Treasure Box

To celebrate 2017 International Education Week at Olympic College, the Office of

International Education & Study Abroad, and the Multicultural and Student pro-

grams proudly sponsored and organized the Annual Global Night. The event was an

extraordinary opportunity for attendants and team members to learn and appre-

ciate the culturally diverse community at OC, including traditional fashion show,

and cultural performances with songs, music, dance, and more. Students and staff

who come from various diverse backgrounds cooperated with each other to rep-

resent their own distinctive culture and provided us a wonderful show. We would

like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out to support the An-

nual Global Night. We appreciate the time, effort, and skills of the team mem-

bers. The student performing groups were excellent and the audience turnout

was great. Thank you very much to the host families who came and support

their homestay students. We are very grateful for every help and support that

we have received from the beginning. We would also like to thank all the de-

partments in Olympic College that was involved with the event. -Truc & Afiq

In this issue, we’ll be featuring some of the

mouth-watering breakfast in Malaysia!

Nasi lemak is a rice

dish cooked in coconut

milk and served with a

spicy paste called sam-

bal, peanuts, fried an-

chovies and eggs/fried chicken. Traditionally, it is

often served on banana leaf.

Roti canai is handmade flat

bread, served with curry or

dhal soup. It is really easy

to find roti canai in any

parts of Malaysia. It is often

eaten with hot milk tea as drink.

On December 1st, International Club held a bowling event at All

Stars Casino and Lanes in Silverdale. It was a fun session for us be-

cause finals was just around the corner. As Most of us wanted to

relieve the stress, we participated in the bowling event. Everyone

had fun especially those who scored strikes during the game. We

also had pizzas and soft drinks served. Some enjoyed the food

while some enjoyed the games. Most importantly, everyone en-

joyed spending time together. It was a memorable experience and I

hope more club members can enjoy the events in the future! -Afiq-
