My Merdeka Hat

I did this hat for a competition in school. I made it out of paper and magic pens. The best one will get a hamper or something as a prize.

Note the “Jalur Gemilang” at the background, taken from my parents’ bedroom

The one I did almost won but as the teacher said this:

[my hat]

“Oh look! Okay, this is one of the…”

[picks up another hat]

“Eh, this one looks better right? Okay, so this is first, this is second and this is third.”

And I lost. But I was happy for my friend though, Goh Xin Yen, the 1st prize winner. Hers is similar to mine, only much neater. The second prize went to this guy, Travis Tan. His hat was like the bear-skinned one that is being wear by the red coat Buckingham Palace guards in London with streamers. The third is a graduation like but instead of flat, its chef-hat-shaped made by a Malay boy called Sirajulmunir.

Well, I guess I’ll have to work harder next time!

As for now, “Keranamu, Malaysia” and “Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan ke 50“.
