18-02-07 Valentine's Night in Victoria Hall (14 Feb '07)

Event #2: The dinner that night.

Remember that 'Victoria Idol' poster I shew the other day? ('Shew' SHOULD be the past tense of 'show' la... 'draw-drew', 'fly-flew', 'show'...SHEW lo!!) Neh... The 'YOU CAN SHINE!' ah... Aiyah... Fergeddit!! This one ah...

Well, the finals was on Valentine's Day night(as written in the poster...) in conjunction with the CNY Dinner. I got ready half an hour earlier to get a good table. The hall looked quite grand actually...


Initially, I thought the food looked nice and was feeling delighted that we're having a steamboat after all this while...

I only realized how bad the situation was when everone came.

We had no choice of OTHER food(except noodles and vercimilli)
We did not have ENOUGH food for all(Our table had around 11 ppl...)
Anyway, we got over that soon enough and decided to just have fun. Heheh.. I started off by starting this scandal thing... Heehee...
Arvind and Ming Hui!! WOOHOO! (Another proof of racial harmony among Malaysians-:P *clap**clap*)


Lee Kee and Hui Ying! The 'CUTE' couple! No, seriously... They both DO look cute together... :P

The whole hall was packed with all the boarders, with everyone sitting at the tables with their cliques... I was sitting with the OTHER Malaysian scholars.

These here are a few of the Indonesian scholars and 2 Malaysian flow-thru scholars(Aravind-2nd from left, Wei An-2nd from right)


Okay, so we got started...

Ugghhh... From this angle it suddenly looks like 'kueh chap' with balls of some animal and some other pointy part of it...

Here's the 'Before & After' pics... That's Sebastian between Hui Ying and Ming Hui


As we got to the end-point of eating, the 'Victoria Idol' finals got started. They even had the 'Idol song', so funny... Hahah... Okay, you won't get the joke unless you were actually THERE watching it...

Finalist #1: Fritzy & Stephanie(I think...) - Hip-hop mixed with some contemporary dance


Finalist #2: A pair of GUY friends singing...

Finalist #3: A pair of GIRL friends singing this time... What happened to the couples? I mean... it IS Valentine's Day...
The girl on the right sings very well. The one on the left was singing a guy's part so it was... kinda weird.

Finalist #4: Eeeerrr... I jz saw this cute kid here taking pics using most probably his DAD's hp. So young already can use... Wahliew eh... Kids nowadays...

Finalist #4: The Indian dance. Interesting...


Finalist #5: 'Pao' - A Thai girl. That's jz her nickname. I can't remember her full name. Maybe not even her herself, thus the nick! Okay, jk... She DOES!

She sings soprano for our school choir so... You can guess how good she is also.
Finalist #6: This guy singing some love song, resulting in a teacher(a guy...) upon asked to give comments said that he's in love with this guy... YUCK! :)

Finalist #7: ANOTHER pair of girls singing and dancing.

That IS a girl on the left...

Finalist #8: A solo by this PRC girl, Tian Yuan or sth... Quite a sweet voice. She had good friend-supporters, obviously...

And finally...

Finalist #9: Heheh... They KNOW how to save the best for last! ZHANG YIXUN!! My roommate!!
Looks pro, don't he? He's said to be the Josh Groban of our hostel. Talk about hot stuff... Must have ended his 'bachelordom' that night...

The 9 finalists during the 'Result Show'...


... The top 3...


... And...
you guessed it... Yixun's the First Victoria Idol!!
Wow... Talk abt instant stardom... Heheh... Don't worry, Yixun was behind the screen celebrating witht he guys already. These girls were congratulating the other girls.

Here's a close to this entry. The few of us Malaysian scholars.

(Back row: Me, Lee Kee, Shirley, Sharon, Ming Hui and Ngit Ann; Front row: Arvind, Xing Ji and Sebastian)
Oh and this is the prize for the Table Games that we won.(For guessing the thing in 10 pictures.)
We're supposed to SHARE this? among 10-11 ppl from the whole table? HAHAH!!! On the bright side, at least we had fun and got a great time of laughter together. Heheh...
One great thing I learnt from all this is once again that everyone has their own talents and many a times we tend to be able to see them until the circumstances arise. Never belittle ANYONE!!
