Back in Apr 2007, I blogged about how my daughter has won lots of trophies.
Well, praise God because now my son is also following (jump)suit!
Yesterday was the last day of the 2nd school semester and what better way for ACS Junior to mark the end of that than with a talent competition. Junior Superstars 2009 is their version of American Idol /Britain's Got Talent. Amongst the judges were Jacinta Abisheganaden and Michael Loh of Budak Pantai.
My son and his classmate Joshua had signed up for the auditions that was held about two months back "just for the fun of it". There was no expectations of any kind. Well, he came back that day to tell us that they had cleared the auditions and would be participating in the finals!
To give our moral support, my whole family decided to buy tickets (that were priced at $15). He seemed nonchalant about the whole thing but as the day drew nearer, he began to feel slightly nervous and so we said a prayer for him, and told him that what was more important was that he enjoyed himself and did his best.
Well, God had better things in store for him, because he and Joshua, who called themselves The Blue Jumpsuit Apparatus (or TBJA for short) --- hence, the title of today's post about "following (jump)suit" --- actually won the Group Vocalists category with their rendition of We The Kings' Check Yes Juliet.
For doing so, they won a golden trophy and an iPod Shuffle each.
Check out their award-winning performance on YouTube...
But what really made the event different from other talent competitions that I have seen was that the Master of Ceremony Benedict Tan actually started it off with a word of prayer to commit it to the Lord, and ended it by getting everyone to stand and sing the school anthem "ACS Forever". And yes, there were many alumni among the crowd who sang along :-)
