Malaysian Carnival, Auckland

Malaysian Carnival 2007

It has been a bucket load of hardwork, tears, sweat, laughter and sleepless nights. But 21st of April 2007, charted a history in RAM's diary. Bandar Auckland menjadi saksi kehebatan penari-penari Ronggeng Anak Malaysia Dance Club (RAM). ( And I do mean 'kehebatan.. you guys were magnificent!). Sepuluh persembahan telah disediakan buat hadirin yang berada di karnival tersebut.
Antara tarian yang dipersembahkan adalah:
1. Kurik Kundi (Malam Dinner bersama Tan Sri Mahyuddin)
2. Randai dan Selamat Datang (Silat dan tarian payung)
3. Tarian Puteri Santubong (gabungan Ngajat and Sumazau)
4. Dikir Barat
5. Boria 'Rock N Roll'
6. Tarian Ayo Mama (gabungan tarian2 Melayu)
7. Joget Berhibur
8. Zapin Budi
9. Semerah Padi (Persembahan Silat dan Kuda Kepang)
10. Tarian Orang Asli (Tribal Dance)
11. Tarian Javanese - Hatinya Tak TahanSetiap satu tarian telah di'choreograph'kan oleh ahli2 RAM sendiri. I am soooo proud of them. Not only they choreographed the dances themselves, they managed the team, arranged their own transportation and worked on their practices all on their own. As I was busy with other arrangements and looking for sponsors, my part was only teaching them some of the dances before I flew back to Malaysia, and work with them via sms and phone only!

Guys (and gals).. I want you guys to know how much, how very very proud I am of you all. You have worked really hard and have shown everyone what RAM is made of.

No matter what people say.. you know in yourself how hard you guys have worked. You know that you are great. And you can be proud of what you have done.

Muah Muah Muah
