On the 2oth of March 2009, BEST BUDDIES Malaysia had organised the very first talent show, "BB Got Talent" and this took place at UCSI University, Auditorium. The main objective for this event is to let our buddies to show everybody their inborn and incredible talent in them, thus giving them the chance to perform in front of the crowd, also building up their confidence.
People started to come and before entering the Auditorium for the show, they were invited to have some light refreshments provided and have some chit-chatting sessions with each others. Everyone arrived looking excited and the eagerness to watch the buddies perform was written on their faces. There were also a lot of them who buy the ticket on the spot, as the brought along their family and their friends too. While having their piece of Samosa and curry puffs, they were looking and reading at the posters displayed at the corner there. There were basically information about Autism and the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM), to let the public understand the important role of NASOM is the society and what is Austism.
The talent show began around 8pm and started off with the limelight was on our two lovely emcees of the event, Nitiakaran and Leena. Followed by the speech delivered by our Chairman of this "BB Got Talent", Ms Thurga. Without wasting much time, Mr Sudesh was invited to deliver his speech and thus officially start the talent show.
First of all, the show began by our very first guest performance - Adeline Chua and Steve Lam.
The second guest performance is by a group of UCSI International student, from Boswania.
Thirdly, the last group performance were the children from NASOM, dressing up colourfully .
There were 14 of them, YES !!!
A number of 14 buddies were showing everyone their talent on stage,, they are nothing different from everyone of us here, they can sing very well, remembered the lyrics; they can dance so well until the crowd were so excited and cheer for them; they can recite poem and impressed the judges as well as the audience; they can draw spontaneously and came out with a colourful piece of art; they can play musical instruments like piano, violin gracefully. Best Buddies had organised this talent show and also a competition, creating a memorable moments for them as they know they are just like us, having the opportunity to have fun and perform on stage in front of all the audience.
Another attraction of the event is the two lucky draw sessions. Varieties of goods were given out to those lucky one, there were GSC free complimentary tickets, tea-set, mugs, soft toys, slow cooker, etc.
The response of the night was very much satisfying and we received positive feedbacks plus some words of encouragement from different people. This is one of the biggest event organised by Best Buddies Malaysia here in UCSI, one of the successful and grand event since Best Buddies is brought in to Malaysia. We are going to have such event again and hopefully to make it an annually event. Lots of improvements still needed and we really appreaciate the help & support we recieved from people all around us, THANK YOU VERY MUCH .
