1. Back in the States, when we first arrived to TU, we were the only Malaysian. There were only 9 of us, where the last group of Malaysian was last seen 10 years ago (so we were told).
2. Since there were quite a few of us did not speak English very well, and clubbing was not really our thing, what we did was we gathered around at a place every weekends (mostly).
3. At the gatherings, we cooked-ate together, played stupid games and gossiping. After a while, we got the courage and started to go global. We invited international friends; Indonesian, Kazakhs, Americans, Oman's, Saudis and etc. We got the upper hand since most of the geniuses were from our group (lol). Since then, it became our thing.
4. After backed for good, when we started to have our own lives, it kinda felt incomplete. Personally, I always reminisced the good old days. Others felt the same. So, we try so hard to book our own time, for the mini gatherings. Plus, it is a good social-activity, especially for the kids.
5. Honestly speaking, I tried to expand the members by inviting others. Unfortunately, this culture is still not suitable for some of us. Some only meet-up for business purposes (MLM), some argues/fights for the super-duper nice
places, some questions for the 'hidden' objective of the meeting (refer to the first point), and some feels involuntarily. Ppfftt!!!
It's okay, we go conventionally. May it bring good and berkat for all of us.
