Yet Another Visit

The PERMATA students welcomed yet another visitor to Pusat PERMATApintar Negara, this time from the First Lady of South Africa. And this time, we are not alone. We have our fellow cousins from PERMATA Seni, PERMATA Insan and PERMATA Negara. who were really REALLY cute! (no offence though :P)

Waiting.. and waiting..

And here she is! :D

An African idiom: If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together

Her Excellency Mrs Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma, First Lady of the Republic of South Africa, came to get to know PERMATA better. And by PERMATA, I mean us.. (yeay)  Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor, in her speech, mentioned something about a PERMATA pediatric hospital. Yupp, that's right. The PERMATA program is expanding even as we speak, and there would probably be more in the future. After a briefing on PERMATApintar Negara by Mr Salleh, the guests are entertained by live performances from each PERMATA.

Guests enjoying the show. Or at least it seems so

The cutest performance like, EVER

The PERMATA Negara showed up with their colourful garments, dancing on stage. They're just so adorable. Next, the PERMATA Insan wowed the audience by their remarkable capabilities to memorize and count quickly at such a tender age. What was interesting was, before they started, they recited doa. They were taught of the importance of Barakah in everything that we learn.

Ze Indian Dance. Ching! Ching! Ching! (sound of the gelangs)

A violin performance from a PERMATA Seni student followed suit. She displayed her outstanding talent in mastering the musical instrument. Last but not least, our very own PERMATApintar student, Shubatra a/p Nahentara Raj, performing an Indian dance. The guests were captivated by all of the performances today.

Le photo session

Oh, after the VIP's have left, there were quite a number of leftovers on the table. Apalagi, makan lah. They had satay, nasi impit, mini pie, currypuff and carrot cake. (not to make your mouth water la, but carrot cake was exquisite) NyumNyum.. Tak sia-sia attend the event ^_^

Before I end this post, I'd like to share a photo

This kid reminded me of  the character from Dispicable Me :3
