Tahlil

Assalamu'alaikum semua!

Syukur Alhamdullillah, finally found some time to update this blog. Sorry for being MIA!

Continuing from the last event posted, here's the post for the event after Ma'al Hijrah. We had a tahlil event (the reason shall not be disclosed).

The venue this time is not Hull Road. A change of scenery for once :) The venue was in Study Pod 1 in Heslington East! Woot woot! So to most of us, who rarely have any business in the east campus, that was their first time in a study pod. Pretty cool huh? It's literally like modern version of 'Kampong Ayer'. Which is pretty awesome.

Since the secretary didn't bring her camera (again =.=) the only photos available from the event are those taken by our president (thank you!)

Notice the girls at the back. Trololololol. And look at our treasurer! epic XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Way to go Jas

And finally, a decent picture of everyone who attended

We really appreciate our Malaysian friends who came to the tahlil event. Thank you so much you guys! *kissus kissus* 

XOXO

Sambutan Awal Tahun Hijrah

Assalamu'alaikum everyone!

Back with news/story of our Sambutan Awal Tahun Hijrah. Finally able to set aside time to post this :(

Our sambutan was held at Hull Road on Friday, 24th October. The majlis started with bacaan doa, followed by sembahyang Maghrib berjemaah. Then bacaan Surah Yaasin and then sembahyang isya' berjemaah. Of course after all that, it's dinner time. Woot woot!

Apologies! The secretary did not take pictures of the Bruneians during the bacaan doa or when they were reading Surah Yaasin. But during that time, look at the two right feet owned by two committee members. Guess who? XD

The Bruneians guys in York. Macam tangga kamu ah (You guys are like stairs). HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Missing Jason in the picture :(

The guys of Brunei York Society! All five are here now :)

Awww! them cuties :3

Patriotic President XD

Group photo! Missing our religious officer though! :( But thanks to her, we were able to do a group photo! so thank you! :D

LOVE this picture! You three chemists are funny XD I shall anticipate more of these sort of pictures XD

:) In action

Esehmen! Our religious officer looking fine XD

Ninja >:)

Everyone wanted to play games. Guess you guys enjoyed the games during Hari Raya Haji :D. So here are pictures of us playing a game of chinese whispers :)

Here we played a modified chinese whispers; it's a drawing relay where the person at the very end had to guess what the drawing is. It's funny to watch all the changes that took place! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! XD

After the games were over, it's back to the usual social :)

The last picture for the day :)

Yay! Thankfully this time I can fit a lot of pictures all at once. Although personally I don't mind making a part two. LOL. Guess that's it. Sorry, there were no pictures of food. We had profiteroles. Yum! And Insya Allah, for the next event, which is Brunei Night/Game Night, I'll try to post on the blog as soon as I can. :)

SEA Event

Assalamu'alaikum semua!

Syukur Alhamdulillah, photos coming your way dear readers. HOHOHOHOHOHO! Unfortunately, contrary to the previous post, this will be a short post :(  So! Starting the post with pictures where I left off.

So this is group 4 (which if you recall, is a combination of members from groups 4 and 5). They're the winners for tonight's games, beating group 2 during the last quiz round making it a close win by one point difference! Too bad group 2, it must have been tough on you :(  But congratulations group 4! (You lucky bunch). Hope you guys enjoyed the biscuits (which is their prize, yum!).

Here's a picture of all the Bruneians who came. Yay to you guys for making it to the event. XD This is the only good picture I have of all the Bruneians so please bear with the ceiling in the picture. XD

Well, that's actually it though....I feel like I've been trolled now because the so called continuation of the SEA Event post has only two pictures, making it a short post. Hope I didn't get your hopes up during the last post, or that'll mean disappointment for some of you guys. XD Anyways, that's all for now. Insya Allah, the next event posted in the blog will be the Ma'al Hijrah celebration which will take place on 24th October 2014 this coming Friday (week 4 of Autumn Term). Bah, nanti lagi. (well, until next time)

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

Vice president and treasurer of Brunei Society in black with the treasurer of Vietnam Society. By the way, I think this is the first picture of the treasurer posted in this blog. Congrats Jason for making it into the blog! You finally agree to take a picture! XD

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I think I've reached the limit for posting photos. I can't upload any more photos in this blog post but fear not! I shall post the rest in the next post :) Please look forward to the next post. 'Twas a fun night it be. Yes, 'twas nais. Well, until next time :)

XOXO
