Gema dan Rasa

the teachers at my school usually have outings together and last night we attended a dance show at petronas philharmonic hall.

despite being late (since most of them are not familiar with the strict regulations of the hall) we were able to be seated and watched the show, performed by the Petronas Cultural Group. i enjoyed the malay traditional dances, however i cant say the same when they started dancing the sabahan and sarawakian tribal dances. or the chinese and the indian dances. one can trace soft undulating hand movements of the malay dances in all the other dances, and no wonder, because the choreographers are too young and i think they should have done some research and kept to the authenticity of the dances. well, having said that, i dont mean to be a sour grape because i enjoyed the malay dances. only the malay dances.
