25th Pesta Ang Pow 2019...

Hello everybody, it's me, Ah Wong again here to update my blog. Today I'm going to share a brief experience of mine in 25th of Pesta Ang Pow 2019 (Pesta Ang Pow is one of the largest Chinese event in UKM). The night dinner was on 9th of March at Dectar, UKM. It has been a month ago story already...

This year's pesta ang pow night dinner theme was based on "δΉ‘" (Hometown). It had expressed the importance of preserving each and every of our own roots of Chinese dialect culture culture. There were various booths which were describing and depicting each of the Chinese dialect culture in a bid of deepening the visitors' understanding of their own Chinese dialect culture.

Then, its dishes were from 5 major Chinese culture groups as well. There were consist of 8 dishes in this night dinner at Dectar (Dewan Chancellor Tun Abdul Razak), UKM mainly from Min Nan Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka and Foochow Chinese. Unfortunately, I was working as a normal working committee (AJK, Ahli Jawatankuasa) there, so I couldn't taste the delicacies lah...

Nevertheless, I am cherished that I was just being a normal working committee of that event. As compared to the Executive committees, working committees' workloads and responsibilities are lesser than the former ones. Working committee just have to assist the Excos to do their job only...

Oh yeah, I almost forgotten to mention that our Malaysian current Transportation Minister YB Anthony Loke who is also an Alumnus of UKM had also presented there. He had managed to spare out his time to mingle with us, UKM Students in Dectar and gave a speech there which drew cheers and applauds from the crowds there...

Last but not least, it also had made a Chinese dialect singing competition a month before the event too. This singing competition was made to remind us that the usage of Chinese Dialects were fading day by day, therefore it was the time to uphold that spirit of gradually using Chinese Dialect in our daily life ocassionally. I had participated in that competition too, however, I didn't manage to get the first till the third place lah... In short, this year's Pesta Ang Pow night dinner was all about the hometown and Chinese Dialects cultures.

Here are a few of the photos that I had taken in Dewan Cancelor Tun Abdul Razak on 9th of March 2019.
