Mmmmm... I know it's a tad late now to advertise this event, but I just got confirmation of my involvement in it not too long ago. So... yes. If you're interested in hearing the marvelous compositions of those who made it into the finals of this annual Geyao songwriting competition organised by Hwa Chong Institution (College section), then hesitate no more - contact one of the ticketing personnels, their info appended below.

I will be guest performing two songs which I've written... one of which should not be unfamiliar with the current batch of Hwa Chong students. So... yep. Don't mind if you're coming to see me too (as if anyone will do that). Hahahaha...

If you want to go and don't want to go alone, then help spread this piece of news. Come in pairs... in a group... as a class? Hmmm I think it'll be quite scary seeing a throng of people I know though. :| Haha... See you at Geyao 2007. :)

COME JOIN US AT 歌谣2007：实线梦想！

Who is it organized by?
HCI (College Section) CHINESE SOCIETY! :D

Hmm…what is that event?
It is a Chinese songwriting competition organized for students across JCs and Polytechnics in Singapore. The event itself will witness the finalists who will present their songs and be critiqued by our honoroable judges, namely:
Anson Tan (Touch Music Publishing), Peng Chi Sheng (Harbridge Music and Media), Peter Tan (Music Clinic, Project Superstar Judge) and Lester Low (VI Music).

This competition encourages students to let their creative juices flow and compose songs (melody/lyrics) of any genre. After the event, you might also be inspired to venture into song-writing too :D

Okay... but why should I go? Date? Time? Venue? And how much does it cost?
Well you should go because you are paying for a good cause! :D Your presence endorses their efforts to continue composing, what’s the use of having composed a really (insert words of praise!) song but without any audience to perform to?
And who knows, you might witness the debut of a future-superstar! :D

It will be held on the 18th August 2007 (Saturday), 7pm in Hwa Chong Institution (College Section) Cheng Yi Auditorium. And it costs O-N-L-Y $8.00 (NOTE: INclusive of GST!).

Well alright, I need a little more persuasion…so what can I expect?
Gosh my dear, you can expect a lot! :D There will be song performances altogether from students across Singapore. We have gotten a professional emcee who's guaranteed to be lively and entertaining! :) Prominent amongst the judges is Peter Tan, Music Clinic & Project Superstar judge. Are we going to witness another round of tongue-lashing comments/criticisms? Who knows. You have to come down personally to find out! AND…THAT'S NOT ALL. Guest performances will be put up by singers from Ai Qing Hai Music School etc (guest performaners' identities will be revealed one by one as the date draws nearer...)

Alright, I want to go! But one last thing, where will the profits go to? (though NKF scandal has blown over, it’s still wise to be more cautious about whether I’m really supporting a worthy cause…)
Oh come on, the profits will go to the Chinese Society CCA Fund. The Fund is used to support many other events e.g. Drama Camp for secondary school students and An Evening Of Drama 2008 [huangcheng 2008] production.
