The Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Malaysia came to London for a 5 days event where there were stage performances including traditional, folk and contemporary Malaysian dances. In addition, there were food stalls that offer Malaysian food such as 'satay', 'ayam rendang', 'roti canai', kueh such as 'onde-onde' and Malaysian local fruits such as 'nangka', 'maggis', 'rambutan', star fruit as well as coconut drink. Not to mention that there were also traditional games and sports displayed/demonstrated such as 'congkak' and silat.
Having spent almost the whole day at the event made me miss home a little. Watching the dances and singing from the multicultural societies of Malaysia somehow affirm my beliefs that Malaysia is indeed very rich with its culture, hence makes me proud being a Malaysian.
I remembered that I was contemplating on whether to attend this event, to the extend of texting a friend, asking him whether it was really worth going. Indeed I was glad that I went and not used the wheather as an excuse. Thank you A!;)I met Malaysians on the way and at the events. Tired, but nevertheless a fruitful trip. I do have an inexplicable strange feelings of experiencing Malaysia in London. It's like in a dream or fantasy. If it was not because of the Tower Bridge over the other side of the park, I really felt like at home. Oh, how I miss Malaysia in this sense.
