The Oriental Night 2008

The Chinese New Year Festival was followed by the cultural night called the ORIENTAL NIGHT which was held in the college Great Hall. The traditional performances from the students were impressive. There are Chinese Cultural dances, Chinese Musics, and also a short drama on Chinese New Year. The drama was about the God of Prosperity (Chai Sen) telling story to the God of Bad Luck (Soi Sen) about Nian (Monster) and the Chinese Zodiac.

The Chinese Traditional music performance was by two female students in this college, Lorinda and Sharon. It was impressive and eye opening to the audience (mainly students and teachers) on that night.  The entertainment was followed up with the Chinese traditional dances by 4 female Chinese students.

Not to be missed the performance that I took part which was the short drama. Well as you can see from the picture below, I was acting as one of the Chinese zodiac.

Story continues with the revelation of Nian, the Monster bullying the villagers on new year. One of the way to defeat Nian was by using the fire crackers to scare him away. It works :P and that was why on Chinese New Year, the Chinese will play fire cracker.

All the Chinese Zodiac Animals

These were the cute and adorable Chinese Zodiacs that performed on the Oriental Night.The Chinese New Year could not have been so successful without the help and support of all the committees, actors, dancers, and also external assistance from the college and MCA. Thanks to all.
