WOW Street Festival at PS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHEN TIANWEN, COLIN AND EMILIER

After school ended at around 1730 hrs (boy was it tiring!), I headed for dinner at Bedok before taking a bus from the bus interchange to Plaza Singapura. A WOW Street Festival competition was about to be held at the outdoor atrium, and I went there specially to root for my classmate Kimberly. I reached the place at 1850 hrs, then decided to read some books at Times first.

The first contestant was a middle-aged Filipino lady named Ruby, and she sang "Don't Cry Out Loud"... her voice was simply POWERFUL!!! Kimberly was the second contestant for the qualifying rounds, and I can see that her voice has definitely improved from last year (so has her confidence). Mohd Faliq then came out and sang an earnest rendition of R Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly". Fourth contestant was Glen Tiew who sang a not-so-good rendition of Elton John's "Circle Of Life". 5th contestant was a young girl named Phoebe (who sang some cheena song). Then came a rather effeminate guy named Sharezan who sang Michael Buble's "Sway". Cute Filipino named Elliot Miranda sang a song from Les Miserables. Followed by 2 young kids named Shelley and Makin... a gal named Violet killed off FIR's "Fly Away", then a certain Siau Yeun sang an ok-sounding song. Poly grad Daniel then got on stage to sing Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around", which actually sounded betetr than Glen's item. Followed by another Filipino singer... and I never thought that ex-colleague Deborah was the last contestant for that talent competition!! Indeed I saw Bonnie and Savina among the crowd, and they noticed me only after they got off their seats!! And that happened when I already noticed them first for abt 15 minutes!! :-D

Before the results were announced, the hosts Genie (multi-talented cutie!!) and a former SSF winner Erick Guansing performed solo items, most notably a modern rendition of "Stand by Me" and "Fly Me To The Moon". Instead of 8 names, the judges made a last-minute decision to pick the best 10 out of the 14 contestants to proceed to the semi-finals... which is to be held at Orchard Cineleisure on Friday
