Apart from Siti and Felix, the stage show at the Labuan Square also featured cultural performances by the Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council and Cultural Body of Kuala Lumpur. There was also a children’s pantomime during the one-hour gala.
Siti sang five songs during the concert, including Rindu and Bukan Cinta Bisai, while Felix performed the songs that took him on the road to fame, like Teratai and Semut Merah.

A free cup of hot “cTea” will be served to the public to taste the unique flavour of “cTea”, Geranium Special and Pandan… uniquely asian. Well if you miss Siti Nurhaliza herself, at least you still get to taste “cTea” for free.
Here are some information regarding the tea product “ctea”
GERANIUM SPECIAL
Geraniums are popular flowering plants. These flowers can provide you the sense of relaxation and releaving stress. Geraniums helps to bring about a cheerful nature, in particular it is good for children who are downcast and good for adults who are prone to worrying (mild flower power) In addition, Geraniums are also excellent for female reproductive system… (wana try…)
PANDAN or ‘Pandanus odorus’ (haha!)
Pandan leaves are very popular flavouring in tropical Asia, from the South Indies to Papua New Guinea. We all know the common usage for these leaves. But to have the taste and smell of pandan in tea is really something different… personally its my favourite (since i dont have female reproductive system).. the smell and taste is just right… not too strong neither weak, this tea make me feel so asian. Anyway its a real good choice away from earl grey or english breakfast (english uh)
The tea is cultivated in the pristine foothills of Mount Kinabalu, Sabah, where nature offers the most conducive natural environment for growing tea. Painstakingly picked (i saw Siti herself pluck those leafs) and meticulously processed to exact standards, you’ll enjoy its distinctive flavour and subtle character. Grown naturally and pesticide-free, it is an excellent source of f l a v o n o i d s.
Well, you should try them yourself… “cTea” is available from “Vivid” the sole distributor of “cTea” in Brunei Darussalam. Located at the second floor, The Mall Gadong. Visit them today
