Assalamualaikum..as the month of Shawal approaches to it’s peak finale, the festive celebration continues even more happening everywhere around us. Open Houses here and there, with friends and relatives from afar came to visit us, it’s like a race towards the end of Shawal before Zulkaedah appear a few days from now. And to highlight the celebration even much bigger in numbers of participation, the office of TNCA which is the parent department to my office organised this wonderful event again this year. So basically every department under the administration of TNCA office must bring their own menu to the event as agreed in the meeting before this. And each department should present different menus from one another so that we could taste the variety of food on the event. For example, our office served traditional dishes such as ketupat palas, kuah kacang and serunding. While other department served local Malaysian fruits, satay, authentic kuih melayu and Nasi briyani as the main dish for that day. But there were also other menus as well which I couldn’t remembered due to limited memory I had because of too much food in the stomach which in turn made me feel so sleepy after that. 
Note to self: #dontatetoomuch!
Before the ceremony began, as a Muslim we recited together Salawat Nabi as a blessing upon the ceremony with male staff invited to the stage to brighten up the atmosphere of the celebration. Alhamdulillah. Then followed by a group photo session, speech by TNCA and of course the one thing we all waited long enough since 9:30am, the variety of food to fill in our stomach! 
. The one thing I couldn’t help but noticed on the variety of food served on the food table on each department was, the small amount quantity of food being served. I’m kind of worried though! Was it going to be enough? I guess I was wrong! Because the main dishes that day was Nasi Briyani. And once you eat Nasi Briyani as a starter, it’s difficult to eat more and more of dishes being served on the table. It means that your stomach already full with no space to bare! Gosh..that was the same classic mistake a guy could think of when he sees small amount of food on the table of each department but never realizes that it was more than enough. 
Syukur Alhamdulillah..forgive me for my childish thinking! Hehehe…
The preparation of each department to organize their table in a perfect yet unique display!
