Kingdom Of Castle Peak

Today i went for morning lessons before preparing for the real thing today. LOA starts at 2pm today, and lessons ended about 11pm, so we decided to go to Food Haven to settle our lunch there. About the 9 of us were there eating, we also decided to skip 3DF tutorial as most of us wanted an earlier and longer break and were not very interested to attend his boring lesson. After lunch some of our classmates headed to the next lesson, while we head to club to start preparing.

Being stage crew member, during the bumping in of equipments and stuffs, we have to start work early while the rest can sit there and relax till we're done moving our stuff to the auditorium. There were quite alot of stuff to be moved, but there are also alot of helpers around willing to give a helping hand, making things very much easier for us. After we prepared most of our stuff and were ready at the back stage, we started our rehearsals.

Every participant were given time to practise on stage while we can follow up on any last minute changes to ensure that during the real event, most of the stuff should be done easily. Rehearsal didn't have much problems on the stage crew side, not sure about the other groups. Everyone took a short break before we start the real event already. Khairi's band were the first guest performer and also starting the event for us. However, it was only until 5 minutes before the actual things start, we realise that there were no amps and other stuff not prepared for the band. Miscommunication with the people i guess, but somehow we managed to borrow some amps from school i think and we were delayed by half an hour. Whatever happens, we still have to carry on the show. After Khai's band were done, the eight participants started to show their talents to the audience and the 3 guest judges. They were, Mr Coleman "hopefully i get it right", a female DJ and our very own SMIT president.

***Intermission for 10 minutes****

After this, we announced the top 5 talents voted by the audience and the judges. Than we had Afiq, our fellow club member, to be our 2nd guest performer before the 2nd round begin. He entertained us with his smooth-flowing music from the piano, and soon after, we started the 2nd round. Work work, in the dark, the 5 talents started their performance and this time, they will be doing whatever they are best at to try and strive for the ultimate winner. Everyone did well from my point of view, but the results were like this:

Third Place: Andre & Melissa ( Goo Goo Dolls, Iris)
Second Place: Jame Lye ( Instrumental Piece, Steve Vai)
First Place: Hoo Sai La!!! ( Dance performance)

The performance by the No.1 team this year was great, personally, i think the music done by them and the dance move were great. Their team leader, was also last year SMIT talentime Champion, and i feel that he individually has contributed alot to this, and well deserved win compared to the other groups. No matter what comments about it, i think he and his group has done a great job and preparation to win this.

Our very own club members were also inside this SMIT talentime finals. They were the duet Qui Hui and Bo Sheng, Catherine Cheong & Rain. They did alright during the 1st round, but i guess they were nervous and unable to really get the crowds vote, thus didn't make it for the 2nd round. Good effort from the 4 of them, hopefully they can do better the next time, there is always another year of talentime if the next yr organizers wants to have roughly the same thing. Alright, end of this long summary of this wonderful event.
