Perdahayu's (then Wardahayu) debut appearance on stage21st July 2006...JYian Nyte...Our debut performance. Langkah kaki yang pertama bagi Perdahayu Sekolah Menengah Juying di medan seni dikir barat. Che'Gu masih teringat lagi waktu itu. How hard the kids trained for this event. If it had been part of their exams, they would have all passed with flying colours. A*** Che'Gu berikan.
The enthusiasm and excitedness was great on that afternoon. In the midst of preparing for the night's event, most of the girls were quite chattery...gabra...kanchong...While the guys were quite relaxed. Not surprising though. While it's the 1st dikir barat performance for the girls, most of the boys were quite experienced in this arena.
Che'Gu teringat lagi sewaktu di belakang pentas. Sementara kami duduk di dalam bilik darjah untuk menunggu giliran, banyak kata-kata perangsang yang Che'Gu luahkan agar dapat membangkitkan semangat mereka. Tetapi masih ada juga yang ada 'stage fright', ada yang takut nak buat persembahan kerana takut tersilap ragam, takut menghampakan teman-teman yang lain. Teringat lagi waktu itu Che'Gu ni bak ahli psikologi.
"Imagine you are there up on stage. The curtains are closed. The emcee introduces you guys and the curtains are up. lights focused on you, crowd cheering for you. You are excited yet afraid...."
Hehehe, semua detail persembahan Che'Gu suruh mereka bayangkan. And...it really did turn out the way I described it to them prior to the performance, eventhough karut kita ada sikitnya cute on that day. ;p

I had a great deal of fun watching my kids up there on stage. Im sooooo proud of them. Words can't describe how I felt. Perasaan Che'Gu waktu itu seolah-olah melihat anak didik Che'Gu bertanding di Mega Perdana dan menang tempat pertama.
A spectacular performanceThe kids did great and they deserve a standing ovation for their outstanding performance. A spectacular show they had put up for all the audience. It didn't even looked like it was their 1st performance...seolah-olah mereka memang dilahirkan untuk berada di atas pentas itu dan berjuang di medan seni ini. Persembahan itu telah membuka banyak pintu peluang untuk mereka mengembangkan sayap mereka. Ia juga telah membangkitkan semangat Che'Gu sendiri untuk membawa mereka melangkah lebih jauh di persada seni ini.
Memang terbukti anak didik Che'Gu semua berbakat besar. Mereka juga mempunyai minat dan dedikasi yang mendalam. Melihat komitmen yang diberikan oleh anak-anak didik Che'Gu, impian di hati ingin melihat mereka berjuang di pentas pertandingan dan menjulang piala suatu hari nanti. Mudah-mudahan tercapai juga impian itu nanti.
