    Red Cross Youth Talentime FINALS

    Woohoo! Today was like one of the best days in Singapore. Haha..

    The Red Cross Youth Talentime held their finals today. From Primary and Secondary level, all participated well. Of course, there are some who are my personal favorite -- this only pertains to the Sec level. but too bad i'm not judging them again. Basically, today i judged the Primary schools. quite cute, but too simple sometimes. That's why i do wish to teach them how to sing properly at least. I kept on reminiscing on my previous kindergarten students in MSA, jakarta, indonesia. THey are truly adorable -- and professional, i must say. Seriously, they are way better than -- ehm ehm -- the kids during the finals. Some reasons were like they truly dun know anything about stage presence and impressing the judges. IMPRESSION is one important thing for someone to remember what you did.

    Basically, that was what i told the secondary level. I remember mentioning to 1 group. Once you impress the judges, you will be remembered in a great way, and that you will be the one MOST-LIKELY to be chosen to be the champion. Interesting huh... Hahaha...

    I went on to watch the secondary school students afterwards. Amazingly, some groups are not improving at all, and even worst, DECREASING! I felt so lost in nowhere whenever i hear off-tune notes! Oh gosh.. I wish i can close my ears. The only thing i can do is make faces. haha.. Haiz...humans! some aspire to sing but can't really sing. Those who can don't aspire to sing at all. I feel sad!

    Ok, anyway, the competition is not sad -- SAD -- after all. Two of my personal favorite performances actually won the first place. haha...

    ****For example, the Malay couple who sang in a duet category. they are from Compassvale Sec School. Seriously, they are SOOOOO romantic and SOOOOOO emo! Truly love their performance! Though there were little hiccups in the beginning and middle of songs, they still end strong and give this impression to the judges! Even me sitting there as one of the 'vip' -- i sat in the reserved seat row OK!!

    ****Another favorite will have to be the INDIAN DANCING BOYS! They are from Raffles Instituition. haaa...they are SO entertaining. One thing good about them was that we can see that they are improving. I could see more SMILES than before! Awesome awesome.... But then, sad thing is, my head is storing that song they danced to! "Lenja-Lenja"... Something like that. It's really funny! I absolutely LOVE the confidence and creativity displayed in the performance. They even got standing ovation! THE DESERVE IT MAN! Woohoo...sadly, i din get to take pics with them! Should have huh...ask all of them to pose with.that'll be fun! haiz..now no chance to get to meet them in their costume! haha... they did very good job in shaking their body! haha...interesting! seriously funny tho... lol...

    **** For the Song group and modern dance category, i'm not really keen to give them good points. I would say they are too static. Actually 1 school did very well in these two categories. since audition, i can see they improved a lot! they really take on the suggestions we judges made. As for the champion (which i'm not keen of, btw), i think they are really stiff. Their body are not LOOSENED yet! For the song group category, there are more harmony in the other school's group. and the costuming are great with all stuff TOYS! haha...incredible. sadly they din get to be the champ. Haiz...sometimes things turn out otherwise. the results for this two category surprised me a lot...

    **** Haiz...what can we do now? it's over! but then, I must comment on the lighting and PA people. HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! are they blind n deaf?! gosh! blue, green, red lighting for DANCE performance which actually is showing off the flashy costume, was a TOTAL MESS! I'm like "what d heck is with colored lights?!" can't it just be stay in YELLOW?!?!?! i mean it, STAY! the spotlight are like moving around! sheesh...that's really disturbing.. the PA system also rather a mess.. esp the primary school ones. GOT LIKE 30sec FEEDBACK! imagine! haiz...i told the group to redo again tho. i dun marked them down because is not fair at all to blame the 'not-so-nice tune' because of the PA system! so, redo! haha

    Generally, the whole TALENTIME this finally donE! yeay! they're interesting. I enojyed myself, particularly the cultural dance and duet. Those two groups are my all-time favorite! You go guys! see you next year -- i hope!

    CONGRATS to all CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
