"SMKTC’s Annual Chinese New Year Night" @ 10:56 PM

SMKTC'S Annual Chinese New Year Night

Once again, SMKTC’s Persatuan Bahasa Cina(PBC) held it’s annual Chinese New Year night in Dewan Dato’ Wong Kee Tat. The main theme of this year’s party is “春意” or “Traces Of Spring”, which is translated in English. The event was held on Saturday, February 14th at 7.30pm. The prife of a ticket is RM15 per person.

The performers had their rehersal in the morning during school. All the PBC members and performers was very busy with their works and practices to prepare for the big night. Those who perform includes club members from Chinese Ochestra, Chinese Yoyo, Wushu and many more.

Before the event started, there were lion dance performances at the main entrance of the hall which brings good luck. Many people came and the tickets were all sold out. After a short speech was given, they launched the event with a big hit of the gong. The first performance was the “Colourful Lighting Dance”. It was beautiful and had many colours. Then, they had “Fan Dances”. After that, the Chinese Ochestra’s played the songs and their instructor sang. Everyone liked her voices pretty much and clapped loudly. The Wushu did quite well too, the fast actions of them fighting really exaggarate the audiences. In my opinion, i think they like the chinese yoyo the most. Especially when it is showed in the dark with their glowing yoyos’ flying around in the air like an art. ^^

[Photos are frm last year..xD Can't find any..so use tis lol.. =D]

There is also a drama performance by the Drama Crews.. The story’s quite interesting. Just that it’s a bit complicated because it’s about love. Then, there’s “Chinese Dragon Dance” which range about 25-35metres. Dragons are believed to bring good luck to people, which is reflected in their qualities that include great power, dignity, fertility, wisdom and auspiciousness. The appearance of a dragon is both frightening and bold but it has a benevolent disposition, and so eventually became an emblem to represent imperial authority.

Last but not least, came the special guest singer “Kit Teo Khee Chern”. When he entered, there were about 6 police cadets round him leading him the way to stage. Everyone cheered loudly. The event was ended with some fireworks. All the performers gathered and sang the Chinese New Year song. It is, an unforgettable memory! =D

P.S=Throughout the whole night there, I had no friends besides Jess with me =.= damn lonely!! =(
