just that

a friend was asking me again, "are you that patriotic?"

hmmm, define patriotic? not literally define. but tell me, what does a patriotic person do? wave a flag around all the time? spout patriotic messages every few seconds? gets involved in political parties? stage demonstrations? if so, no i'm not.

but, i love malaysia despite everything. i want to see the country prosper. i want to see the people of this nation love their homeland. i want to see the people of this nation move forward; technologically, intellectually, socially, culturally. i want our unique heritage preserved. history remembered. i want to see longevity in this beautiful land. i want there to still be a malaysia in generations to come. i want people to realize what beauty this land has. i want to see people love and truly live.

me, patriotic?

i don't know. i just want to love.
