Who’s Your Hero?

Hero. Two syllables, one word. What pops into your mind when you hear it? A caped, underwear-on-the-outside superman flying high in the sky? A firefighter, saving babies from blazing buildings? Or perhaps that one person who gave you money for the bus fare when you left your wallet at home.

Triplet 2.0: Untold Stories Unforgettable Warfare

Alone, each orchestra would not be able to complete the roster needed to play the complex and mesmerizing pieces we were serenaded with over the weekend of May 10th and 11th, but together, they had enough members to pull off a truly professional and impressive concert, which was well worth the RM38 ticket price.

It is because of our history with these characters that the filmmakers feel confident enough to take us to intimate places.
