Kampong Drama

My neighbour who was a few years older than I, who also sewed my school uniform for me, was a very talented person.

She wrote her own scripts and she wrote the songs for the scripts as well.

My siblings and I were the actors in the drama she presented to the kampong folks.

There would be practice sessions in the evening when she would teach us to sing and act our part. She also bought materials to sew the costumes for us to wear. She made whatever other ornaments that were needed as well including the headdress you see in this photo of me.
