My church gave me an invitation to the Christmas Open House held yesterday at the Stadium Negara in KL. I never go to these things, but I thought it might be fun. I would really like to see how the ministry of culture put together a Christmas celebration for the public and the king.
It turned out to be really good. With the invitation, we were ushered through a red carpeted entrance, and everyone was given a basket of goodies, cakes and chocolates. That’s supposed to be the ‘jamuan’. Anyways, we get to sit directly in front of the stage, just next to the VIPs, that is the Timbalan PM and the royalties.
The outside to the inside of the stadium was really nicely decorated in greens, reds and gold. There were so many Christmas trees around the place, and lots of baloons, snow and all. It was nice…celebrating Christmas with people from all backgrounds.
We were treated to a fantastically made musical show, starring Amy Mastura, Masha and this guy called Kelvin Lee. There were dances and songs, and even a choir from Trinity Community Centre.
The choir sang beautifully to the opening ceremony. It was well worth the time to travel there as the show put together by the ministry of culture was totally well made and professionally done. I really enjoyed it. Daniel the Malaysian Idol made an appearance as well, which drove the girlies in the crowd wild.
