Puteri Bukit Serdang a.k.a. Puteri Gunung Ledang...

After having somewhat knowledge about what parodies are, we were assigned to come up with our own parody. It was indeed an exciting experience as we were supposed to come up with our own version of a fable or fairytale. At once, all of us agreed on doing a Malaysian tale... So we were practical squeezing our brains to find an interesting fable to be made fun of...And believe it or not we as a whole group agreed on doing Puteri Gunung Ledang. So what would our title be then?

We wanted to name our parody with something that is relative to us and we came up with the title; Puteri Bukit Serdang”. The main highlight of the original version of Puteri Gunung Ledang would be the seven demands proposed by Puteri Gunung Ledang to the Sultan of Malacca. So we used a little imagination of what would a princess demand in this era. Obviously seven trays of mosquito’s heart would not be enough. Thus, we came up with crazy demands such as Victoria’s Secret lifelong membership in the excerpt below;

Thus, Hang Tuah makes a video conference to the Sultan using his 3G phone...At once, Nenek Kebayan proposes her 7 demands...

Nenek Kebayan: (takes out a lengthy paper) First, I would like to be included in the
London Weight Management Programme...you know, since I still
have some weight to lose before my marriage... Second, a set of
collagen for face lifting only by LOREAL PARIS...Third, Victoria’s
Secret lifelong membership and TGV club membership with VIP
pass...Hmm...Next would be the most important thing- a Gold
Class credit card and also not to forget BMW 5 series with a husky
driver. Wait..Wait I forgot...there’s one more-the last but not the
least Tiffany jewellery set. Let me know once you are ready my
dear, Majesty.

We made it a must that technology must be made notice in our parody. Thus, we included sms, mms and video conferencing as means of communications. Yes, it was indeed fun! Thanks for the wonderful experience Miss Dzeelfa.
