For my entry into this week Sunday Scribblings, I’m writing about my Merdeka weekend, and the folly of too much partying.

This week Sunday Scribblings prompt is The End.

A delicious smell
wafting all around
Cheering revellers aloud,
by dint of their sound.
A full goat roasting
deliciously on the spit
Mouth watering,
can’t wait to take in a bite.
Children skipping jump
by bright neon lights
Banshee-like, all
caught up in the excite
Running happily, nary a care,
all a hearty,
Well, they are the raison d’etre
for the party.
All in all, a night
full of mirth and merriment
Never had I felt such glee,
such an enjoyment.
Everybody had so much fun,
let’s do it again,
It’s just sad that
it had to come to the end.

In honour of Malaysia 50th Independence, We had a barbecue Merdeka party, organised by the resident association on Friday night.

It was quite enjoyable. I’m not sure how many families attended, cause as usual, I came late, he he.

All in all, we barbecued a whole goat, 10 whole chickens, 10kg of squids, 10kg of mackerel, 5kg of kerapu, 10kg of potato chips, 5kg of whole sweet potatoes, 2kg of sausages, and 5kg of fried rice. It ended at around 12 midnight, but a few of us guys stayed back for a karaoke session and film screening, which was projected on to a wall using a VGA projector.

I came home at around 4 am, had a shower, read my email, and at 5 am, promptly went out again, this time to the local mamak shop, for a glass of teh tarik and a plate of roti canai. At 6 am, together with a few of the other guys, we head out to Semenyih, about 20km away, to do a spot of fishing. As it was Merdeka, the fishing pond had a special 50% discount in which for RM50, we can spend 10 hours fishing. That’s how I spend the whole of Saturday, and FYI, I caught… not a single fish.
And the rest of Saturday night, and the whole of this Sunday morning, I spend in bed, accompanied by a sore throat, a runny nose, and a bloody pounding, splitting headache. Guess too much partying really is bad, eh.
