While you were sleeping…
While other Pesilats were busy forming up in the main ‘gelanggang’, the Keris Mandat Team ‘07, which consisted of representatives from the participating schools including two gentlemen from NTU, was thick in action too outside MPSH 5, performing an impromptu, off-key, off-note and off-pitch dikir barat item to entertain themselves while waiting for the Keris Mandat Ceremony proper.
Special thanks goes to Wak Jawo from TP who was acting as the ‘mengarut’ Tukang Karut and the coach from NYP Silat Club, who I think goes by the name of Abg Nana (from the info I gather from the NYP Silat Club webbie), who sportingly jumped into the role of Juara. Not forgetting the rest of the Keris Mandat Team ‘07 and Mr Wan (not our NTU Wan), the I/C for the Keris Mandat Team ‘07.
Thanks for the memories.
And oh yah, the videoman from NUS too.
