Malaysia: 50 Years Young
Like the patriotic Malaysian that I am (read: JPA pays for my future so I better act good and turn up for these kind of stuff), I bought myself tickets to the 50th Merdeka Dinner held at the Dom Polski Centre here in Adelaide. It was a huge event organised by all the Malaysian students societies in Adelaide (which number at about 5 - 6!!!). Overall, had a pretty good time. Food was commendable, performances was so - so, met up with other Malaysians, did not win any of the lucky draw….. Haha.
Things that a typical Malaysian function cannot do without:
The people… (yes, I’m wearing the same dress from prom last year. Couldn’t be bothered / no time to get a new one)
Typical Malaysian behaviour with buffet tables…. hahaha…
On Friday, I got an opportunity to attend the South Australia’s Premier Reception held for Malaysians. Invites were sent out to all the students representing the different student associations in Adelaide and also prominent Malaysians who contributed to SA’s development. It was a chance for us to rub shoulders with all these people. There were some ministers around as well to hear out views / complaints / suggestions etc. It was only for one hour though so it ended pretty fast.
Okie, what you can’t see behind us is the room were parliment convenes. I know it’s a bad picture but we didn’t have time and techincally, we weren’t shown in there as well…… :-*
