Silver Jubilee Dinner
A milestone to remember, a time to celebrate:
It marked a momentous occasion for SMK Taman Desa – Yes !A never before event in the History of SMKTD.
The first troupe of Malay dancers in stunning traditional outfits danced to the tune of a famous Malay song - Dia Datang.
Finally the energetic Indian dance troupe took over the stage. They presented a dance entitled Kolatum.
Last but not least, Ms Lao Yen Teng soothed the guests with two lovely songs, True Love and Just knew.
“...we enjoyed the night very much. Hoping for another event !”__Dr. Tan
“… I had a meaningful night. Thank you for everything. ” __Sir Tan
“… got to meet many of my old friends.__ Ms How
The school’s dream of carrying out various upgrading projects and ultimately to fulfill its vision: To be the Premier School in Bangsar Zone, will soon be realized as teachers, parents, former Desarians and generous donors stretch out their hands to render help.
“To reach the port, we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but sail we must, and not drift, nor lie at anchor but sail.”

As soon as Mr. Chang pressed the button, a lantern was released into the air signifying SMKTD is being propelled to soar to greater heights! The beating of drums and pulling of party poppers by the donors, ushered SMKTD into the next quarter of a century .The whole stage was bathed with smoke and glittering colours emanating from the confetti and lights. What a sight!
The School Choir then sang the Theme song, “Bersatu Kita Maju”.

Next in line were the cultural performances presented by the multiracial Desarians. They depicted the unity of the various races and the rich cultural heritage of Malaysia.
The first troupe of Malay dancers in stunning traditional outfits danced to the tune of a famous Malay song - Dia Datang.
The Chinese dance troupe under the tutelage of Madam Ch’ng E.C. and choreographed by Ms.Amy Len mesmerized the guests with their dance entitled Blooms. The dancers started off in a spirited Ribbon Dance with long Ribbons fabricating various designs and formations.
The graceful dancers then gradually swayed into the Flutter Fan dance. Applause thundered through the amphitheatre.
Finally the energetic Indian dance troupe took over the stage. They presented a dance entitled Kolatum.
There was also a drama staged by the students from the Chinese Society entitled The Rhythm of the Rainbow. It depicted the feelings of the Desarians – their frustration, exhaustion and anxiety. However, not to worry as the Desarians believe that there is always a rainbow after a storm!
After enjoying the performances by the Desarians, were the enticing performances by invited performers.
First, was a talented young man Levin ,who sang a medley of songs and ended with a brief fashion show.
Next, the latest sensation in music NEWZ delivered two Chinese numbers entitled Monday, Tuesday ,Wednesday and Never Ending Love.
Last but not least, Ms Lao Yen Teng soothed the guests with two lovely songs, True Love and Just knew.
The night drew to a close after the grand prize draw .
Indeed it was a night to remember! The memory would linger on for many especially the former Desarians. It was a rare opportunity for them to meet up with old friends, teachers whilst rendering support to their beloved alma mater!
