at first, it came really out of nothing. okay, well it was ignited by the success of the business foundations' drama competition.
that was when we sat at the canteen and came out with a dunno-whether-it-works suggestion. we can produce our very own singing competition. we had a great laugh about the plan and thought that it was silly as holding such a function would require us to fork out a REAL BIG sum of money.
then .. the thought ended with laughters.
and there came a bombshell when jiwi told me that junxiang was into this thing. he even asked SSD about the procedures and that he got the college to subsidise the hall for the event.
ah... that is when we bestow you with our first and foremost- KBU iCON. almost the whole a-levels student participated in the so called 'A-Levels student council' (according to junxiang lah). departments were established. after all the paper works, multiple phone calls, haste designs of posters, setting up of PA systems, everything had settled down. and i must say that the prizes sponsored were quite tempting.
1st audition- after several persuasions by kahfai and siewwui, jen embarked on a journey into the singing competition. and as predicted, she got through.
2nd audition- me being her personal mentor (eleh), jen chosed to sing 'pu tong peng you' and scored quite high for her vocals. 10 finalists were ready to battle for the title.
being appointed as the 'performance director' no-fun afterall. you have to sort out the arrangement of the theme song, collaborate with the finalist about their song choice, the lightings, basically everything to do with their finale's performance. was glad though it was not a talk-talk-only task.HAHA
the finals was great i must say, excluding some minor technical problems... one of the performance i must mention was the duet part by jen and keith. it was nice.. real nice.. the interaction was good.the finale ended with a high tone after huishan was announced as the winner. her supporters were filled with frenzy. but she was good.. no doubt the title was hers. as for jen, she managed to fit into 1st runner-up. the whole a-levels gang was real thrilled by the results. scream, scream and scream.
and that's year 2006 KBU iCON
