Cultural Night 2013

We had our MCN on February 23 at the Student Union Building. Tickets were sold out! There were even people trying to get tickets at the door. Even without tables, there were some who just wanted to get in. I'm so amazed :)

I had a great time. We're a small community here at UNB, so to prepare a big event like this wasn't an easy task for us. To be lacking members was a serious challenge but we proved to everyone that with cooperation, team work and mutual understanding, everything gets better :)

Performances - I love the zapin dance and silat. Check it out!
Food - nampak nya our kek bakar (pandan) was the star of the day. Banyak minta resepi -_-
Decoration - super amazed with the backdrop (boys are so artsy!) and the kampung setup is better than I expected

Watch via Youtube:



Silat full performance:



Dikir barat full performance:

Dikir Barat is so funny! and fun! Never imagined myself performing this 4 years back.

Our hard wark has paid off. We got what we deserved. Alhamdulillah. Now we can focus on more Malaysian Student Society activities! (Next post: snowboarding and skiing).

Roses and thorns

MasyaAllah! I've seen and I've touched many beautiful things recently. From the small and trivial, to the breath-taking paint like scene from a moving gondola. The rekindled and strengthened bonds,  the birth of a new cousin sister through IVF, and many more. Syukur alhamdulillah :)

Unfortunately, while we enjoy our bread and rice, there are struggling lives out there. So many heart wrenching current news that are happening as we speak. The blood spilling crisis in my very own country, in particular. I hope peace will soon be restored in Lahad Datu and the rest of Sabah, inshaAllah. Cruel world we live in they say, but we ought not to forget its beauty and what it has got to offer.

Have a good day, everyone.
