Dear Diary,
This is Nick-a-Let again. I jus’ don’t know what is going on nowadays. Here it is, I set up the Independence Bash for this year to be held at Stabroek Market Square. It was going to be bigger and better. I had already allocated 0 million to spruce up the Square for the flag-raising ceremony and everything. That’s quite a bargain from what it cost us on Jubilee Park last year, isn’t it, Dear Diary?
But some ignoramuses made a big fuss that the celebrations must be held at Jubilee Park! Can you believe it, Dear Diary?? Don’t they know anything about aesthetics? It’s a good thing I got my .6 million scholarship to study health and one of the subjects I had to do is the effect of aesthetics on health.
You ask, what all of this has to do with the Independence celebrations, Dear Diary?? We’ll, I’ll have you know that I head the Culture Ministry. And culture has to do with aesthetics. Health is just a bonus!! And the aesthetics, of Jubilee Park is just so low class!! Can you imagine how wooden stands will look in my CV, after I finish my scholarship PhD? Schuups!!
Anyhow, after the fuss, I suggested we have the bash at Parade Ground. That would cost around 0 million but that would still be less than Jubilee Park. For all the military parades we MUST have we will have to prepare the ground – and build stands. This time I would have built metal stands unlike what that Patta Sin did at Jubilee Park.
Anyhow the great unwashed kept making noise, Dear Diary and now we have to go to Jubilee Park. The shame!! The shame!! I’m so upset I’m tempted not to go. But I tell you what, Dear Diary. Once again, I won’t find seats for the PPP!!
