Adan invited me to watch his Gamelan Performance at TRCC, RP.
Durin Year 1 when I first heard about Gamelan, I thought it was Game-Lan,
as in an Interest Group which plays game-lanning.
Haha.
I though to myself, "what a lame IG, all you do is play computer games."
But in fact, Gamelan was actually a traditional Indonesian musical ensemble!
Gundu!
Anyway, the show was really interesting because it was a love story,
Malay-Balinese style.
There were three characters cum dancers and background music
played by the Gamelan.
The Narrator aka Nenek Biscuit(not Keropok) was funny as well.
I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but I was wrong.
Adan's on the left, facing right.
One of the Tudong Girl's voice was beautiful, very melodious.
I was terrified of that mask
ever since the Indonesian Cultural Show in Bintan many years ago.
It's scary and danced funny.
I was afraid it'll come upclose to me.
Since Aini accompanied me to the show,
I accompanied her to watch her cousin's Rugby Finals Match against TP.
Managed to catch the last 20minutes of the game.
Rough but it was great to watch it.
Guys slamming and stacking onto each other.
Haha.
Well played by both teams especially RP's last touchdown.
Beautiful.
However,
Final score:
RP-TP
28-40.
RP almost won though.
2nd's better than last year's 4th.
Better luck next year.
