Merdeka Potluck in Our HQ Office
Celebrating Merdeka is always a blast, especially when it involves food, friends, and fun! This year, our HQ office turned into a vibrant hub of flavors and laughter as we hosted a Merdeka potluck that truly showcased the spirit of togetherness.
A Fun Quiz to Spice Things Up
Before feasting on such a delightful spread, it’s time to engage our brains! We gathered around for a fun-filled quiz using Kahoot, adding a competitive edge to the celebrations. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as we answered questions ranging from trivia about Malaysia to fun facts about our office and colleagues.
It was heartwarming to see everyone so engaged, laughing and cheering each other on. The quiz was not just a test of knowledge; it was a chance to bond, share a few laughs, and maybe even discover some surprising talents among our teammates. There’s something special about a little friendly competition that brings people closer together, and our potluck was no exception.
A Feast for Everyone
The excitement was palpable as everyone prepared their dishes to bring. We had an incredible variety of food that turned our office into a mini food festival. Imagine the tantalizing aroma wafting through the air as we gathered around the table, ready to share our culinary creations.
From pizza that oozed melted cheese to donuts that were simply irresistible, there was something for every palate. Each dish told a story—of family recipes passed down through generations, of culinary adventures, or simply of a love for good food.
Of course, what’s a potluck without a refreshing drink? Our tables overflowed with air kotak in various flavors, quenching our thirst and keeping the festive spirit alive. We even had an assortment of kuih-muih that added a delightful touch of tradition to the feast, from sweet to savory, each bite was a little piece of heaven.
And let’s not forget the satay! Skewers of marinated meat grilled to perfection, served with that delicious peanut sauce—just thinking about it makes my mouth water! Accompanying the satay were the crispy keropok, including fan favorites like Mister Potato chips, providing the perfect crunch to complement our flavorful dishes.
Celebrating August Babies
As if the potluck wasn’t enough to celebrate, we also took the time to honor our August babies—Kak Alya and Syafiq! With a cake that was just as delicious as the food on our tables, we sang a heartfelt birthday song, wishing them joy and happiness in the year ahead.

The Spirit of Merdeka
This Merdeka potluck wasn’t just about the food; it was about coming together as a team, celebrating our diverse cultures, and appreciating what makes us unique. Each dish represented a part of our heritage, a story waiting to be told, and in sharing our food, we shared a piece of ourselves
As we gathered around, sharing laughs and stories, it was a beautiful reminder of what Merdeka truly means—freedom, unity, and togetherness. This spirit resonated throughout our office, making our potluck not just an event, but a memorable experience.
Looking Ahead
As the day came to a close, we reflected on the joyous moments we shared. It wasn’t just a celebration of Malaysia's independence; it was a celebration of our teamwork, our diversity, and the bonds we’ve formed.
The laughter, the delicious food, the quiz, and the heartfelt birthday wishes all blended into an unforgettable day. We left with full bellies, happy hearts, and a renewed sense of camaraderie that would carry us through the challenges ahead.
Here’s to many more potlucks filled with laughter, delicious food, and shared memories! Merdeka is not just a day on the calendar; it’s a celebration of our journey together as a team. Until next time, let’s keep the spirit of Merdeka alive in everything we do!
