Huga Huga Africa part two

Since the sketch was fairly long, we decided to treat all guests with LUNCH AFTERWARDS! Everybody must have been ravenous as the food quickly disappeared :P

At about 1.45PM, the event resumed with a hip-hop number. Then, the audience were presented with a touching slideshow/video about Polio and Rotary International’s ‘End Polio Now’ initiative. Candles were lit as tribute to Polio victims and jars were passed around for donations towards the cause.

To lighten up the atmosphere, we revealed our surprise for the audience: DEEJAYS BEN AND NADIA FROM FLY.FM’S PAGI SHOW! Being the professionals that they are, they truly delighted all members of the audience including the PIBG.

[I even managed to take pictures with them before they started emceeing the rest of the event teehee. Don't believe me? Check THIS out:]

Next, came yet another performance by the African students. This time, it was a song. This was quickly followed up by the Afro Jazz/Street-Krumping performance. Ben named it Krump Sh*t.[Not in an offensive manner, he was just a little confused!] Before a truly rocking and jaw-dropping belly dance number led by Vice President Rocyie Wong, guests were treated to a presentation on Africa by Queen Omoni(Yes, that’s her name!) Then, came the wonderful, wild and colourful fashion show. It certainly did NOT disappoint.

Before the closing ceremony, presidents of both Interact Clubs of SAB and MBS joined Ben and Nadia onstage to present souvenirs to all the schools that attended. The entire event ended on a high note as BOD of SAB and MBS marched proudly onto the stage, followed by all performers and finally, treating the audience ONE LAST TIME by dancing to the Waka Waka song made famous by Shakira.

All in all, this year’s IU Day was the best one we’ve had so far. Despite the tears, miscommunications and little feuds here and there, we managed to pull ourselves together to provide the most entertaining Saturday for everybody.
