Whoosh! IU Day was MIND-BLOWING! To those of you who didn't get an oppurtunity to join us that day, this one's for you guys! :D
The event kicked off with two of our very own amazing singers, Yang Jiew and Phoebe's duet while everyone took their seats. Right after that, everyone was serenaded by the sounds of violin that was being played by Crystal Gan and Shuet Ling with the piano.
Our emcees of that day, Crystal Gan and Arief took over the stage and the roll calls were made. Both of them looked marvelous in those winter clothes (Russia=cold country, get it? ;D) ! Then came the speeches by our guest of honour, Rotarian Hardeep followed by speeches of the IU Directors, Regina Tan and Nicholas Elam Shah. Somewhere in between, the national anthem and interact song was sung.
And finally, its was time for the opening act! And so the they played the video and everyone literally rolled on the floor laughing! Comments like 'THE VIDEO WAS EPIC!!!' pretty much describes the video. :) The main idea was for the interactors to crush in Russia and then explore the country. After the video, there was a short sketch. Suddenly, the crowd was suprised by loud marching sounds coming from the entrance. *thump thump thump* The army boys marched in all the way to the stage and perfomed one of the most MIND-BLOWING, JAW-DROPPING army dance ever!
Soon after that, Nasreen and another guy performed Russia Roulet followed by the groovy Latin dance. Later, a touching Aids Awareness video was presented and the donation box was passed around so that everyone can give as much as they can towards the cause. And since all us were starving, we decided to take a break and fill up our stomachs for some more action waiting in line! :D
Soon after, everyone entered the hall and the show began! After all the dance, it was time for some musical, the Nutcracker! :D And then came the street dances! First was a combined hip hop dance by the St.John boys and SAB girls followed by hardcore krumping that got the crowd all hyped up and euphoric!
They say, 'save the best for last'. And we saved the best for last indeed. It was time to put the runway to good use and let the models strut their stuff! It was an amazing, colourful and eye-chatching fashion show. The models were led by Nasreen and Wai Sheng.
Right before the closing cremony, souvenirs were pesented to the schools present by both IU Directors. As for the grand finale, all the performers, led by the Board of Directors from both schools walked up with heads held high to the stage and danced along to some songs.
To sum it all up, it was an AWESTRUCKING , memorable event for eveyone. Though it was not an easy job, we managed to pull together an awesome show which we believe eveyone enjoyed. Thanks for coming guys!
