Merdeka Dinner 2007

Here goes...

50 years of Merdeka

Last Saturday, 1st September 2007, the Adelaideans had a Merdeka Dinner at Dom Polski which is located somewhere in the city area. Upon reaching there, me and the others had to walk our way through the streets merentasi bangunan ini dan itu dlm kekelaman malam yg sejuk. ;p for the guys xpe la..but we girls yg pakai heels ni nak berlari catch up dgn diorg was a disaster. huhu..

neways, the night started with a lion dance and then as usual followed by speeches from vvip & vip. then, there was a multimedia presentation but bcoz the screen was soo kecik n my table was somewhere at the very back, x dpt la nk concentrate. it was then followed by a band performance which presented 'Dunia Batinku', 'Permaisuri' and 'Crumbs'. It could have been better if xde problem dgn PA system yg agak kucar-kacir that night. To see the band performance click here.

ppl started eating and bile tiba our table's turn to get food, it was really frustrating when we knew that there were no sate-s left. Ggrr.. Luckily, kueh sagu still ade. the performance for that night was continued by a sketsa which included silat performance, m'sian traditional dances, etc. To see the silat performance click here. After that, ade dikir barat. i think that was the best performance on that night. ;)

Despite of the certain problems yg mengkucar-kacirkan malam tuh, i still managed to have fun till the very end. Lagi2 la i won the 1st lucky draw for that night. hihi. it was shocking when i heard my number being called. during that time, i was with the others lining up to get food. hihi.
