1 Malaysia

Selamat Hari Raya - Hari Malaysia - Mooncake festival

One festival after another. Everyone is enjoying celebrating all this festivals. I guess when it comes to holiday and foods, we really lived up to the title of 1 Malaysia.

But I have been thinking lately that we should just called ourselves bangsa Malaysia. Not Cina, Indian, Melayu, dan Lain-lain. Then, we will begin to see that eventhough we are different in skin colours, culture and religion but we are still one. One in Malaysia.

Well eventhough now the Hari Malaysia is still very new to the West Malaysian people but not the East Malaysian. I believe it is a good move to acknowledge the day that Malaysia inclusive of Semenanjung, Sabah and Sarawak is formed. :D Bit by bit, probably the concept of 1 Malaysia will be achieved. God has a bigger plan for Malaysia which is so rich in culture and people.

Mooncake festival

For this mooncake festival, my friends and I have decided to cook and enjoy a little makan session together. It was fun. Our menu for the day was: Salsa (tomatoes, mangoes, cucumbers, and tomatoes sauce) and chacos, cheese mashed pototoes with ham, pasta with bolognese, tong yuen with peanut and chocolate fillings, watermelons and longan drinks.
