Appreciate..

Happy 25th Independence Day to all Bruneian, a silver jubilee everyone !… meaning we have been celebrating “Merdeka” for more then 2 decades now… alhamdullilah. We were having good time (and still have) to live as “Negara merdeka” in peaceful prosperous way leads by our loving monarch. We should be thankful to Allah SWT for the blessing and always be grateful for letting us to breath in such wealthy, peaceful kingdom.

Every year we celebrate “Merdeka” as to recall the memoir of the achievement of our independent. This year I joined “Merdeka ride” with my fellow bikers. Actually it is not pleasure of riding that I seek but the main purpose was to give support to the organizer as they were making merdeka ride as well doing fund rising for unfortunate Palestinians. I believe this is one of good way to appreciate our given wealth by not forgetting our brothers and sisters who are suffering and need hands. The ride began at 7 am with 100 bikes and more, every rider donated and rode to Seria and the capital for more fund rising. Alhamdullilah, most Bruneians are kind-hearted, I m proud for their concerns, god bless the donors. But somehow I was freaking shock, as there was a middle-age man was stating “ramai lagi org Brunei susah”… mannn,.. come on.. how “susah” is ours compare to Gaza ?. We live in a very peaceful country, less taxes, fine welfares and great hospitality etc... shuykur tah! Oh Yes, recently our country experienced "rain-flooding" phenomena, but obviously not as worse as Gaza’s fatal by war. This man should be ashamed to himself, he suppose to support the charity at least even he has nothing to donate. Pray to God for our peace and wealth, shyukur dengan apa yang telah dikurniakan.

The ride was very enjoying! all scooters and big bikes were unite and share something in common, to ride for a sake of love and care to others. I reckoned every participant was happy riding on that day, satisfaction clearly can be seen on every face even the heat was striking furiously but "support spirit" were flaming, this shows unity among all Bruneian riders. Kudos to the committee for the flawless function and thank a million to the donors.. God bless you all. Thanks to police traffics of Brunei for escorting us and taking care of our convoy.

Afterall, motorcycling is not all about wild and free but doing good deeds too. Happy merdeka to all... peace, love & respect and ride hard !!!
