This is one of the historical places, so I invite my children and husband to
00:28
share our memories here.
00:31
This is one of the places where I fell in love with my husband about 20 years ago.
00:38
We are actually members of the police and we got to know each other when we were training
00:43
in the police training centre, Ayitam, Pelambah, Negeri Sembilan.
00:46
One of the memories for me is the view, everything is beautiful, the old buildings,
00:54
it's close to the Malay land, everything is old.
00:58
This area is a settlement area, it used to be a settlement area.
01:02
So, many people come here, so we chose Dataran Merdeka to meet.
01:10
Actually, every year we will come to take pictures at Dataran Merdeka because it's a historical place
01:15
and we really like the building, the structure.
01:19
Actually, we just walk around, sometimes we don't have anything to do at night,
01:24
even on weekends, we come here just to relax and look at the view.
01:28
My wife really likes the background of the building, she doesn't like nature, trees, parks.
01:33
So, instead of going to the park, we come to look for the building.
01:38
On weekends, if we feel like going for a ride, we will pass by here.
01:44
But every year, on the first day of Eid, we will come here to take a selfie.
01:51
I hope this year we can celebrate Eid together,
01:54
I hope next year we can celebrate Eid together with our children.
01:59
I just want to remember the first day of Eid.
02:03
I want to celebrate here, take photos as a memory.
02:06
It's special because this is my first daughter-in-law.
02:10
So, last year she celebrated Eid in Kelantan,
02:12
so this year, for the first time, we gathered seven people.
02:15
So, it's more fun to be able to gather everyone.
02:19
We just hope that this will last for a long time.
02:23
We live in a family that I have to take care of to take care of our family.
02:29
That's the most important thing, to take care of our family.
02:31
We have to be together.
02:33
That's actually our happiness in this world.
02:40
Eid Mubarak!
