House Singing 2015
When
you start hearing low hums of melody coming from all the boys’ houses, you
definitely know what time of the year it is. Yes, it’s Irinah’s most
anticipated House Singing competition!
Rife
with friendly, sometimes extreme rivalry, it remains one of KTJ’s most honoured
and lasting traditions. This year was no different; in fact, each house
actually stepped up their musical game, especially the boys’ houses.
Nadzaruddin
got the whole auditorium applauding with their energetic dancing and quirky
song choice of ‘Love Runs Out” which landed them in second place. The
champions, Naquiyuddin, ended the show by bringing the house down with an
adorable act which transported viewers into the African safari then wrapped it
all up with their pumped up version of Uptown Funk.
Irinah
too, put up an astounding effort and we took breaths away from the very first
note we sang. Our rendition of Some Nights, Walking on Sunshine and Edge of
Glory blew the audience away because of the infectious energy radiating from
our beloved Irinians! To put it colloquially in the most tongue-in-cheek way,
we were ‘on point’ with our synchronisation. The night was filled with
enthusiastic cheers for the amazing, jaw-dropping performances showcased by
each and every house.
We
came in third this time round but it did not come without hard work and
dedication from all our committed Irinians from the Form Threes to the Upper
Sixers. It took many sessions of singing practices, dancing rehearsals and
planning to get up ‘pitch perfect’. In the short span of just three weeks, the
juniors put in their all to do well to learn the songs and perfect the moves
while the seniors were knee-deep in some hugely intense discussions on what
would be best for our performance ranging from harmonising to costumes to
choreography. But all of us would agree that, without a doubt, it was all worth
doing it for the house with our unique Irinian spirit in the end.
