Southeast Asian Event

Assalamu'alaikum semua!

Mudahan semua sehat-sehat  ^_^ (Hope everyone is well/doing fine). It's been a long time since I've posted any Malay words in here. Gotta keep spreading awareness of our language's existence XD

Yesterday was the Southeast Asian Event. As mentioned in the last post (I hope), this event is a joint event by the existing ASEAN societies in York. Currently there are 6 ASEAN societies; Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Sadly this year we had a quota of 15 people per society. Next year hopefully there will be an increase in the quota, or if possible, no quota at all?

So the event started out with everyone going to their respective groups (groups 1-5). There was an icebreaking game where people introduce themselves, adding an adjective in front of their name. The adjective has to start with the same letter as player's name. And the next member has to repeat the first player's name (or anybody that precedes them) and then introduce themselves. Of course the last player would have to remember everyone else's names and chosen adjectives. Kesian!!!

Next came quiz round :D with questions about each country. Of course not missing a Brunei question on Ambuyat XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 'Twas fun, 'twas fun :)  Halfway into the game, was 'Alphabet Soup' where players had to spell the given word. Each player that contributed to spelling the word were awarded 1 point. After that, the quiz proceeds and again, another break in between to play another game. A game of chinese whispers :D. Then the quiz proceed and ended soon after. With group 4 winning the overall game. Group 4 was a merge of group 4 and 5, most probably because there weren't that many people in each group.

Soon after, the pizza arrives and everyone had late dinner. The rest of the night continued with members just talking and mingling with each other. Das be nais, das be nais.

So here are the pictures of the SEA event
