Dugro.. Dugrostar.. Raising me up, I've come so far

Dugro dugro star, raising me up, i've come so far, Dugro Dugro Star, i can be so much more, I'm the shining stars.. 

This song really haunting me as Emir and I keep singing morning, night and in between.

Anyway last month we were delighted to be invited as guest blogger for the soft launch of Dugrostar at Kidzania. The show started at 6++ and i managed to rush from KLCC to here.. :) -- talking about precision, guess sometimes i'm the champion :p

Every kid had a chance to get a star make over which of cos was a big no-non for the boys. But lucky for Ibu Emir as Emir was one of the first few kids at the frontline, he didn't have the choice and didn't realize that many boys refused (talking about screaming, crying) to put on make up. Emir dia dah masuk tak boleh kate apelah..

But the girls - they had so much fun (feeling-feeling princess tau).. How i wish one day i have a daughter.. insyaAllah.. 

So, right after he had his makeover, Emir was instructed to pose for the camera and yes, with this over-sized Dato' M Daud Kilau inspired :) (oklah Michael Jackson).. Thereafter, the organizer brought Emir inside the theater where he had to practise dancing. They said the parents are not allowed and I was so obedient to  follow the rules. Not that I know, the parents ok je keluar masuk and I missed to watch Emir practising his dancesteps. 

When he came out from the theater, the first thing he said

"i wish you were inside there to watch me"

The event started with a short speech by Ms. Monique Suryokusumo, the Marketing Director of Danone Dumex.

Dugrostar is the biggest talent campaign nationwide specially brought to you by Dugro. It's a series of talent participation showcasing children aged 3-10  and it celebrates well-rounded talents and  featuring National promotions with irresistible collectible premiums.

Then, they were experts to talk about child's creativity and development.

Lepas tu, this is where the parents get excited.. mana taknyer all kids performed!

Again after the performance, Emir cakap "I want to be at the front" it's ok Emir, ibu nampak je

and yes, i'm proud to see him, he is very dedicated to memorize the dance steps at the very short period. I think he inherits from his father, kalau buat satu bende, buat betul-betul.

All of us together with the parents and the experts.
