I felt touch when I saw all the committee devote their commitment on this event! Some of them even stayed up late for the preparatory works. They set up the sound system, decorate the stage with the colourful ‘tanglung’ and make the performances’ dresses. Besides, the performers and dancers also did their rehearsal to make sure their wonderful performance.
