ANGKLUNG PERFORMANCE FOR UTMSPACE DEAN'S LIST AWARD CEREMONY [PART 2]

[CONTINUATION OF PART 1]

waiting for the arrival of VIP

This time, we did not perform on stage as the stage was quite small to accommodate all the 16 of us. So we chose to stand at corner in front of the hall. No stage meant there was no stage fright and the angklung players were more relaxed.

We played a short song "Dia Datang" upon the arrival of the VIPs. Then we continued playing two more songs, "My Heart Will Go On" and a new number, "Kopi Dangdut".

We then performed a few songs while all the guests and award recipients (and their accompanying family members were eating). This time it was special as we were placed right on the first floor of the building (something like a balcony) overlooking the hall. It felt like conducting an orchestra in a huge theatre hall.

The other songs presented were "Selamat Tinggal Bungaku", "Autumn Leaves", "Ayam Den Lapeh", "Tajuk Johor" and "Terukir di Bintang."

living in a world full of hyperactive boys *sigh*

That should be a good experience for everyone in the group who had started practising as early as the first week of January. I am hoping that everyone could make it for any future performance.

ANGKLUNG PERFORMANCE FOR UTMSPACE DEAN'S LIST AWARD CEREMONY [PART 1]

SMK Taman Universiti's Angklung Group was invited (again) to perform for the Dean's List Award Ceremony in conjunctions with UTM 58th Convocation. This time the event was held at Pulai Spring Golf Resort which is just near the school.

We were there as early as 10:00 a.m. for the rehearsal session. We were wearing our group's official t-shirt for the first time today. 

I am actually feeling sleepy and tired now and will need to get my beauty sleep real soon, so we will just see some photos during the rehearsal/practice session.

More detailed report coming your way, real soon.

THE LAST SESSION FOR MY UTM SPACE CLASS THIS SEMESTER

I had the opportunity to teach another UTM SPACE [School of Professional and Continuing Education a.k.a outcampus/part-time students] class this year in UTM main campus in Skudai. The last time I did that was 3 years ago in Kuala Lumpur. [Read HERE]

The classes were held at Fakulti Kejuruteraan Mekanikal [translate: Faculty of Mechanical Engineering] on Fridays and Saturdays for 3 weeks.

This time I had to teach a course called "English for Workplace Communication" which require me to study before class at the earlier stage. Anyway, everything went well and in the lecture today, students had to conduct "case study" and "meeting" sessions.

As all of them are working adults (and a housewife), I found that they could do well when it came to public speaking. They carried out the tasks confidently and convincingly despite the limited time they had to prepare for the presentations. 

I guess it was time to bid goodbye to each other. We never know whether our paths will cross again one day. Good luck, everybody.
