JJC Talentime 2006!!

The night was set for JJC's Talent Quest for the year 2006. The air was tense as performers got ready their last minute preparations for their moment on stage. The crowd began filling in the Nanyang Auditorium at NTU. The time: 1830hrs, Date: 19 May 2006..

LET THE SHOW BEGIN...

It started off promising with Garden of Eve performing their rendition of "Zombie" this was clearly well received by the warm cheers and applause which followed as soon as their performance ended! 2 other groups competed in this vocal group category and they were Aphrodisiac and Kirei Kumi respectively. hahaha Garden of Eve clinched the top prize at the end of the day! Fantastic gerl drummer by the way!! impressive stuff!!

Next up in the night's line-up of categories was the vocal solo english category!! well organised if i muct add about this year's talentime!! Fantastic organisation, superb new initiatives like calling all past winners as way back as 1999, as well as getting a new environment and a Guest of Honour!! (Chan Soo Sen)

Well, i should exclaim to everyone i the Blogging world that JJC has a fantastic bunch of singers just spilling over from its bowl!! The champion in this category was a small petite Malay gerl by the name of Nor Farhana Binte Suhadi.. When she came on stage, i didnt bat an eyelid over her dress or make up.. However, when she started belting out Lee Ann Rimes' "How Do I Live", it was as if they were playing it from the CD!!!! Im not joking guys and gerls!! She has that kind of voice quality!! Ni kalau masok S'pore Idol.. Mmmm mmmmm... JJC will have to put every Sunday as a must see as she would most definitely enter top 10!! Seriously! i got a video if u dun believe!!

The other contestants sang veautifully as well!! dun get me wrong but the sole thorn among the roses was a bit "mendak". He was Muhd Azmil who presented Bailamos!! hahahhaa fantastic effort but the vocals aint there man!! but kudos to you for making it so far till the Grand Finals!! The net singer was Yap Han Ning with her Kelly Clarkson song, "Because of You". Let's just say that i almost cried if not for the fact that i was in public and watching it beside my buddies.. hahhahaa She was amazing as well!! never bluff, but i dun haf a video of her.. hahaha

I shall just go to the main event, which was the dance group category!! this was a first ever i think, for JJC Talentime and it did not disappoint at all!! Fan tastic choreoraphy by the JJCians!! imagine how they practise and do homework at the same time!! hahaha assuming that hw is passed up on time, every time!! hahahaa but reallie impressive lorh!! i tot i might have just jumped my ass off my seat and grooved to the beat as well!! if not for the fact that i was conscious and that i cant dance for nuts.. hahahaha tapi gelek nya manis lagi mengancam!!

Well, the Champion trophy of the dance group category was handed over to Mutton Balls!! aka Bola Kambeng!! hahahaa interesting name by the way! and reallie reallie superb performance guys and gals!! =) a superb display of talent and professionalism!! hahahhaa waduh waduuuuhh..

When it came to the special performances, my did we get a treat for our 10 dollars tickets!! the teachers went up stage and performed for all present! and i aint talking abt some boring nasty show!! im saying up to date songs, sleek dance moves, and screaming which ensued every gyrating hip!! hahahhaha thats shld sum up the performance of Mr Joseph Tan!! He started off with a chinese number.. what followed suit was out of the ordinary! he sang Siti Nurhaliza's "percayalah"!!! and it was all in tune!! hahaha after that was a string of cool dance moves! U truly haf outdone urself Sir!!

Mr Chan Soo sen, Minister of State, was not to be left out either!! hahaha he took the mike and belted out various songs from young to old time, ranging from "Bengawan Solo" up to a melodious Chinese tune! hahhaa this sporting minister even invited Birthday Boy, princial Koh to sing with him!! hahaahhaha

*he outsang mr koh in every verse though* hahahhaa reallie enjoyed myself watching u guys though! fantastic performance!!

Well, i just wanna say thank you JJC for organising such an enjoyable event which brings together old frens and students and teachers! U can bet on my attendance for the next skool occasion! Congrats on a night of spectacle and fantastic memories! You truly have embedded a deep imprint in the hearts of many!!

JJCians alike now have so much more to be proud of.. a skool with spirit.. =)
