Was at Dataran Merdeka this afternoon to witness the lighting of the Olympic Flame for the Malaysian Leg of the Olympic Torch Run.

The weather was kind and warm and the crowd was just overwhelming. People packed the field and I have to jostled my way through.

When the small band comprising of City Hall personnel played the National Anthem at the beginning of the ceremony, I felt a gigantic swell of pride and patriotism coursing through my veins. The last time I sang the National Anthem was decades ago when I was still in school.

I managed to make my way to the front and snapped some shots for posterity.
