Comments:

i missed e opening dances cos dtg lambat
i was told e performance starts at 7 but i assumed "ala, mesti ikut malaysian time.kalo pukul 7 mesti nanti start at 7.30 or sth"..i was wrong!!!
haha under ope's supervision everything works out as planned.
i dont really like the play though.. it's a good play actually.. byk maksud tersirat..
unfortunately like the name of the event suggest (MALAYSIAN NIGHT) i was hoping it will reflect more of malaysian culture..
tapi sayang sgt, the play x memaparkan ciri2 masyarakat malaysia pon! 0)
and surprisingly ramai gak omputeh dtg..
its a shame sbb diorg dpt picture yg salah ttg masyarakat malaysia..
hmm the dikir was really good..
my housemate moon,azie and dina sume bersemangat berdikir..
and my adek2 nina,farah and shake pon nmpk enjoy performing e dikir..
all in all, i dont really enjoy e malaysian night..
i dunno, maybe becos i was hoping it will be better than last year..
my expectation supersedes my perception! kalo ikutkan awal2 lg malas nk gi..
i have nothing to look fwd to..
my bestfrens from lancaster are not coming...
but who cares kan! e main reason i came was to give moral support to my adek2 and housemate..
and they really2 did a good job! congrats peeps! luv u all...
