Colours of Malaysia 2011...

Last week the Edinburgh Malaysian Student's Association organised the 5th (if i remember correctly.. if not the the 5th then the 7th ._. ) Colours of Malaysia event... games, food, performances, showcasing Malaysia's culture.... but of course, the main reason i went was for the food :3

anyways!

There was quite a variety of food available... chicken rice, nasi lemak, fried bihun, milo, onde-onde, agar-agar, red bean soup!! , curry, penang laksa, prawn cucur ..etc..
I only had a 5 pound coupon to spend so i had chicken rice, fried bihun i tapau-ed, one piece of prawn cucur which was not worth it at all hrmph... and red bean soup which was very worth it :)

I was a little bit disappointed with the event to be honest... it felt like the venue was too small.. it was very cramped.. and for me it was a little too informal.. a friend told me she felt it probably wasn't meant to be too formal but had more of a carnival feel.. but i still felt like.. even if it was supposed to be like a carnival... it didn't explain the emcees' extent of informal-ness.....
would you make a kinda "inside joke" statement on stage when there are so many people who are not within your circle/would not understand your statement attending the event? -.- ...
the good thing was, quite a few non-malaysians attended the event and they enjoyed themselves with the performances.. :)

But having said that... i enjoyed the food.. and i'm not trying to be mean and critical but.. i just wish it could've been done better so that it reflects well on our country, our people..

on a sidenote, the semester is ending soon!!!!!! feeling anxious, afraid and excited all at the same time :S
