DeepaRaya

As everyone knows, it was Hari Raya on Sunday. Instead of the Kongsi Raya that we had few years back, we had a DeepaRaya celebration.

My house mates stayed up till 2-3am in the morning cooking rendang, sent from Malaysia by their parents, while listening to some Hari Raya songs downloaded from the internet.

Well, personally I won't think that there'll be such a celebration if the ambassador wasn't changed more than half a year ago. And the new ambassador happens to be an Indian!

So on Sunday he had an open house and invited everyone to go. We, as loyal faithful Malaysian, went to visit his home, for the free food of course. I don't think that most of the people who were there would be there if not for the food.
It's no surprise actually, after all we wouldn't know what to talk about with him.

It was not that bad after all. Met some other Malaysians who came by themselves under the scholarship provided by some Korean (art?)university .
The food was filling, BUT I was actually hoping for more than what was served. But what can you expect when you have a party organized by someone who doesn't eat beef and most of the people that come doesn't eat pork?
