Eid Mubarak (Hari Raya Festival)

Last week, me and the other Malaysians were having a gathering in conjunction with Raya Festival. Sure enough that was a good thing to get all scattered Malaysian Aggies gathered in one place. For this Raya, we chose Ain as our honorary host for she is among the only four Malays here in Aggieland. She is living off-campus anyway and that makes thing easier. We invited all Malaysians which were around 24 people, but some were not coming for inevitable reason. We also had an American student wanting to taste "Malaysian food". Unfortunately that day, i could not help with the food preparation because i was doing my online homework after i got back from the mass. That was because procrastination is my ultimate passion. After i was done, Ain picked me and Douglas up. My only contribution for the gathering was the "ngajat" performance. I have long wanted to perform my asset especially in the States. Actually i was once invited by the International Student Office to perform during the International Cultural Night during Spring semester this year. But i was not feeling well that day that i canceled to perform. But it was alright since i still have four more years schooling here. Back to the main topic, we have really had a good time talking craps and getting to know some new faces. Plus, its kinda good feeling coming to such a Malaysian party with two more Shell scholars because before this, it was only the same three dull faces representing Shell. We have had a chance to practice our diplomacy having introduced them to such an environment. In a very near future, i am thinking of organizing Gawai Dayak Festival, only after i finish my on-campus hall contract. By the way, i better stop rambling about these Raya stuffs for i have some of our photos here.
