The Gathering Of Kindred Spirits
Finally updating this blog. Went for "The Gathering Of Kindred Spirits" held in SJI on Friday night. Wow, i regretted missing the one that was held when i was in secondary 2. Definitely one of the best events in SJI, unfortunately it's bi-annual.
This year's was special. My class had 8 people performing, forming 2 bands with George, Amos, Nigel, Benj Chin and Hari in the band "Black Panelle" and Tim Chan and Wei Jee in "Banana Pancakes". Sean Sim was one of the 3 emcees. So i had to go and support them!
We also had around 15 students from the Beijing No.8 Middle School here for an exchange program, singing "Welcome To Beijing" which i think is one of the Olympics Theme Song. I've never heard the song before. They had a slide show on the major attractions in Beijing while the song played. Real cool to have them perform for us. Rather timely arrival.
So after theirs was Christopher's piano performance with some other guy and it was real good. I remember when i was young, which happens to be a long time ago, we used to have a piano at home. My parents left it right smack in the living room hoping that i would bump into it and get interested in learning the piano. Alas the only interest i had it in was sitting on the chair so they gave it away. Hahahaha i must admit I'm terrible at instruments, no talent in music. I remember those days when we were forced to learn the recorder. :(
After that was a dance item which was pretty slick though Keith beside me was complaining about looking at guys dance. XD He was eagerly waiting the CHIJ TP dance segment.
After a couple more dance items by the Tamil Language society, a mixed groups and SJI guys, it was finally the CHIJ TP dance segment. I think we chose the correct day to attend. Their routine on Friday was titled "Bad" while the one on Saturday was titled "Sage". :) The "Bad" routine brings a whole new meaning to the word "HOT". It was just sizzling and one of the best, if not the best, dance performance of the whole evening. XD I should have gone for Euphoria, the TP dance concert held recently.
After the very short dance item by the girls which was quite sad cos all the other dance items were longer, it was a presentation by CARE, a foundation dedicated to helping AIDS patients. The presentation kinda brought the temperature of the room back to normal (earlier on, the girls had almost brought on immediate global warming). The presentation went on for about 7 minutes about the plights of AIDS patients.
The music ministry sang and it was time for intermission.
After intermission, khairul came looking for us and wanted us to go up and sit with them. He was like "The TP girls are behind us!". To which Keith and i didn't believe initially until we went up and verified. So we decided to change our seats and moved up to get a better view of the stage. Not to get closer to the girls or anything, just wanted to get a better view (of the stage, of course). :D
Hahahaha the girls were screaming each time the emcees introduced a band. And i have a feeling they were purposely leaning forward each time when they screamed so they could laugh at us cringing. But it's fine with me. :D
Ms Daisy Chia, our form tutor, performed! I was shocked when they announced that she was going to sing. But she sang real well!
Mr. Simon Ho, the other form tutor, was kind enough to subsidise our tickets so we only paid half price. Dang should have bought the ticket for Saturday as well.
Anyway, i think the best bands for the night were Black Panelle and Banana Pancakes, not because they were from my class, but because they truly rocked the stage. Screamed for them until i went hoarse. Hahahaha 433 ROCKS!!
Ticket!
