10.11.12 Nottingham Games


The magnificent Nottingham Malaysian Games 2012!!


Did you ever go to NMG when you are studying in the UK?
No?? How dare you!!
It is the biggest Malaysian sports event in the UK!!
Most of the Malaysian great players, foods and performance were present in this event~


Well... HKMaS had organised a trip to NMG. Due to the long distance, we departed really early 5:30am to just to make sure that we could be there in time for the games. It was a shame though that we did not make it in time for the grand opening ceremony. 

This time, we sent three different teams to participate in NMG, which is:
  • Batu Seremban: Lee Cheng Yie 
  • Table Tennis: Ong Ru Shan
  • Netball: Susan Arleen Baskaran, Har Hor Kar, Preshana Kailainathan, Phei Ng, Nur Saliha Shastry Ali, Aida Adha Shastry Ali, Wong Su Li. 
Tadah!! Our Netball Team!! Aza aza Fighting!!

What impressed me was, most of the sport teams were very professional. Some of them were even the state representative or Sukma players back home. That's why, watching the matches in NMG was awesome.



Besides, the Malaysian Food Festival was great and tempting. There were a lot of stalls selling a variety of Malaysian food such as nasi lemak, satay, nasi minyak, apam balik and so on. They were all very delicious!! Normally the meal price was around 4-5pound. Maybe it would be very expensive comparing to Malaysia Ringgit, but if you miss home so much, this doesn't cost you a lot per meal.

Not only food and games, there was also some performance. This was a performance of 24-style drum from the student of University of Liverpool. Wasn't that cool??


It was a very fruitful day for everyone of us. Food, matches and performance. We then left Nottingham at 6:30pm. Before leaving, we managed to take a group photo!!! Hurrays for NMG 2012 trip by HKMaS!!!
