Norway Constituition Day - 17th of May 2008

Last 17th of May was an independence day of Norway (tak sure depa panggil independence day ke constituition day)...and since the weather was so good...we've got the chance to join their parade downtown..Actually, since the city is not so big...so the crowds can be considered not so big also..Trondheim ni boleh diibaratkan macam Melaka je la kot kalau kat mesia tu..kira macam bandar bersejarah gitu..so, for site seeing..much of the places are more to historical and of course fishery (huhuhu...yg ni akan cite lebih lanjut pada masa akan datang..my hubby has been addicted to this new activity...kat Malaysia dulu lama dah stop xtvt mancing ni..so, skg dah jumpa geng and dapat peluang..cuaca pun makin bagus and Alhamdulillah..so far 2 kali pergi mancing pulang tak pernah tgn kosong)..

masih pagi - perut lapar nih tak sempat breakfast tapi sebab budak2 ni excited sgt tak sabar nak pergi tgk parade..ikutkan jek la..

So, back to this important date for the Norwegian..we started walking from the faculty around 9 am..and because my kids were also wearing their costume..they're very proud and some of them took the chance to take photos with the kids..(bak kata abahnya, kat mesia pun kita tak beriya sambut hari kebangsaan macam ni ya)..tu la..this is a lesson for us..lepas ni rasanya kalau balik malaysia..pasti tak sabar nak tunggu 31 ogos and join the parade..as for the people here, they're really looking forward for the event and none of them missed it..all the shops were closed and they're all only in the sentrum to celebrate the day, with their traditional costume...and eventhough it's not a must but they did it as for their ownself..(tanpa paksaan, tanpa upah!)..ehehe..teringat lak masa sekolah2 dulu..masuk perbarisan sebab boleh dapat t'shirt free la...makan free la...apa2 lah mentality melayu...(dulu la kot)..rasanya skg seme dah ok..insyaAllah..:)

rihana tumpang sekaki - abah kata rihana kenal bendera Norway dulu daripada bendera Malaysia ye..:P


eventhough we're celebrating their day..but i do not know why..deep inside my heart...i really do miss Malaysia..(kata org walau camana pun..tempat sendiri mmg lagi best kan..)
