Manchester Malaysian Night 2008

Tomorrow, a friend of mine from London will come and visit me. I have a feeling it's a farewell visit because he sort of gave me a hint that he will be going home for good very, very soon. Although he said he wanted to pursue his Master degree in Malaysia, my gut feeling is telling me that it's because he can't stand be apart from his buah hati in Malaysia.

Anyhow, I've prepared a simple and relaxing itinerary for him, none others than a visit to the Old Trafford stadium and a stroll along the fashion boutiques in the Manchester's High Street.

And tomorrow too, the Malaysian Student Society of the University of Manchester is holding their annual Malaysian Night. I've bought a premier ticket, which includes both dinner and play. Unfortunately, Dini and Fendy are attending for the play only. That means I will be seating with total strangers at my dinner table. Ciss!

According to its website and the promo on facebook.com, the play is called Full Circle. Here is the sinopsis:

Four people separated by time but united by a single destiny.A girl relives the life of her late mother through her mother's diary, which unravels the story of her mother’s youth, intertwining the past with the present. Struck by an ordeal that runs parallel with her mother's past, she is forced to confront the trials of love and life which ultimately brings them closer.Our multi-ethnic characters blaze a path through life, spurred on by friendship, loyalty and trust. Set amidst the dramatic backdrop of wartime Malaya and the colourful cultural tapestry that is post-war Malaysia, this is a story of a girl’s unearthing of her mother’s past that leads her onto a journey of selfdiscovery and unlocks a serendipitous family secret…This play will also include a variety of cultural dances of Malaysia’s multi-racial communities.

So, how? Menarik tak? Fingers crossed.
