Pesta Kokurikulum (Day 2)

It was the opening ceremony for the Pesta Kokurikulum this afternoon. (It's so weird that the Pesta started yesterday yet its opening ceremony is today!)

I went there as my lecturer made the opening ceremony at 3pm and closing ceremony at night compulsory for us. Then I have my duty for the exhibition booth from 5-7pm. So I just stayed there from 3pm till night.

The air-conditioner in the hall is really very freaky superb! I was almost frozen to death inside the hall even though I was wearing my thick jacket!

There were more visitors compared to yesterday. I spent my evening and night there. Anyway, I did not waste the trip. I had fun there with my friends =)

Here are some photos taken at the exhibition booths...

Jawi writing looks interesting to us. Its calligraphy is even more complicated. They use a pen made by bamboo (being cut into the shape of a pen with special angle at the tip) and also ink. Anyway, there are some ready-made marker pen available too in the market.

Well, its booth is just next to us. So we had the ladies at the booth to show us some simple Jawi writing. It's really not easy, but interesting and fun!

My Malay friends told me that it is actually very hard to make Jawi calligraphy as to write it in normal way (paper and pen or pencil) is already quite difficult, as they seldom use the language.

This is a nice picture that I like a lot. You can see the harmony scene in understanding each other's culture between different ethnics. So there is really no need to specially publish a book named "Ethnics' Relationship" for undergraduates. Just do not set up too many regulations from stopping us to exchange our values and culture. And please do not make it sound so sensitive when it comes to things about different ethnics. Problems will only occur when there is no understanding.

Here is a photo of my fellow coursemates who are also taking the same co-curricular subject with me. From left behind is Azah and MeiLing, from left in front is Azilah and me.

I spent some time translating and writing out their name into chinese words as we were too bored at the exhibition booth during dinner time as there were very less visitiors then. (And they wanted their chinese names to be written properly on the paintings that given from the people-in-charge of the chinese water color painting booth!)

It's kinda difficult but interesting to let them understand a little bit about chinese words. And they do think that chinese words are beautiful!!

There was a competition for stage performance among puppet theatre, Chinese dance, traditional dance and Indian classic dance. Here are some photos taken during the stage performance session at night...


Praktik Dikir Barat

The story for the puppet theatre is kinda ridiculous and meaningless. They played a show entitled "Cinta Lanun" (Pirates Romance). Frankly speaking, their puppets are not really well-made but they are just so cute.

Anyway, the actors were able to bring a merry and cheerful atmosphere for the night. It brought a lively opening to the performance session.


Chinese Dance


Traditional Dance


Indian Classic Dance

It was about 10pm when the festival came to an end. The winner for the stage performance goes to Indian classic dance AGAIN!! (Ya, they win the champion in every semester!)

Had all of my paintings including those drawn during class back after the exhibition. There are all my hard work!
