retro girls

Sisters’ Cultural Night!!! And the girls’ performing a sketch + poem, went back to the 50’s (still kampung style) and then the 70’s and then 2005, since Singapore just celebrated 4oyears of independence.

I read a poem on Sang Nila Utama, while Qzai, Eka and Aili acted on the poem. And Mint as the lion!! Very cute! And then there’s a scene on the traders coming. Then we go to the 70’s. one group twisting to Suzanna song and another group dancing to Dancing Queen!! Very nice!! And for the 2005 scene, they danced to Reach for the Skies/Stars, the theme song for this year’s national day song. Funny thing happened, the technicalities were very bad that night, and Reach for the Skies song doesn’t come out well, only the people on stage could here them but not the audience, and I was forced by a committee to sing along. I had no choice but to do it, and thank God Fiza was there to accompany my stupid voice. And thank God for the lyrics on the video clip because I did not memorise the song at all!! Following the music was quite easy for me, since the girls had been humming to the song all week!

I love the girls and congrats for the great performance even though we did not win any place~ We were great in our own way and for a week’s preparation, we sure went through hell and stressfulness, but we got through it!! And all for what?? For Singapore? For IIU?? For Ummatic week?? I don’t know. We just want to stand up for the world to see. The rest have to thank us for standing up for singapore and let people know that Singapore exist.




I know there’s nothing much in Singapore, but it still has aplce on the World Atlas. There are other bigger islands who are lost. We are still there!
