Majlis Resak Raya'24 | Excel Activity 2 by NURULHANISA BINTI MOHD IKHSAN

1) Self-Reflection:

The "Kampung Style" event themed in the traditions of the Aidilfitri celebration was very immersive. It began with varieties of Aidilfitri delicacies, tasting the cultural food is part of the pivot moment as it represents the central role that food plays in communal bonding. The sharing of these traditional dishes celebrated the spirit of the Aidilfitri festival and created bonding among the participants especially when most of them came to celebrate with their friends and to create a memorable moment.

There was also a singing competition for Hari Raya songs to further enhance the festive atmosphere to promote the collective appreciation of cultural heritage through music. Well, for me, I honestly think that this part does not do much as I do not prefer sounds when I am enjoying my food. But I cannot deny that this would not only entertain but also remind the crowd about the spirit of Hari Raya, thus creating a most engaging and memorable experience for all especially for those who are socially active.

The lucky draw was a very exciting element that motivated everyone's active participation, making it a pleasurable event. It opened chances for guests to get involved in the program other than dining and listening to music.

The event was topped off with a very well-done fireworks display, again providing the very best visual ending of all with the festive and cheerful mood portrayed throughout. All in all, the "Kampung Style" event provided an effective mix of traditional foods, music, games, and visual entertainment toward enhancing participants' appreciation for cultural festivities and building community.
