Alumni IIUM show, KLCC

Assalamu'alaikum

On 27^th of February, we had our most fabulous performance at KLCC for “Majlis Bersama Pemimpin Sempena Dermasiswa Alumni IIUM”. The event was held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center and was officially launched by our Prime Minister, YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Hj Abd Razak.

We start our training since 2 weeks before the event was held and there were 13 songs we played together. Some of the songs are:

Kopi Dangdut, Ada Apa Denganmu, Rasa Sayang, Enjit-enjit Semut, Rindu Bayangan, Love Story, Bujang Lapok. Geylang Si Paku Geylang, Pandang-pandang Jeling-jeling, Besame Mucho and etc.

The preparation for the event was so pack with full day training and repeatedly playing the songs. But still the preparation was full with those giggling among the performer itself. We had truly happiness among us :D  The performance was collaborate with other cultural clubs which some of it are the Percussion Club and Andeka Caklempong Club.

Setting up instrument

We depart from IIUM at 10.30am and arrived to the KLCC at 11.15am. As we arrived we were placed all of our stuffs at the dressing room provided by the organizer. Immediately after that we had full rehearsal together with the MC and the organizer itself.

Later on, the event started on 7.45pm with our team busking at the exhibition area out of the ballroom 1. We had our busking session lasting for 30 minutes together with the Percussion Club. Oh yeah, while we were performing during busking, guess what?! The most famous and handsome singer nodding to us, he is Maher Zain!! Woah, it was such a great performance and experienced for us, performing Angklung in front of the VVIPs which is some of them are our Prime Minister, former Prime Minister – Tun Mahathir Mohamad, Professor Kamal Hassan, Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansur, Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah and etc. and also together in front of Maher Zain. Our performance on that day was conducted by our beloved super senior; Kak Fai. *Thanks Kak Fai..despite your busy schedule, you still agree to help us. Thank you so much.. We love you  ^^
