Of National Importance

Another kind of rehearsing today involving family. Brother-in-law Fuad's younger brother, Fahmi, is the Parade Commander this year for the big National Day Parade and they've got the dress rehearsal today, the dress rehearsal being pretty much the real thing with a big audience who get to enjoy all the performances. Rozita & Fuad are going along, but it looks like Fafa will be attending our little show this evening.

Hope Fahmi is in good voice - as his son Shibri rightly pointed out to the press, he's generally so gently spoken it's difficult to imagine him barking out orders on the big field. Actually he's one of the nicest blokes I know and it's lovely to think of him being centrestage. For once, we'll be glued to our tv screens for the whole jamboree come 9 August.
