Updating about this week's training. Everything went great and joyous. Fortunately, the crowd was the largest crowd ever for me. I had lots of fun during the trainings. As for normal, we learnt a new song entitled "Selembut Sutera".
Selembut Sutera (Malay Version):
"Selembut sutera kata manismu,
Tapi tidak seputih salju.
Menanam tebu di bibir saja,
Itukah serentak sehaluan namanya."
(Translated by Nurul):
"Your words is as sweet as silk,
But it's not as pure as snow.
You're only planting sugarcanes on your lips,
Are all those words just for the sake of saying?"
Other than learning a new song, we learnt more about the
Tukang Karut.
"A dikir barat group, which may be of any size, is led by a tukang karut who makes up poems and sings them as he goes along. The chorus echoes in response by the Awok-awok, verse by verse."
Overall, the training was good and I did not regret joining Dewi Kalista. I'm now a member of Malay Cultural Group, specifically the Dikir Barat Girls, Dewi Kalista.
