that space rocket that he blasted off in to put in the museum? yeah, we have that same model car that tunku rode into the stadium in 57 specially seeked and brought in with a big lump sum of money. but is it necessary?? man, it is not even 'that car'. why all the money dumped in?
can't our money be put to better use? can't we look ahead every year during our national day celebration instead of looking back and counting the struggles we had had? why can't we have some action plans to map out development for the country spread out during that time? shouldn't we plan for the future and stop reminiscing the past?
why am i touchy all of a sudden?
maybe because i am sick of being reminded of the past every national day non-stop and now they want to start another day so we are again reminded of that particular day every year from next year onwards.
