Speaking of festivals and celebrations in Malaysia, University of Portsmouth Malaysian Society hosted a two-joined festivals combining Aidiladha and Deepavali since the date gap for both celebrations are quite near. Deeparaya was the name of the event. This event was on Saturday the 17th of November at Southsea Community Centre.
Deeparaya event was about gathering Malaysians together having the atmosphere of celebrating aidiladha and deepavali in Portsmouth. Enjoying the Malaysian foods served and having fun with the games we played was totally the reason why we're having that event. And the most important thing dressing up wearing malaysian tradisional clothes like baju melayu, baju kurung, dhoti, sari and many more!

We got around 100 +/- people attend for the Deeparaya event. Good for you if you came for it because the event was really a nice start meeting with all of you after the first event we had which was the welcoming party. The foods served on that day was seriously,superb delicious :) The main dish was nasi tomato served along with ayam masak merah and sayuran aca. It wasn't just nasi tomato as the main dish, there were actually roti canai served with kuah dal as well. Having kuih muih and cakes for desserts just made them smile even more eating.

Talking about the lovely foods, there were actually some entertainment for the audience while they were having their time eating. Definitely a few students decided to volunteer themselves to perform a mix of malay indian dancing which was fantastic. It was just seven minutes worth performance to look at i guess. Some say it was sweet, some say it was actually hilarious. What say you? :D

More and more they had fun with the games and prizes to be won. With four teams divided competing for the games given. Yes, almost everyone involved having joys and laughters trying to make the best for their teams. As usual, lucky draw is a must for this event. And not to mention, best man and woman dress of the day have prizes as well :) At the end of the day we finish the event with a photography session of the society :) the picture looked ultimately pretty and sweet as everyone wears colourful different attire. yeay!
