They also need to act as interpreters to explain and provide info of the various clan traditions to foreign visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Others were assigned to duty on stage as stage coordinators. One of the students Richard shared, \u201cThis is my first time as stage manager, I\u2019m nervous and have butterflies in my stomach,\u201d \u201cI need to oversee the entire show, make sure all props are in condition, calling cue for lighting, sound and scene\u00a0 change cue for the show,\u201d he added. \u201cAlthough it\u2019s hard, there\u2019s noise everywhere, people talking and shouting, I can barely communicate with my stage crews with walkie-talkie,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, I learned a lot and enjoy this experience. I will definitely participate again for next year event,\u201d he committed.<\/p>\n<p>There were some 35 official photographers put on duty to capture the happy and joyful moments during the night-long event. They were assigned in different areas to cover the event. One of the photographer whose name Vanessa Scully shared \u201cIt\u2019s a challenge for me. I need to push through the crowd, adjust my camera settings and snap the shot!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to act fast, be alert of what\u2019s going to happen, set your camera settings right and give it the best shot!\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>It was a fruitful learning experience for all participated students. The students met and have made a lot of new friends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2953\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DISTED-Heritage-CNY1-600x437.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DISTED-Heritage-CNY1-600x437.png 600w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DISTED-Heritage-CNY1-768x559.png 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DISTED-Heritage-CNY1.png 805w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2954\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DISTED-heritage-CNY2-600x437.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DISTED-heritage-CNY2-600x437.png 600w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DISTED-heritage-CNY2-768x559.png 768w, https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/DISTED-heritage-CNY2.png 826w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DISTED students ushered in the year of rat by participating in one of the Penang most anticipated CNY celebration, the 2020 CNY Street Temple Celebration a.k.a Miaohui.
