A/N: Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to everyone who is celebrating it! And my heartfelt condolences to those who are affected by recent tragedies or disasters. And also congratulations to whoever won the medals for my country in the Commonwealth Games! I can't post a new chapter up as I am quite busy with assignment and all that I just didn't have the time to write nor I am inspired to write, however, before I go on and off, I had to post a new chapter up before I can focus on my midterms and assignments. August is a really busy month for me but not on the last week (hopefully)!

Warnings: Tsundere Malaysia, not so good Scottish accent, maybe not so good explanation about football

Extra Notes: I won't write ANYTHING relating to recent tragedies or disasters. Gender of Malaysia will change depending on the story.

To Ore. Jibun. Boku. Watashi, your request will be in the next chapter!

~Haze~

...

As you all know, nations can't get ill like normal humans do. It merely depends on how the country is fairing. For Malaysia, a lucky young country among her siblings to not be in the Pacific Ring of Fire, which means volcanoes, typhoons, earthquakes and others were never a concern to her. However, haze and flashfloods were of course, always on her main concern, which means more paperwork to do and Putrajaya is not helping her do it. Oh, not excluding water shortages because of El Nino or unscheduled water disruptions thanks Sya-.

Thanks to haze recently, our favourite nation is ill along with the other states, especially Sarawak. Singapore is not excluded in falling ill to the haze. Singapore along with his sister, Malaysia has been a victim to the haze thanks to Indonesia's forest fires.

"Damn that Indon, always burning her forests and all." Malaysia complained in a hoarse voice.

It was suppose to be a normal get together for the Hari Raya instead of an open house due to recent tragedies unfortunately, the haze made most of her states fall ill.

"Hehe, at least you're still normal Malaysia." Australia teased.

"Shut up."

...

~Origin of Teh Tarik~

...

Have you ever drink teh tarik before? Or at least heard of it? Literally translated pulled tea, is a hot milk beverage found in most local restaurants. If you drink teh tarik or at least heard of it, aren't you the least bit curious of its origin?

Well we are going to find out, the APH way.

Malaya is actually the creator of this beverage, not Singapore. She merely taught Singapore that along with many other things.

England had just came back from a long meeting with his boss and all and he wants nothing more than a cup of tea. As he enters the kitchen, he saw Malaya doing what it seems like pouring something into a mug, then back to the other mug. She was doing it repeatedly before pouring it into a cup.

"Malaya, what on earth are you doing?" England asked.

Malaya turned to England and replied "Making some tea."

Tea? Why go through all of that just to make tea? Quite a strange way to make tea as well, he thought.

"You want some? It's called teh tarik!"

"Teh what?"

"Teh tarik. I mixed some milk along with black tea to create this. I taught Singapore this too." Malaya explained, handing the cup of the so called teh tarik to England.

England took the cup as Malaya poured another into another cup. He watched her downed all of the contents of the cup before nodding in satisfaction. "Quite good."

...

Let It Go/Bebaskan

...

Ever since that new Disney movie was released, everyone was crazy about it. Malaysia was no exception. She even had her own language of the movie. Her favourite is indeed, the award winning song, Let It Go or in the Malay version, Bebaskan.

"*Bebaskan, bebaskan, tak mampu bertahan lagi~" she sang.

Her siblings watched her singing the song while doing her work. Everyone had to admit, Malaysian version of Let It Go was quite good.

"**Bebaskan, bebaskan, kucuba sedayaku~" Singapore continued, thanks to his 'kiasu'.

"I like Malaysia's version, it's quite nice." Taiwan admitted while watching her cousin/sister singing the song.

Hong Kong nodded in agreement. Malaysian's version of Elsa is quite good especially when singing the song Let It Go.

...

Malaysia, England and

Badminton

...

England likes badminton, he just won't admit it, being the proud gentleman he is. He is not very skilled in playing badminton but his people had improved over the years to beat India's team in the recent Mixed Team Event in the Commonwealth Games. However, being defeated by Malaysia's team, he realizes he still had a long way to go.

"Since your badminton skills aren't half-bad, I'm going to give you my personal training. My training won't be harsh like Bang China's so don't worry." Malaysia offered.

England smiled. "That'll be lovely dear. It is quite nice of you to do this."

