In that case, after work I went to the California Fitness to have an hour of gym session, pumping and stressing every possible body muscles I have so I would bulk up! (Watch out! As if the next Incredible Hulk is on the way!) After that I enjoyed a short moment of sauna and steam, took my shower and waited at the lobby with my sister's boyfriend for my sister, who was taking KTM, changed monorail to meet us.
We waited almost half an hour to finally see her and we went to IZZI Restaurant to have our dinner. Poor my sister, ain't gonna let her eat mamak after all the way from home to to KL. It took almost 1 and a half hour for her to reach here! Stupid Malaysian public transport! I don't think it will improve any sooner. All of us should start sending tonnes of complaint letters to the pertaining ministry! ~ "We care, therefore we complain!"
Anyway, back to our IZZI Restaurant, we ordered pretty lotsa food. As we got to know that using HSBC or Citibank credit card will have 50% off for a single receipt which is more than RM 100. Oh, we ordered a few expensive food and make sure they exceeded RM 100 so we could enjoy the discount.
So the following are what we ordered:
All the above cost RM 106.60 (exclusive gov. tax). So we got to enjoy 50% off and we only need to pay RM 55.97 (inclusive gov.tax). That's so freaking cheap! Next time should bring my family there.
After that we took the monorail and headed to Stadium Merdeka. When reached there, I couldn't find my dad who was already there. So we found ourselves a place to stand (yeah no more seat as the place was crowded already!). Surprisingly, the performance rehearsal not yet started. Some group we still having some practice. Later I found out from a friend Koon Loong (who was a volunteer there) that they were all waiting for the Prime Minister. Great VVIP!
We didn't have to wait long to see the PM finally arrive and the whole rehearsal started. I ain't gonna go into detail about everything. Basically the whole performance is based on the 5 Prime Minister. So there are 5 big grand performance ended with the most fantastic performance by SGM (Soka Gakkai Malaysia) group.
I didn't really took much photos at the beginning of the show as my phone was running out of battery. I have to save the best for the last! Let's have a look on what I have here:
Finally when talk about the 5th Prime Minister, SGM group performers appeared and filled up the middle field.

Once again, I am deeply touched by the SGM performance. The performers successfully proved again that unity can achieve greater things. I saw the discipline, the energy of youth and the mission they carry to bring joy, hopes and happiness to everyone there. I felt their enthusiasm. I felt their passion. I could imagine their every practice under the merciless sun or the heavy rain. But they never gave up. And the pressed on steadfastly. And the result are undoubtedly fabulous! Wonderful! Amazing! Fantastic!
I felt great and lucky to be there to witness the rehearsal. I couldn't really enjoy watching the great performance as I was busy taking photos. But I can watch it on TV on the actual day. Now thanks to my new cellphone for being able to capture better quality photos. Love it so much! Muacks!
Can't wait to see the actual performance on TV on the 31st August 2007. I am praying earnestly that the performance will be a very very successful one! An even better performance! Also praying hard that all the performers are in good health and have the wisdom and courage to overcome whatever obstacles that might comes in their way!
Proud to be SGM member! Proud to be Malaysian!
Malaysiaku Gemilang!
