Malaysia 57th Independence Day | Malaysia, Here Lies a Love | Di Sini Lahirnya Sebuah Cinta
© 2014 Wazari Wazir | Mother And Daughter | Happy Malaysia 57th Independence Day “I will not be “famous,” “great.” I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped.