Malaysia blushed, activating her tsundere side. "It's not like I'm doing this for you or anything! It'll be a shame for you to be get beaten so soon once you're in the game so I'm doing this so you can at least fend for yourself!"

With a snickering Australia, New Zealand and Singapore in the background, she finds it hard to look at England in the eyes. Damn, she is so going to kill those three snickering idiots later!

"C-Come now! S-Some matches are still on and it'll be g-good for you to observe them!" Malaysia said, turning away, stuttering on some words.

...

Meeting Uncle Scotland again

...

Malaysia had just claim her independence from England when she first met Uncle Scotland during a meeting with Singapore. Red hair, green eyes and even shared the most famous thick eyebrows. He's huge, taller than England to be more precise.

"Oh Malaysia, Singapore, this is my brother Scotland. Scotland, this is Malaysia and Singapore." England introduces the two to each other.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Scotland." Malaysia and Singapore said, sticking out their hands at the same time.

"Same here."

Malaysia remained quiet for a while before asking "Can me and Singapore call you Uncle?"

Scotland raised an eyebrow as England corrected Malaysia "It's Singapore and I."

Singapore nodded. "Since England is like our father, even though his cooking is terrible and Mr. Scotland is England's brother, it is in our culture to call you Uncle.

England was about to lecture Singapore about English cuisine when Scotland said "Why not?"

-Commonwealth Games-

"Uncle Scotland!" Malaysia called, waving at the red headed man while dragging Singapore behind her.

" Oh Malaysia, Singapore, how's it been. You grown a lot since the last time I saw ye two.

The two of them grinned. "Of course lah! We are already famous you know!"

...

Introduction to Football

(Male Malaysia)

...

Almost everyone in Malaysia are football fans, most of them are football pros while some play football for fun. Malaysia's passion for football knows no boundaries like badminton.

If you are a hardcore football fan, what is your favourite team in the recent FIFA World Cup? Germany really did rock back there! Congrats to them on winning the World Cup Germany! Also, who is your favourite football star?

Well, enough of all these questions. But then again, I do have one question for you. How did football became a national sport in the first place? Or better yet, who introduces football to Malaysia?

England is actually the person who brought football to Malaysia, back then, Malaysia was known as Malaya. Having fed up with introducing the sport to Asia. The year was 1933.

"Malaya, do you want to play football?" England asked, holding a football in his hands.

"Football? What is that?" Malaya asked.

"Well...football is...a game in which you and your team kicked the ball into the net to score as many goals as you can within a time limit. If you have more goals than your opponent's team, you win the game." England explained or what it seems to be an easy explanation to someone who is new to the sport.

Malaya tilted his head to the side. Sounds fun and as a young yet-to-be independent nation nodded. However there's just one problem for young Malaya.

"But I don't know how to play." Malaya said.

"Don't worry there lad, I'll show you. It's quite easy."

So that time England taught Malaya football, locals soon gather and watch them play the game. Locals soon picked up the sport and it becomes some kind of an entertainment for them. Malaya, that time would join local kids to play the game. A football association was formed after that with the leader of that association being British until Tunku Abdul Rahman came into the picture.

When Tunku Abdul Rahman took over, being the football fan he was, football crazy and all. He believes that sport is plays a vital role health and unity so he quickly established an Under-18 football tournament.

"Malaya, let's play football!" Tunku would always ask Malaya to play with him whenever he's free.

"Sure! I'm going to beat your team this time!" Malaya said.

People of different races gather to play the game, having fun and all. You'll forget the wall that separates you. Tunku is striving to bring all of the three main races together and he is doing so by football besides other stuff he had done. Tunku's efforts weren't a waste when he became the president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

Every time Malaya or Malaysia is free, he would always look for his siblings, be it Singapore or the states, holding a football in his hands. He asks "Do you wanna play some football?"

Forgetting past conflicts, Malaysia would also drag his other siblings from East Asia to play football. Malaysia hopes that he could carry on Tunku's legacy. His efforts brought the whole of Malaysia together through the love of football.

"***Jom kita main bola!"

Commonwealth Games

(Badminton)

...

In almost every Commonwealth Games, Malaysia has dominate the badminton court besides England. However, England still possesed the most gold medals in badminton with Malaysia in the second place.

