just minishorts.

ADD ON: It is amazing how some people forget that today, being 16th September, is Malaysia's birthday. Today in 1963, Malaysia was born to include Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore. Two years later, Singapore became independent. But the point is this: while 31st August is Independence Day, 16th September remains truly, Harijadi Malaysia.

I'm going to take a cue from Scalzi with his infamous 'Being Poor', but to avoid being accused of blatant plagiary, I'm going to change it a little.
