Jazz-Nite

Wow!! Such an amazing nite filled with cool live band, performances and magic show. It was so exciting to see how OCFers can be considered one of the most coolest bunch of people around!!..hehe.. Let's go through each of the programs of the nite one by one yar.

Red carpet entry
-------------------------
Haha, it was so cool to see all the wonderful guests; with wonderful attires, walking in Grand Buffet Hall through the stage!! How cool was that?? Haha... Therefore, to make it even cooler, I decided to take out my camera and start pressing it for the flash just to make it looks like some grand entrance thing for VIPs or celebrities in some red-carpet entry. Keep in mind, NO, I did not take any photos while pressing the flash of my camera, coz I took out the memory card. Come on lar, just to create some cool effects only right??

Welcoming by the MCs
----------------------------------
We got both David Lee and Adrianne as our MCs of the nite. And both of them really did their job so well..haha.. They look awesome too!!! Although I knew it was scripted, they still look so spontenous in front of the stage. Well done!! I like the part where both of them tried to do some 'airplane' safety guides with David as the 'spokeperson' and Adrianne as the 'air-stewardess' pointing to the exit door and doing the oxygen masks thing. Did anyone actually look up the ceiling and thought there are really oxygen masks?? Haha...

Live Jazz band
----------------------
Don't you think it is so cool having our very own OCF live jazz band?? Haha... and all of them really did very well too. Special credit goes to Willie (Bassist/Guitarist), Lim Wu (Guitarist), Nelson (Drummer), Suet Beng (Keyboardist) and last but not least, Louis (Saxaphonist). I was so entertained by all the jazz songs for the entire nite!! Well done band...hehe... And I believe, all of this is because of their hard work (all the amount of efforts they put in the practices) especially seeing how my housemate practiced almost every day!! So, I can say, I got to hear first hand of the jazz performance yar..hehe.. Of course I don't mean that the nite was second-hand lar...

Invited guest singing
---------------------------------
We have a special guest singing some jazz song for us. And she is really really good. Close your eyes and you wouldn't realised it was an Asian singing jazz songs. In fact, I think this is the first time seeing an Asian singing jazz songs other than Suet Beng lar..haha... =) How many songs did she sings yar? I can only remember one, 'Nightingale in Barkley Square'.

Couples' dance
-----------------------
There were 4 couples dancing to the music of Quando, Quando (is this how you spells it?) with Suet Beng singing in the background. It was so cute seeing all the couples dancing differently from one another. It was as if they are in their own 'world' dancing out there on the stage!! Haha.. And one thing for sure, all of them keeps on smilling!!... If I am not mistaken, this is the first time I've seen all of them dancing together and it's in front of so many people!!

The couples:
Chin Anh & Wing Yan, Eng Hui & Dawn, Lim Wu & April and Sean & Audrey

Hip-hop + Broadway dance
-----------------------------------------
First of all, special thanks to both Vanessa and Sarah Jane for choreographing the whole dance item. I believed both of them must have cracked their brain before this to think of all the steps for the dance. Well done yar!!... The hip-hop team was so energetic and lively during the dance. Being involved in the broadway dance, we do have few practices together with the hip-hop team. And I still wonder how can we actually play both the songs (hip-hop and broadway) TOGETHER outloud and dance to it?? Haha... glad there's no fusion of both the items or you might have either hip-way or broad-hop (and don't ever think of fusion such as broad-hip....haha).
Just wanna take this opportunity to thank the broadway team (Sarah Jane, Cheryl, Michelle Sng, Fang, Chris Tan, Xing Yuen and Hong Tat) for all of your enthusiasm and support throughout the whole dance practices. It was so fun during all the practices with Sarah at times needed to shout at us just to get our attention...haha... Sorry Sarah, we are just too excited at times... And I heard from some people who told me how I was like the 'stand-out' person throughout the whole dance. Thanks for that really =) but I wouldn't have done it without the whole team together helping each other out and supporting one another. Let's plan for some post-broadway-dance-party or we can combined to make it post-hip-way-dance-party.

The Skit
-------------
Well, although it does take me quite some time before figuring out the plot of the skit (if there's any..?? no offence yar), I was really amazed by how it was being performed in such an interesting and meaningful manner. Seriously, I think it was really really good and mind you, I was speaking from a perspective of an IS person where we deal with stuff such as html, Gantt chart, data-flow-diagrams and java coding. So, you see, the skit was a success afterall!! haha.. =) Although I still can't really understand some parts of the script lar..but overall, I really enjoyed it. What a great bunch of actors/actresses in Eddie, Nigel, Deborah, Daryl, Jing Yi, Krystin, Li Wei and award-winning supporting actors/actresses (also known as 'ka-leh-fe') in Chris Tan and ??? Sorry, I don't know her name..oops =) Well done Skitters; that's what you all called yourselves right?? hehe...

Magic Show
------------------
What a privillege to have an award-winning magician to come and perform for us??!!! Thanks to Dave for inviting him. I believed everyone was really entertained and amazed by all the magic tricks. I personally was amazed by his changing-5dollar-to-50dollar-note trick!!.. It's so funny to see Mark standing in front of the magician and got surprised by the trick till he couldn't help himself but speaking out loud 'What the freak??' hahaha.....I hope I can learn the trick lar so that I wouldn't have any financial problems...haha.. I was wondering whether he can do the same trick but in a different way, such as, changing a 50dollar note to small changes (2 20dollar notes + 1 10dollar note). If he can, then he can easily work as a cashier and help people to change large note to smaller notes right?? Just a random thought...hehe..

Well, I think that's all the item for the Jazz-nite. Special thanks to all the hospitality people who have worked so hard to make sure our guests are all well served and treated like VIPs. Thanks to CBC and his F&B team for producing such wonderful finger-foods. It was really really nice lar.. I think CBC should go join some catering company, don't you think so?? haha.... Last but not least, thank God for making Jazz-nite a success and a fun-filled event.

So, what's next??... It's time to follow-up on your friends people!! hehe....
Something that God spoke to me before Jazz-nite to encourage all of you, "Be a Christian who is just like a normal human that lives in this world but with the power of God being poured out from you; just like how Jesus lives in this world".