Malaysia, a young nation known for his superb badminton skills. Ever since Malaysia conquered the sport, England might have one tough opponent to face and that is one of his former colonies, Malaysia.

No other nations in the Commonwealth were able to get much medals as these two nations. Not even Australia or even Canada could even reach that much. Some nations even commented that Malaysia could even use a badminton racquet as a weapon.

"I am the King of Badminton!" Malaysia proudly announced.

Some groans could be heard.

"Shouldn't it be prince ah?" Singapore asked.

"No Singapura (Singapore), it must be King or no one will know my reputation in badminton!" Malaysia replied.

In the Glassgow Commonwealth Games, there are many surprises for everyone, new challenges, a very tense competition, emerging stars from other Commonwealth nations besides Malaysia and also new stars are also emerging from Malaysia as well.

Bangkitlah Malaysia! This is your time to shine! Rise and let the whole world know the roar of the Malaysian tiger in the Asian Games in South Korea soon!

...

Let's Dance

...

How would they describe Malaysia's traditional dance? Many nations such as China, Japan, South Korea, India and many others have describe her dance as graceful. Taiwan's jaw were opened the whole time. Not many had seen the nation herself dance her own traditional one. Mostly is American style and all. Nevertheless, she is good in it.

The way how her hands moved with the music and all, really captivates the audience. As if she is one with the music. Her eyes still had that look that no one could really comprehend it what she is really thinking. Some just think it might be what happened recently that affected her.

Sure China and other nations have dances that could captured the audiences's hearts but Malaysia's dances have a unique trait that no other dances could compare. The beautiful red hibiscus still remained beautiful in her hair.

...

Finding a (good) restaurant to eat

in a shopping mall is easy

but finding an empty seat is difficult

...

Male Malaysia's stomach growled. This signifies that he's hungry (his stomach mostly) and there is no way he's going to spend big this time! Right now, if you DARE get in the way when Malaysia is in need of food, the results is really, really bad as some nations found out one day.

Glancing around for some delicious food cooked in restaurants, his stomach growled even more. Yes, his stomach is very impatient. Passing by every (good) restaurant, a full house awaits Malaysia and his stomach.

"I'm hungry...yet I don't want to spend a lot..." Malaysia said to himself.

Inside his head, you would find Malaysia talking bad (cursing) certain people (you know who) for taking a lot of money and use it for personal consumption. But right now, all he could focus on is food! Delicious, yummy, mouth-watering and all. Why can't restaurants have extra seats for him?

...

Eating the Durian

...

Durians. Everyone knows that is the favourite fruit of Malaysia. The young nation adored durians regardless of its stinky smell. No one can endure it except her siblings who are used to it.

America refuses to believe that the durian could be have a strong odour that no one wants to eat it. It just a fruit, how strong the odour could it get for him? England have warned him several times about the fruit but being the hero he is, he still sticks to his decision.

When he approached Malaysia about it, the young nation had been glad to bring some for him. Warnings from many that the durians might be too much for him to handle but those warnings turn a deaf ear on America.

Maybe he should have listened to them after all.

Malaysia placed two halves of a durian in front of America. America gulped. He was so wrong in wanting to try this. He could not endure the smell. Other nations watched from the sidelines, debating whether they should interfere or not.

"Now America, try and finish them. Take it slowly since you're a first timer." Malaysia said.

America nodded. Now is the time for him to take this thing into his mouth. He's a hero and heroes don't just go down after eating this.

There's no turning back now. It's now or never.

Malaysia pulls out another durian and eats it while watching. No reaction from her, as to be expected from someone who consume so many durians at once. Here goes for nothing. America shut his eyes as he placed the fruit in his mouth.

He chew on it slowly. Sure it had been agonizing but it does taste...good.

"Not bad! Imagine the smell is like a skunk, rotten and mushy onions and all but at least you still-"

Malaysia didn't finished as America threw up the contents of his stomach. Well, it had been worth the try. Malaysia mentioned those on purpose did she?

...

The End

...

Translation:

Bebaskan, bebaskan, tak mampu bertahan lagi-Let it Go (Set it free), Let It Go(set it free), can't hold it back anymore

Kucuba sedayaku- I have tried my best

Jom kita main bola-Come, let's play football (In Malaysia, we shortcut it to bola which means ball)

Bangkitlah-Rise

...

