Halo everyone. I had never expect such a big surprise at OSU. When you don't expect anything, you will be greatly surprised. Thank you to our dearest President of MASA OSU (Malaysian Students Association of The Ohio State University) for this lovely surprise. I don't know what to say but Thank You, Prez. Dee. 

As usual, I went to MASA EXCO monthly meeting. I thought we were going to discuss about events of the month. However, the surprise began with a challenge, given by Prez. Dee. We had no meeting. We were given 4 envelopes with different tasks in it. We need to have integration and accomplish this mission as a team. I was like OK, we are going to have something special for our last monthly meeting. I was quite excited about the task of each envelop, and not expecting anything other than that. So, we began our first challenge which was to say out loud the Rukun Negara (National Principles). I freaked out, I seriously can't remember anything except "Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan". Haha. I will definitely fail the first task if I was alone. Thanks to Google and the great team, we came out with the idea that someone leading us to read out the lines and we did it. It took us some time to figure out the tripod and camera thing, but we were good. Just in case, you forget about the Rukun Negara of Malaysia. Here it is: 

KEPERCAYAAN KEPADA TUHAN;

KESETIAAN KEPADA RAJA DAN NEGARA;

KELUHURAN PERLEMBAGAAN;

KEDAULATAN UNDANG-UNDANG;

KESOPANAN DAN KESUSILAAN

Next, we had to sing "Untukmu Malaysia" which we had been practicing for our Malaysian Cultural Night performance . Surprisingly the result ended up to be good! Then, we had photo-shooting session at the south oval.

Can you see the word we are trying to say? 

 successful one !

I am so grateful to be part of this awesome team! 

Lastly, as we are Buckeyes, we were assigned to shout "OH" at the center of Ohio Union. YOLO~~~ Luckily, I was not alone, abo I will be very paisei (shy). When we shouted "OH", Prez. Dee out of no where suddenly shouted back "IO" at us. WOHOOO!!! Prez. Dee~~~~  

We managed to complete the challenge. Check out this video to see us in the challenge. 

The surprise was not over yet. After taking photos, Prez. Dee asked us to be faster, we walked up the stairs. Prez. Dee lead us the way to the Ohio Staters Inc. Traditional Room. DADADA Danng! The surprise. The room was set up in fine dining setting. WOOOHOOO. I was stunned. My mouth opened so wide. It was a really really lovely dinner at the Ohio Union.
