neways last sunday, malam gemilang merdeka 51 tahun was held at Dom Polski, Adelaide. n wif respect to dat, i joined d dikir barat team to perform dat nite. ;)

last week was sure a super bz week for me indeed with dikir practise every nite but it was worth d experience tho'! =D really had fun in practising the moves n stuffs besides gettin to eat free pizza everyday [ok, xdela everyday. 2-3 days ade la skali. hihi] after practise. ngee. =P

on d big day, we had rehearsal at noon n after dat, went to Hola's house for mihun goreng! thanx! it was delicious, seriously! =)

we just cant get enuf of dikir!

went to rundle mall after rehearsal coz ade org tu mintak tolong bg opinion nk beli handbag yg mane satu. haha. =P aih, hepi gle la org tuh balik2 ade handbag baru. bukan calang2 bag, bag yg berharga *tuuuuuuuuuuutttt* pulak tu. haha.

then went to kak bash's studio for makeup. kene keje jadi mak andam jap dat nite since i had to put on makeups for 4 ppl in 1.5 hours. hoho. gle x sempat. naseb smpai blk Dom Polski on time jek. ngeee.

dikir barat was d 1st performance for dat nite. time beratur tepi dewan nak masuk tu, owh nervous gle okay! naseb baek the microphone stand wasnt in front of me during d actual show coz time rehearsal, it was. n mase bangun, i banged my head wif it! adei. =P

okay, now i know wht do i hve to do when i cudnt get to sleep. seriously it works! well, at least for me it does! haha.
simple. all i need to do is just open the thermodynamics textbook and read a few pages. in like 5 mins or so, i'll b happily wandering around in my soo-called illusive dreams.
haish. stress btul.

well, here i am, trying to wipe out the sleepy feeling i had from reading that fantastic txtbook.
haish. bile nk tobat ni yana oi. keje x siap lagik, lagha balek.

neways, since i've already uploaded d dance n dikir barat vids during last week's msian carnival, i'll just update bout d event here then.

it was a great event indeed! seriously d best part was simply d fabulous foods that were sold! =D roti jala, nasi kerabu, nasi lemak, kuey-teow goreng. well, u name any! even cendol n dadih pun ade. ngehehe.
owh n ya, i din know dat d kueh roti mini yg bentuk mcm pau n ade sambal kat tgh tu is called as 'burger msia'. haha. sdap2! bought it twice lagi tu. =D



n not to 4get, d performances were great as well!
1st was d malaysian traditional dance. great job guys! it really was a fantastic show, even tho da actually hafal da steps korang sume. (evryday watched em practise. haha. =P)

(cewaah. tetibe patriotik plak.haha)

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.

hasbi's car b4 pulang~! thanx for the ride neways..;)

merdeka month

i guess its been ages since i last wrote something here. ;p yela, dulu laptop rosak, bile dah dpt temporary laptop, there's a bunch whole lot of assignments and work to be done pulak. neways, during bulan august, so much events happened. it was merdeka month, n the events pun obviously yg ade kaitan ngan merdeka.

every fridays in august, ade jualan bbq kat uni lawns. n one of the fridays, ade malaysian carnival. jual2 m'sian foods n also promoting tahun visit m'sia 2007. foods were nice (kuey teow goreng, nasi beriani, sate, kueh-mueh, roti jala, nasi ayam, nasi lemak, etc) even though ade yg very expensive. sate 1 cucuk 1 dolar. adei. mahal giler~!

as for the last saturday, which is on the 25th, there was Merdeka Amazing Race. 15 groups participated and my group managed to get number three. yeheee~! ;) the race was really fun n also exhausting! ppl were like staring at us when we ran across streets. haha. ade once tu, we asked this couple where this one place was. n couple tu siap nak offer lift lagi. hehe~ at the 3rd checkpoint which is at Marion Shopping Centre, we received a task to find the price of a list of items. i think that was the best n fun task out of 4 tasks. it was really challenging nk carik items tuh n also macam2 ragam salesperson kat every kedai yg kitorang masuk tuh. ade yang siap bwk tunjuk satu2 kat mane brg2 tuh sume. ade yg siap tolong carik sama2, etc.

at the barr smith lawns just b4 the race

okay, enuf of that, yesterday 30th august ade countdown merdeka + bbq + upacara penyampaian hadiah. well, it was quite fun even though it was rainy n we had d bbq under the rain. huhu~