Let's begin the 10 seconds countdown to the show, shall we?

"Starting from 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1"

Selamat Hari Raya! It's show time!

The audience clapped their hands followed by cheers and whistles as our favourite personifications of Malaysia entered the stage, dressed in new baju melayu and baju kurung. The beautiful red hibiscus was tucked in Female Malaysia's hair while another on Male Malaysia's breast pocket.

"Thank you, thank you, terima kasih everyone for coming to our show once again." Male Malaysia bowed.

"It is such an honour to present yet another topic to you guys again!" Female Malaysia said, smiling.

"But who's going to select for us?"

Male Malaysia pondered about this for a while before grinning like an idiot. He whispered into his female counterpart's ear about it. Female Malaysia soon grinned as well. She and her male counterpart shared a look as they turned to face the audience.

"Bang India!" the two of them yelled.

India blinked, pointing to himself. "Me?"

Male and Female Malaysia nodded. India glanced around nervously before getting up. Why him out of all other nations? And being a loyal family member to Malaysia, he sticks around to watch these and of course, none of them did get off easily without something.

"Alright Malaysia, I'm heading up there. So...what is it this time?"

"Wheel of fortune!" both Malaysians exclaimed in the same time.

Male Malaysia snapped his fingers as a wheel of fortune was lowered.

Indeed it was called the wheel of fortune, however, this wheel of fortune is not just an ordinary wheel of fortune. It is a special wheel of fortune created just for this show. Yes, it's huge so don't question how huge. Hehehe, prepare for what's coming up.

"I believe you know how to use the wheel of fortune Bang India so there is no need for me to explain everything." Female Malaysia said, leading India to the wheel of fortune.

"True, I hope you are not planning anything crazy." India said.

Both personifications of Malaysia simply put up an innocent look as if that thought never crossed their minds even once "Now why would we do that?"

So India took a deep a breath before spinning the wheel. The wheel continue to spin and spin. When it feels like forever since the wheel started spinning, it finally stopped. Nothing happened, strange.

India smiled. Guess he's safe from these craziness.

Step

Or not.

Boom

Yeah, India just activated a trap that Malaysia set up for this thing. Don't worry, it's nothing harmful, just a simple bag of flour that had exploded just now. India glared at the two cheeky personifications who were simply 'shocked.'

"I hope you can run fast."

Both Male and Female Malaysia took a step back. "We're in trouble but before we run off, check the results on the wheel."

The arrow on the wheel was pointing to...Gold Coast! As in Gold Coast, Australia! Where the next Commonwealth Games shall be held!

Stepping onto the stage was none other than the cheeky Australia. Yes, an animal lover, the home to koala bears and kangaroos. Also, a place where animals as in sharks, crocodiles, octopus, jellyfish and many more are after your life.

"Yo mates! How are ya?" Australia greeted. The koala bear perched on his shoulder also waved at the crowd.

"Thank you Australia. Now, please carry on with the show while we run for our life." Male Malaysia said before running off with his female counterpart as India chase after them.

Australia grinned as Koala gave him a piece of paper. "Thank you mate. Now...today's topic is..."

*Drumrolls*

"Malaysians' appetite for food." New Zealand finished, popping out of no where.

"Glad to see you made it here Zea." Australia said, giving his brother a high five.

"Same here. Anyway, Malaysians' have quite an appetite for food. Even though they just had lunch, they will began to wonder what's for dinner."

"Food means everything to them. They can eat a lot if the food are really delicious." Australia continued.

"Penang's street food is a good example. Many Malaysians and other foreigners go there to fill their stomachs with street food." New Zealand pointed out.

The two brothers shared a look with each other before grinning. "However," they both said "Malaysians' appetite will shut down if the food is terrible! Such as England's charcoal food!"

Many laughed along with the two Oceania brothers as England stood up and yelled "It's called scones you bloody idiots! And they are NOT charcoal food! I can cook good food if I put my mind in it!"

Hong Kong then 'whispered' to Singapore "Since when does England cook good food?"

Singapore grinned and replied "Since never!"

"Ya lah! The day his cooking turns good will be the day America stopped eating burgers!" Female Malaysia added, grinning.

"Until next time guys! Jumpa lagi (See you again)!"
