Why Culture?
ASSALAMUALAIKUM!
So... Why
culture?
You must be
wondering why we chose culture to be the theme for this blog. Well of course
the first reason is because this is our course assessment and we have to write
about culture whether we like it or not. But seriously, don’t you think that
culture is very interesting?
Every each of us has our own cultures. Every country has their own cultures, every society has their own cultures and even every family have their own cultures, and it is called sub cultures. For example, we, Afiqah and Aminah have our own cultures. Afiqah is from Seremban, Negeri Sembilan and Aminah is from Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu. We are all different in the aspect of culture, but that difference that makes us to know each other better and be closer.

The aspect
of culture is very wide. Communication, values and beliefs, norms and customs,
rules and codes and many more are included in the culture. Food, clothes,
festival, celebrations, you name it, they are all under culture. Isn’t that so exciting??
So, other
than the reason of the course assessment, we want to do this blog because of
our interests and the adventure that we will discover! Okay, that sounds so
cliché. Haha. Anyway, we cannot wait to start the journey! Yes, our very own
journey, Afina’s Journey! Yay!
Furthermore, we are more excited when we know
that we have to collaborate with one international student from IIUM to share
experience and knowledge about his or her culture with our culture, Malaysia! All of the sharing information and experience we will then write them down in
Afina’s Journey and that is why this blog is called Afina’s Journey on Cultural
Diversity. Hehe, we are so thrilled to find the international student on our
own. We hope there will be no problem with finding one. Pray for us!

Salam Afina! I would like to ask, what are the most distinctive differences between the cultures practiced in Terengganu and Negeri Sembilan? I mean, basically we are Malays..so what makes you guys different from one another?

Hello Atirah and Syuhaidah! :) From how I've been living in Negeri Sembilan, the most distinctive difference we have here is that in Negeri Sembilan, there are Adat Perpatih and Adat Temenggong which I believe came from Indonesia. Meanwhile, for Terengganu's customs, I can say that their traditional practice is quite similar with other states. It's just their dialect that caught most of our attention, I guess. Hehe
DeleteI would like to add Afiqah's points. In Negeri Sembilan like Afiqah has said, there are Adat Perpatih and Adat Temenggong. In Terengganu, we only have Adat Temenggong. As far as I concerned, Afiqah's family uses the Adat Temenggong. Furthermore, I believe Negeri Sembilan also has its own dialect, same as Terengganu although it is completely different. Most importantly, our culture is very different in terms of language, food and etc. thanks for visiting our blog! Do visit us again =)
