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