guess who's back?

today was a whoopee day for moi.

y? coz i went to watch gentarasa. it's this malay contemporary dance thingie tts held annually..

FuYoO.

the only way to aptly describe it this year is GEMPAK GILER beb. or.. damn happening ah.

this year, to commemorate s'pore's 40th year of independance, the theme surrounded the advancements in the malay community. and also the potential tts not being tapped, to put it mildly. the msg was subtle, unlike the previous gentarasa production.. which left me confused, stunned and bewildered. thankfully, this was lightyears better (don't sue me for voicing my opinion) .as usual, cikgu osman's genius really shone.. it was really fantastic ah.

the starting was the normal bit for cikgu's work.. got panjat-panjat (climb here climb there), lompat-lompat (jump here jump there) and golek-golek (roll here roll there). then, things got interesting when there was a flashback to the raffles times... with all the girls doing very feminine traditional dance steps but with a modern edge..

then things got crazy when a rock guitarist appeared a-la edward van halen (can't help being olde' skool).. it was like an assault on the senses ah. but in a good way.

anw, later on, there was break dancing lah, hip hop lah, wat lah.. but everything was fused with malay dance steps ah. damn friggin genius i tell u. then, sarkasi said (a famous local batik painter) came out to spray this graffitti while ppl were dancing. actuali, i have no idea wat he painted ah.. but.. nehmind. im dumb.

it was damn shioookk ah. and a much needed facelift on a traditional malay dance performance. to the ppl involved in the production, wa caya sama lu ah beb!

aaah.. nearly 3 liao.. tmr is daddy's day!! im gonna make fish & chips.. so i have to find a nice salad recipe now..

ciao chicha!
