So the other day my teacher favoured us to do this performance for our country independence day, it actually falls on the 31st of August but this is like an “opening ceremony” we been trough thick and thin,and a few arguments but it all paid off. We we’re happy seeing our juniors enjoying our performance. I must admit I screwed up a little but owh well.. I had fun doing it
Here’s an insert after the performance, I have a video but still needs editing, not everyone is in the photo most of them went back to class sadly.
The concept of the whole thing is that we want to show people that in Malaysia is democratic, we live in a multi-race country, mainly Malay, Chinese , and Indians. So we have an idea to show that although you’re Chinese but it’s okay to wear “baju kurung'(A traditional costume wore by Malays) if you’re Indian it does not mean that you can’t speak Chinese. we’re free and open minded.
The performance had a head start of a junior of mine I mean ours, a classmate speaking in “Bidayu” . And then I walk up as a friend to my classmate who I had not seen for along time and start wishing “how are you” in Chinese, he’s a non-chinesse we spent weeks teaching him to pronounce the words correctly I am proud of him, he did a great job though he has fear of walking up for public speaking but I am glad he had done what he has to.
Moving on the scene changed into a restaurant (sorta), it was played by Indians and Chinese eating. The Indian was eating some type of Chinese food and the Chinese it’s eating some type of Indian food. The Chinese saw the indian eating the chinese food that she had never seen before the indian starts telling her about the food that he’s eating. We then pull up a joke that made our juniors laughed. After the meal all of them remembered about the open house they we’re invited to. The scene of the “friend’s open house”. The environment of the house was supposed to be filled with sweets , food just like any other open house.
The performance was then closed by 3 of my classmates, they were playing the part where they we’re “practicing” for a malay poetry they have to read latter on. And one of my classmate played the role of a dude who’s always late for practice this made the junior laughed. And of they read their poem.
Cheers
