This is the moment we have all been waiting for...........
*sorry i couldn't think of anything more grandeur than this*
*confetti*
*balloons*
*lights*
*applause*
*garrett shrieking and giggling at t4c*
Finally we have come to the Grand finale of our TOT for this year 2008 and it's also our first bird-day!! This time around, we have prepared a lineup from the best of the best all throughout our TOT this whole year! Blink no more!
Starting off the night was none other than the powerful triplet, t4c! The last time they were here, they left our crowd breathless and gasping for more air but this time around, Garrett had to grab my notepad and bite it to prevent himself from extreme hyperventilation caused by sheer excitedness. That's how good it was =) t4c presented us a few numbers by Il Divo and Josh Groban, the theme song for Liverpool and a christmas rendition, Oh Holy Night.
Next up was a child prodigy (at least for me he is), Clement, in his simplest appearance screaming, "I'm normal!!" which I couldn't believe until he solved a Rubik's cube under 2 minutes!! now get this... single handedly. Now do you believe me if i say he is a child prodigy? We got a few volunteers coming up to twist his cube in a frenzied cube of colours so he could get them all in the same colour for every surface of the box. Crazee ain't it?
One of the pleasure I've had speaking to bands is they speak with such confidence (reflects they're not just some band who thinks they have it all and some, they really have it all =)) and at the same time, still maintains that humble and warm presence. And such band is indeed a rare breed these days and i'm talking about one who won the Battle of the Bands in 2007, MRSC Songwriting competition and currently signed under the Starmaker contract and uprising star, The Bus Company. They came around a few months ago and totally rocked the house. This time, they presented us a few numbers all from which are from their own composition. Set to release an album soon in future (dates are yet to be confirmed), they are performing in alot of places and you can catch them
here with all the updates =)
Next up is one of the type of bands I've mentioned earlier, formed in 2002, with a purpose to change the generation and a sole mission to bring worship to all nations, 1am. Neil, the frontman of the pack rocked the stage with a few solo which is to be in the upcoming youth album, "Changed". They gave out a soon to be released single, "Crooked" which is targeted to take the mainstream by storm. Not intending to only reach out to the Christians, they are all set for today's generation.
The one performing after 1am would be the tenaganita ladies who came from a non-governmental organization brought over by one Serene (pun intended), a graceful lady who taught tenaganita the dance that they performed that night. They danced to 3 oldies in their self made costumes and it was beautiful.
The last but not least, closing act of the night needs no further introduction, our very own Mia Palencia. It was all giddy and stars for some of us as she came up on stage, getting her stuff ready and checking on her mic and her guitar. We've seen some of her best performances so we kinda knew what to expect which was great because it always leave us wanting to hear more. She sang a couple of numbers like Biru, men/women's disease (i forgot what was the title - someone help me!), a cover of switchfoot's twenty four and a few other songs.
That was it for this round of our first ANNIVERSARY!!
More will be coming up in the coming year of 2009. The team has been talking about a new direction and so expect alot more interesting lineup and prizes to be won in the coming year. We hope that all of you would enjoy your holiday, your Christmas, your New Year, your Chinese New Year, your Valentines with your family and your loved ones! Till we meet again, Rock on!
Peace out
