This too shall pass: USMKK Chinese New Year night 2009

Chinese new year night!

For those who don't know, this event was a tradition in our campus... held every year by 2nd year seniors, but performed by 1st year juniors. It is considered the biggest event in our campus, since it involved the people all around Kelantan, mostly.

I'll cut off the part where we practised out performance almost everyday before this big event and straight to some moments of this shiny event...

All these decorations, props and stuffs were started to prepare few months ago. Amazing right?

The main entrance. *a very big applause to the decoration group*

The night started around 7 p.m., but the guests started coming around 6 something. Basically those who were performing were pretty blur of what was happening out there, because we were all locked up behind the stage! @.@

A lion dance team from a nearby school was invited to fire up the event, and also to welcome the guests and V.I.P.s.

Ever heard of the cinema joke of Kelantan? Rumours said that there WAS a cinema in Kelantan! Then the government set 3 golden rules:

1. Audiences must stand straight and sing the national anthem prior of movie viewing;

2. Boys and girls separated; and the best of all...

3. Lights on during movie!

Then the cinema was closed down.

So the audiences were like sang the anthem before everything started...

The opening ceremony. Literally "opened" with a key. Nice one.

First performance! Mongolian dance- great music, nice moves, a great start off of the night.

The first half of 相声.

Comedy sketch! Personally I think they made it satisfactorily funny, when we watched their rehearsal. But most of the senior still grumbled. That's why, all of these comedians had their limits pushed.

Dinner! Come to think of it, a RM 10 ticket which included buffet dinner and performances, not to mention the props and all the tears and sweat from everyone involved in this event, was just too cheap. Too damn cheap.
