The Nite

The Asian Nite comprising of 3 countries (Korea, Malaysia and Vietnam) coming together to share our culture with GSO students.  

Because of this Nite, the three of us sacrifised our 5 days holiday unwillingly. We really prioritise this Nite to bits, while others enjoyed themselves somewhere. 

Those 5 days was intense. Lol. Had to finalise the recipe, guessing where to buy the ingredients, journey to various Asian shops in the town, buying the ingredients, picking the best price since we have a limit to claim. 

While hunting for the best offer, we bumped into 2 Malaysians. And we sort of clicked? Hahaha. It was so fun to talk in Manglish (Malay + English). Hehehe. They are really friendly people though. I asked for sambal recipe and she email-ed me instantly. Ooooo. Wahhhh =)) 

We picked 3 dishes for the Nite. Nasi lemak, karipap and red bean dessert. The recipe was founded by Heidi. 

Junie and Heidi made alot of effort in making the dishes taste delicious. While I, just did the supporting stuff like making noise, cutting and alil washing at times. This Nite really took our breath away, we were tired in the end. But it was worthwhile. =)) 

For the cooking part, I didnt put much effort into it bcos I cant cook. The most I did was just following them around getting the ingredients, cutting and washing. 

 

I was preparing the video presentation about Malaysia. I did what I could in 1 nite 1 day with many thanks to Youtube. This was the result. Ok ok lor, nothing to WOW about. I didnt really really work on it to be honest. Could have included more elements and cut more unnecessary stuff. Alil grammar mistakes also. Sobs. Oh well. 

But I personally like the powerpoint I made that day. Lol. We sang 'Rasa Sayang' for the performance part. I kinda syok sendiri alil I think. Oops. I pointed at the projected screen as if it was a touchscreen instead of telling my friend with the laptop where to click. Gosh. Q__Q 

Anyway, these people below without the traditional clothing were smart enough to come early (before the Nite started) to eat first. Haha. We were glad that they liked it. Some like the sambal nasi lemak alot but there wasnt much for them. 

Below you can see the food prepared by us and the Koreans. The Koreans made Korean pizza, kim chi and pali ja (looks like sushi). I totally love the Korean pizza. Mmmmm  .. .   

There was no picture of what the Vietnamese prepared as the food came when the Nite started. We didnt had the chance to eat them. It finished. Sobs. What a pity. 

Oh oh, this are the 2 Malaysian fellas. Julie and Riced (on the far right). AND we successfully converted a confused German-Thai (the one wearing black baju Melayu) into Malaysian. Hahaha. It is gonna be more complicated with 3 identities now. Haiz. Good luck to you making up your mind ahpakk. 

** Note to ahpakk if you are reading this: We are really really thankful for everything you have done and spending your time helping us out. Thank you so so much. You dont know how much it has meant to us. Terima kasih ^^

Alil picture of the performance by Vietnamese. Similar to Fan Dance though but they used hat instead of fan.

As mentioned above, we taught the audience to sing Rasa Sayang. 

Spot what is it with the picture below. 

Next we have the pro all the way from Malaysia teaching us the right way to wear / make a tudung.  

Attempt 1: 

Attempt 2: 

This is how I would look like in a tudung.

 I look exceptionally happie here. 

I have always wanted to wear a tudung for god knows how long. Hehe. Finally I am wearing one. 

Thanks Juli sifu. 

Now, here, we have one very ambitious potential candidate who dreams to be a Malaysia Prime Minister one day. Doesnt he has that look to be the next PM? Rofl. He memang gedik habis². 

The sexiest and the hiao-est person for the Nite goes to Junie. Sexy kan? 

Here we have the very excited Europeans trying out the baju kebaya and the tudung. Hehehe.

Malaysia, we love you. I will be back. Mua hahaha! Wait for me. =))
