What can be more exciting as a Malaysian other than being able to promote and showcase our own culture to people of the continent of the world?

On November 11th, I was directly involved with holding the first ever Malaysian Games Festival at Rutgers University, New Brunswick campus along with my fellow Malaysian family from the Rutgers Malaysian Students Association.

Basically, we revived many exciting traditional and contemporary Malaysian games back from our childhood times such as gasing, congkak, ceper, teng teng, lastik, batu seremban, eraser war and else! We started discussing and preparing ourselves for the events almost a month before the event and I must say that it was quite a success as we received a higher number of attendees than expected!

I was in charge of the Ceper booth!

This is Chan trying out to make an angle shot by using his left hand to bounce off the bottle cap to the target!

This is me demonstrating the catching part to Steven, who happened to be our magician. The funny thing is, I dropped the bottle caps and yea that explains why we were laughing x)

Did I mentioned that we also had Pepsi Cola? It was one of the most participated games because it seemed that people actually love stepping on other's shoes! In the picture, we were among the last survivors. Who won the round? Well, make a guess!

This is Andrew! One of the highlight of our guests on the night as he was seen trying out all sort of games! Including Ceper! He almost beat me back then, and I didn't even make it easy or such!

Me, Ashwin and Syukri. People said that we are triplets! Well, it can't be helped! I guess we do resemble one another a little bit.........................Or not!

Here is our famous Congkak booth!

Aiming like a pro? Well, he is! This is our lastik booth! It might seem easy at first but believe me, it's not!

Look at that joyous face! He was able to spin the big Gasing, something that even I sometimes find it hard to do. He deserved the pleasure of it!

Check out our Guli booth! You actually need to knock your opponent's guli by throwing one from a distance! It's not gonna be as easy as you might expect!

The RUMysa family plus several loyal people who are always there with us that we consider them to be part of our Malaysian Family. Haha. I personally love everyone here. We are like a family, who will be there for one another through thick and thin.
