On the 16th of March 2017, I attended an event organised by the Ungku Omar Residential College which is Pesta Ang Pow; a branched out event from the Chinese Community Council (CCC). Every entrance fee was priced at RM6.00. The event was participated by all the Chinese of the residential college and also by several other races.
The event was held in Dewan Anuwar Mahmud, Faculty of Science and Technology from 7:00p.m. to 11:00p.m.. The event was hosted by two informal master of ceremonies from the Keris Mas Residential College. The event started by many generous giveaways of hampers and games to break the ice and to get the audiences hyped up into the mood.
Not only that, there was a lucky draw session when audiences were required to check under their seats for hidden ang pows. Audiences with the ang pows were automatically chosen for the lucky draw. There were five lucky winners and each one of them were given a huge hamper.
The event was further proceeded with performances by local celebrity Anis Aneesa who gave us a lovely surprise by belting out timeless hits in Chinese like the song "The Moon Represents My Heart". It was great to see the audiences sing along with her; her command in Chinese was very good too.
There were many other performances throughout the event like the performances of diabolo, magic show, wushu and 24 drums act. All performances were impressive especially the drums because it was performed by our very own students of National University of Malaysia from Tun Syed Nasir Residential College in Kuala Lumpur.
The event ended a little after 11:00p.m. and it was a well spent time for me. It was great to see many races coming together to celebrate a different culture and to embrace each other harmoniously.
