BOE Raya

leave was frozen due to the BOE, but the festive spirit was still very much alive... the female staff members enthusiastically dressed in their Hari Raya outfits, which naturally led to a few photo sessions... the male staff, on the other hand, came in wearing their usual attire - completely unfazed and without a single thought of taking photos... 

everyone contributed a dish, so it was essentially a potluck... I brought Miang Kham, a rather rare Thai delicacy... early that morning, I had already picked 55 kaduk leaves from my garden at home... the sauce was homemade as well, with a slight adjustment - I toned down the spiciness since not everyone can handle spicy food... a short demonstration was necessary to show the proper way to enjoy Miang Kham, and the moment was later shared in the faculty WhatsApp group, much to everyone's interest and amusement...
