Pesta TangLung UM 2007

Before I continue further, I would like to thank Crystal again for inviting me to this fiesta in UM on 23 September 2007. The fiesta was organized by UM MPP and frankly, I am impressed with the whole production. Here, I would like to show you some of the pictures taken yesterday.

Due to some unforeseen factor, I was not around when the play started but managed to watch Act 2 onwards.

The story goes like this:

A nurse overheard her mean mother that she is not really their daughter and decide to run a DNA test between her and her father. But before she get the result, the whole family went on a trip to an unknown island due to her father's interest in geography. The travel to the island with a group researchers.

When they are there in the island, the usual mean mother keep on making her life difficult, much to the dislike of the doctor traveling with them, since he has a liking towards her.

Some of the family members can easily adapt to the environment but it was hard for others. At one time, one of the brother actually frighten her younger sister by telling her about ghost. See what they have to show:

The nurse also received the result of the DNA test and it has been confirmed that she is not his daughter.

Later, due to jealousy, the second brother tricked his elder sister to help him find a watch somewhere in the jungle. Unfortunately, a group of aboriginals captured her and brought her back to their village.

When the family know about it, they went to the aboriginals village to save her but they learned that she has been given to the leader's son as a gift and if they want to save her, they would need to fight with him. The daughter tried to plead the family to leave her there as she does not want anyone of them to get hurt.

The leader's son really like her because before the family left the village, he gave her a bamboo cut that contained some of their medicine that he claim are very helpful for the dad.

Later at the camp, the daughter confronted with the father about her origin.

The father explained that her real father is actually his rival long time ago and he is also his best friend. Due to business failure, he went bankrupt and the whole family decided to kill themselves. But he manage to reach there on time and convinced the family not to kill the daughter.
