Imperial College Malaysian Night 2007

This post should have been here few weeks ago.

Anyway, Johanna & I attended the annual IC Malaysian Night organised by IC Malaysian Society on 3rd March. According to many, the tickets were snapped up in one day! I was not surprised though, based on the quality of the previous Malaysian Nights, which was exactly why I asked Johanna to buy the tickets. Why ask her to buy and how did she managed to get them? Because her company was one of the many sponsors and she had the privilege of booking the tickets before they went on sale.

This year's theme was A Silent Cacophony. I'll leave you to read the story from their website.

The reason why I've suddenly decided to post this - Johanna & I watched Ugly Betty yesterday and one of the character - Marc reminded Johanna of the gay character - Azam in A Silent Cacophony. She said he had imitated Marc's character really well. Yet another piece of puzzle to whom the characters in A Silent Cacophony was based on. I was very impressed with the acting skills of the main characters, especially the imitation of Captain Jack Sparrow Pipit as the narrator, Ah Boy (Godfather with near perfect Italian accent!), Mohan, a nerd who speaks in rhymes and later in rap (amazing performance but yet to find out whether he was imitating certain popular characters), and Tasha, the female lead.

Anyway, well done to the IC Malaysian Society. It's definitely a tall order to organise a production of this scale and they have managed to deliver time and time over the years.

Oh ya, we bumped into Dilla too.
