The theme for performance night was 'The Lost Kingdom'. Based on this project, each group which was formed by students whom from same courses had to represent the specific Nusantara kingdoms, as follows:

  1. Architecture – Srivijaya
  2. Interior Design – Singhasari
  3. Urban & Regional Planning – Langkasuka
  4. Quantity Surveying – Majapahit
  5. Building Surveying – Pagaruyung
  6. Building Technology – Mataram
  7. Construction Management – Riau Lingga


Singhasari? 

I even knew nothing about Singhasari, we knew Srivijaya, Langkasuka, Majapahit and Riau Lingga from History text book when we were in secondary schools. But what is Singhasari?



Singhasari was a kingdom located in east Java between 1222 and 1292. The kingdom succeeded Kingdom of Kediri as the dominant kingdom in eastern Java. 




It was founded by Ken Arok (1182-1227/1247). Ken Arok rose from being a servant of Tunggul Ametung, a regional ruler in Tumapel (present day Malang) to becoming ruler of Java from Kediri. He is considered the founder of the Rajasa dynasty of both the Singhasari and later the Majapahit line of monarchs.Following his death, he was succeeded by his sons Anusapati and Panji Tohjaya.


The serene beauty of Prajnaparamita statue found near Singhasari temple is believed to be the portrayal statue of Queen Ken Dedes, wife of Ken Arok (the collection of National Museum of Indonesia).

Example of Singhari Dress


After knowing more about this mystery kingdom, we decided to perform a dance. Also, all members of the groups were asked to design and even wear the costumes that can reflect their respective kingdom to the event. We decided to wear Baju Kebaya (for girls). However, it's very sad that all of us didn't have our own baju kebaya so we had to buy for our own selves. Some of us bought it in RM80+++ or even about RM100. Since it's really expensive, thus I didn't want to buy one, luckily Syafiena helped me designed and made an own-styled-dress. :)

All my beloved coursemates co-operated to prepare the stuff needed for that night.



These were the end product made by me and Fu Kai.

Girls were making these golden finger nails. Haha. Very nice one

Kar Hee took her responsible on background music.

The kingdom flag was made by Joshua. It's cool.

On the second night of preparing, dress for queen was successfully made. Deng deng, I tried it immediately. Thank you Syafiena.

 






















The performance night was taken place in Dewan Kuliah D where located near our HBP.

Finally it's the day!!!! 





We found our kingdom on the spot! Haha.


Decoration made by committee, good job done! :)

The performance started with the king and queen of each Kingdom with their people walking into the hall one by one. After the opening ceremony of this event, the performance begun, and we interior design was the first to perform. Our dance was started with my solo dance, it was really bad that I didn't do well in my solo :(

Performances by other kingdom held one by one. 

Performance by Pagaruyung Kingdom was interesting and funny.

Besides that, the best performance on that night was be awarded to Srivijaya Kingdom. Architecture students did really well and they did sacrifice too much for this live performance, also for their costume. They told the history of Srivijaya by using wisely the sound and light effect. 

And drama which brought by Riau Lingga pleased lecturers and students. CM students acted so well, and the drama was funny and brought us fun, they successfully made audiences laugh. In the end, Ming Kai was awarded the The Best Male Actor. Haha.

There were lots of award were given on that night. Something which made us happy to max was Interior Design and Urban Planning were awarded the best booth for the previous project (Exhibition)!!! Sacrifices finally comes great award!!!!!!!

Awesome night finally came to an end.

What I want to say: 
'Studio life of first sem finally was over! 
Made many great memories with all of the guys in the studio in the last few months, we laughed together, suffered (of rushing assignments in those sleepless nights) together, and complaint together. It made us who comes from different places more closer. Although we just stay together in only few months, but it seems like we have knew each other for years. Hope this friendship will last long.
Really appreciate it.'
