Emerge 1st day =]

A day full of various events.. with entry by wrist bands. it turned out quite nice, not as boring as last year..;p hope tonight, the finale, is even better.



First was the Transformers event. they really spent a lot of effort making it look real. one group's transformer really looked like a jeep! all looked very nice, especially on screen. very robotic. haha.. LU's transformer was bumblebee. cute, but a bit damaged. ;p

Next was some drum performance. followed by praise and worship

then they had a hip hop dance by o-school, singapore. not bad la. but i still think urban groove is better. the best!=]


after that we had talent time performance by the finalists. the drumer was only 14!! and he was so good. the guitarist was also quite good.

Next was a violin performance by rebecca tan, a child prodigy from Malaysia who graduated from trinity college and the london school of economics. pretty? yeah. what i liked most was her ever changing facial expressions according to the music. sometimes moody, sometimes smiling, sometimes thoughtful..

Then they interviewed Elim Chew, founder of 77th street, entrepeuneur of the year 2002, 2003. who was supposed to be rich and successful, on 20 boards, including NUS. what was remarkable was that she had always been the outstanding student - outside standing. and yet she could be so successful. so i guess God can use anyone if you are willing

A special guest, milk, from taiwan gave a performance too. two songs altogether. i didn't know who he was but got to know later that he was from energy previously. quite good looking, but a bit fat.;p

Last but not least, the parade of schools! i think the best was from MINT, but somehow they had some trouble doing three tier formations. one girl almost fell a few times. yet, they managed to shove her up in time and she will immediately smile radiantly. one group, forgot which one, did some helicopter-like thingy where three horizontal girls were thrown to the adjacent place at the same time. dunno how to say it. must see for yourself only you will understand. haha.. LU was, well, full of transformers. thanx to you know who. and we saw some very familiar steps. but i still think the original was the best! go pharmaknights!!

sermon by pastor Kong Hee:
bout being creative. Solutions, creativity, originality, esthetic outlook

3 words God doesn't like: difficult, impossible, cannot be done

What i think is most interesting is when he said that God does things with style. coz He did not just sign an agreement with Noah or give a handshake, he drew a rainbow..

i alwayz thought rainbows were very beautiful. =]
