The Singaporeans Visit

Singaporean delegates are visiting our school since last Monday. They only confirmed us about it last week and our chief wanted us to prepare this and that in less than a week! Our school was preparing both school-based and outdoor activities. The school-based included Debate Competition (which the Bruneians won! :p), traditional games (the Singaporeans made kites, played tinting and simban and many more games), making Brunei dishes (they tried preparing Ambuyat and Kelupis), Cultural Night Show, the Technology Challenge and friendly sports match.

I was in-charged of the Cultural Night Show where I trained 20 students performing a Lela Menchanai Theatre and a traditional dance; Chabok-Chabok Bertali Rambai. Other officers did other performances like drama, koir, nasyid, hadrah (a traditional musical instrument), several other traditional dances, syair and poems. 15 performances altogether that night, with Singaporean students performing two; Dikir Barat and syair.

Among these things, we also hosted several functions within the week so it's been very hectic. With only 3 days of intensive training, the Cultural Night Show was a success! Everyone had a job well done! I wouldn't say much here as I need the lil bit of my energy left to do the 'untouched' work later.

Thank God it's a holiday this Saturday! It means, we're going to have a 3-day off this weekend!! Yeaahooo!!! :D Well, people!! Enjoy the pictures! ;)

=== After the play. Phew!! What a relief!! There were some technical problems that night but the performers did their best. Turned out to be, the audience loved our performance and overlooked the problems on stage. Glad they loved it! :) ===
