Grand Occasion for Selebriti ditulis oleh Gumbira none Komen





The red carpet, venue and artistes lineup was grandiose. Selebriti’s 2nd Anniversary promised to be a big bash, being one out of three Malay entertainment magazine in Singapore actively doing events.
There were performances by Hyrul Anuar, Roze, Revalina, Jatt Ali, Revalina, Xclusif, Hafizah Nasser, Afiq Arsyad, Azhar Raz, Ize Sulaiman, Razlina Ajis and more. We also spotted a few familiar faces with the comeback of Anugerah’s Rudy Djoharnaen and Indra Hamzah. Hady Mirza’s grand entrance was warmly greeted by the presence of his own grandfather, veteran Osman Zailani, who also graced the event. Leena Salim, from ‘Under One Roof’ surprised everyone with ‘Tiru Macam Saya’ – how apt for her tremendously drastic latest image! It made us totally forgotten how she looked like before.
It would be much more prominent if Rudy Djoharnaen would refresh our memory with his rendition of ‘Suatu Masa’, one of the best reasons he won Anugerah back in 1999. You might also remember Indra Hamzah from Anugerah 2001 very well through his song, ‘Antara Hijau Kirmizi’.
I’m sorry but the magic show was too scary and gross for a high tea event. Oops!
All in all, it was a great start to gather an almost full house attended by artistes, dramatists, celebrities old and new to be part of the huge anniversary event.
Kudos to Selebriti! Thanks to Emma from Selebriti for the invitation.
By the way, what happened to Zaibaktian? Why the non-performance?
Kudos to Selebriti! Thanks to Emma from Selebriti for the invitation.
