Natrah oh Natrah!

Zil, 'Natrah' and I
The sad story of Natrah @ Nadrah or Maria Huberdina Hertogh is indeed a very sad one..
I have heard her story since i was young and it has been retold soo many times especially by my late grandfather . He was in Singapore when the Natrah's riot broke in 1950 and witnessed everything that happened. Whenever he told me the story he had always failed to hide his sadness to me.. I did understand why back then.. I just pretended to be interested to his story because I love to accompany him to visit his favourite mamak 's place and got to eat my favourite mee rebus... very sedap 1!
Zil and Cik Hayza Posing ala-ala Charlie's Angels
so when i heard that Erma and Istana Budaya were going to stage "Natrah' I did not missed the chance and booked the tix a.s.a.p.. and I angkut my BFF , Zil to see the play so in case if i dont like it i have someone to gosip2 with..haha.. Oh bukan susah to convince Zil to come with me coz she happens to be a big fan of Remy Ishak ( ala mamat dalam Nur Kasih tu )..
So on the 3rd Dec 2009 I wore my best dress and went to Istana Budaya to see 'Natrah in person' .. (to be continued.. )
