Anak Malaysia

Proudly presented by Dua Space.

Anak Malaysia

'Anak Malaysia' tells the history of the ancestors of Malaysian Chinese, moving south from China, arriving in then Malaya, and how they survived and prospered, finally making Malaya, and Malaysia, their motherland.

Saw the whole performance and I was amazed. I think it's the best than the other performances Dua Space presented. The whole thing was wonderful. Simply beautiful.

Here's the synopsis for the story.

During the 19th century, many Chinese people had to leave their homelands due to the poor condition of China. Among these people, the eldest son of family Yap, Choong Boon brought along his younger brothers. Xiao Boon and Ren Boon, and his younger sister, Ai Boon, together with their little chamberlain, Fu Hoong, the adopted child of family Yap, to seek for their livings in Nan Yang. The family Kong asked Choong Boon to take care of their children, Shu Yi and Tian Yi. On the same voyage, there are Chen Juinn Yee, Loke Nian San and the depressed Liew Vui Ngee. Before the departing, parents of family Yap gave their children a handmade brocade bag embroidered with their surname "Yap", hoping that their children would be safe together forever.

The whole performance consist 81 dancers and singers. Everyone was doing a good job. I like the singers :D

It all started with an emotional scene where the Yap siblings were seperated from their parents. There's a part where I can hold back my tears. I wonder did my grandfather experienced all this.

The dancers were doing a good job too. All the dancers performed perfectly together and full with emotions and expressions. It's like their really going through the up and downs in this story.

After the survivors reached Malaya, the met the villagers and decided to make Malaya their new home. Then, Choong Boon got married with Shu Yi and had a baby. After she gave birth, her tummy was back to it's original size LOL.

Everything was going well but the Japanese attacked. But it only lasted a while and in the end, Malaya was independent. Yay, happy ending. I clapped my hands until my hands were in pain. I never clapped like that before. :D

It was splendid. Maybe Dua Space can present a better performance next time :)

Ah, by next year, I will be in Dua Space for 10 years. It's my another home <3

Thoughts about HTTYD: The Hidden World

Image
On the first of February, I went to the cinema with my brother and a close friend of mine to watch How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. It's the third and last film for the almost decade-long series. If you didn't know or aren't my Twitter follower, I am a huge fan of HTTYD. I became so impatient when they wouldn't enter the theatre on time. I kept mentioning that I waited five years for this, and I didn't want to miss any second of it. We did miss a few seconds of the movie because I went to the bathroom. After the movie ended and the credits started to roll, I didn't really know how to feel about the movie. I told myself some time to gather my thoughts about the movie. I wrote my first draft while I was celebrating Chinese New Year in my hometown, but I had to stop myself to think about it again. I'm wondering if I should watch the movie again and think it through but I don't know when the movie will be available for streaming so I

The Handsome Side Of Biology.

Image
LOOKEY GRAY FULLBUSTER IS LOOKING AT ME < 3 --- I once gave that title (look at blog post title) to my tuition teacher who taught us Biology, but he doesn't know that. Mr Jay (not his real name) teaches Biology (duh) at ERA for I don't know how many years and among all the teachers, he's the youngest I think. I can say he's quite good looking and he has a great personality. I first saw him when I went to a seminar for PMR. I was sitting far away so I couldn't really see his face. I just remembered he made us laugh a lot and no doubt, he's good at what he's doing. He works at the hospital too. When I came into Form 4, I attended his class and yeah, I thought he was handsome. Lots of girls liked his looks and even Mr Ding, the owner of ERA said he is handsome. A couple of my friend went crazy over him. I got over it after a few weeks. HE'S A TEACHER COME ONNN. So anyway, yesterday was our last class, you could say. Mr Jay never came on

Ballet Grade 6

Having my Grade 6 examination soon. Makes me go nervous AHHHH. Grade 6 isn't children grade anymore, it's a performance grade, where you seriously need facial expression, eye focus and blah blah blah. Just like what my teacher says. Everything need to be done, performance-y. I had two regrets during this grade. ONE. I choose PINK for my leotard instead of BLUE! I have always loved the colour pink. If it's possible, I would choose pink every time. But this time, I preferred blue much more than pink. The reason I wanted blue because I wanted to choose the Free Movement dance, so I thought. Maybe, if I choose blue, it will be more nicer than pink. And it looks more. MORE NICE LOL. When all of us were making final decisions, I heard the pianist said : "If you pick blue and dancing Free Movement, it will be like water flowing around. It will definitely look great. " Oh, that really, really brighten up my day x) But no, my own teacher took away my confidence >___>
