VIETNAMESE SINGING

The support of our friends—Vietnamese Student Society and Indian Student Society was gratefully appreciated. Their guitar player had played it very well along with the wonderful singing. The motivation they had explained the spirit of teamwork among diversified nationalities.

The whole party's highlight was the beatboxing performance. The talented student made all sorts of music sounds by only using his mouth. His professional performance perfectly rocked everyone's heart. He also managed to show Gangnam Style in a very different way, which absolutely opened audience's eyes.   

Thanks to our Emcee, it's impossible to hold a successful party without their active performances.

CEO Forum

(19^th November 2012)
On 19th November 2012, our CEO forum was held at 7 pm in Spring Singapore Auditorium.


The event received overwhelming response where more than 600 people attended the seminar. Many of them are working professionals and students yet with great interest they came early to get a closer spot to the speaker.

Mr Andy Ong, CEO of ERC Holdings, as usual gave an inspirational and insightful speech to the audience highlighting the recent happenings in today’s property market, how we can cope with the rapid changes and what is the valuable knowledge derived from the market situations.

With his up-to-date market analysis and insights, Mr Andy Ong candidly shared with the audience on his views and strategies for the upcoming year ahead. At the end of his sharing, the audience was given the opportunity to have a Q & A session with Mr Andy Ong. It was such an interactive exchange of questions and views among the audience and Mr Andy Ong, that the Q & A session almost overran the programme.

Mr. Andy Ong's powerful speech and informative Q & A session were the highlights of the event especially when he shared his personal experiences in his recent globetrotting trips in various countries and his personal observations and analysis.

The audience is looking forward to the next CEO Forum in Mar 2013 at Marina Bay Sands where a few other CEOs & successful leaders will also be speaking alongside with Mr Andy Ong, for yet another insightful and interactive session of information and insights.

Her seven-minute performance was spectacular bringing a loud of applause. She also showed up her dancing skills not only in classical dance but also in western and traditional dances too.

MIME:

The highlight of the show was this MIME. It is acting a story through body emotions without any dialogue. Our team of 12 members sent a message to the audience by reiterating using mobile phones wisely. Even though the message was paramount, our boys delivered it in a hilarious way which was enjoyed by everyone.

DRAMA:

The mythical story of Deepavali was re-enacted by our students that depicted the rise of Deepavali. The costumes and accessories of the casts were unique and some of the drama team members were able to unveil their hidden talents by their emotional outpour during the drama.

There was also unconditional support from other private education institutes (PEIs) in their outstanding performance of dance, songs and music.

INTERNATIONAL FUSION DANCE:

One of the main highlights of program was the international fusion dance. The Chinese girls danced in traditional Indian sarees while the Indian boys danced for the Chinese traditional dance. There was an overwhelming support from the audience.

As the ISS has concentrated on not only the Indian students but also opened for all other nationalities to bring out their hidden talents. They also had external participants from other PEI’s such as JCU, NUS, PSB, AEC and MDIS students as performers in our SPARK FEST. We also had special guests and school representatives from Malaysia.

The ISS committee was pleased by the number of people who attended the function which surpassed 110.
