-->hari raya light up 2008
The light up ceremony this year was absolutely fantastic with great performances and sporting Guest-of-Honours. :)
At the reception area (outside Rumah Seri of Malay Village), there was a music and dance to entertain our guests as they mingled around.
Isn't the dancer absolutely elegant?
Some of our important guests:
The CEO of Courts.
Dr. Fatimah Lateef.
After the reception was the concert with the official light up ceremony. Our guest-of-honour was SM Goh Chok Tong.

The crowds were absolutely enthusiastic as SM lit up Geylang Serai, marking the start of the festive season.
This little girl was waiting for her favourite singer to snap a shot of!
Did you miss out on the show? Fret not, here are the performers of the day! Power-packed voices, fantastic music and dance and hilarious jokes.
And SM Goh joined in sportingly as well!
Awww... what a sweet pair of lovebirds.
But these are the REAL lovebirds!
And as the crowd watched on,
There was a fantastic display of fireworks!

We had a school group from KINDERLAND today and we brought the children around Kampung Days, the Kampung Museum and to the games corner. Take a look at these photos!
Here in Kampung Days, the children were listening to Uncle Bajuri explaining the lifestyles of the people during those days when houses had attap roofs.
