To begin with, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of our guests, friends, family and our media friends to this year's annual party entitled, "My Belly Dance Malaysia 2011". It is truly an honor for us to have everyone here tonight and we thank you for that.

We could not be more grateful for your trust and support in us since the first day of our humble beginning back in 2008 providing dance classes to only a handful of students. We must admit it was quite a challenge then, but with a great deal of perseverance coupled with an idea of bringing an incomparable dance experience to our students, we managed to pull through.

This annual event, My Belly Dance Malaysia 2011 is the effort of many selfless individuals who made it possible with much tears and sweat for the past few months. Allow us to spend a few moments recognizing and acknowledging these behind the scenes hero and she-ro for their generous efforts.

Our lovely sponsor - Ms. Belly Cat. Your support and friendship will always be appreciated and we wish to extend our sincere thanks to you and your family.

We also wish to express our deepest gratitude to our parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wong  for allowing us to pursue our dream in the field of cultural and performing arts; and your support in our adventures. Thank you, Mom and Dad and we love you both.

To all the performers for the evening, your courage to dance, on stage, in front of the audience is praiseworthy. We congratulate you for your undeterred faith, belief and your ability to outdo yourselves and not others. It is an attribute that we should all emulate. Congratulations, ladies! Well done!

To all our respected, passionate students and friends, who have grown with us and in us, you have coloured this journey with much joys and laughter.

Time has come and gone swiftly, and when one glances back at the past that belongs to you, it is a blessing that we have shared a few moments of our lives together. These ties shall remain strong wherever life may lead us.

And lastly, with great humility and profound gratitude, we sincerely thank you for gracing this event with your presence and for your incredible support and encouragement as well as your trust and faith in us.

THANK YOU very much.

Thanks to the author of "Golden River to Golden Road"- Raphael Patai from Philadelphia who has inspired the creation of the above choreography.
