Why would a young guy like Garrett, rush out from working at home at 6 to beat a nasty bumper-to-bumper 1 hour traffic to be at our Track of Talents in Puchong last month? Well, it’s all about the performances lined up for the most sought after event month after month except this month we have a special guest appearance by our homegrown Ms. Talented Mia Palencia.

The night begun with the 1a.m. Dance who presented a dance (obviously!) to a song, “Imagine Me” accompanied by a moving and heart-wrenching message in the form of a video. Then the crowd was swoon to la la land by the ever-melodious voice of Ben (Ok this is your cue for the Mexican wave!! *Wooooooo*) who has never failed to perform in every ToT with his loyal and talented guitarist, Dominic (he’s single btw *grins*).

Anyways, we then had a piano solo (Variation) after that by an 11 year old Samantha and then a bass solo (Amazing Grace) by the mysterious-multi-talented-I-shaved-my-beard-because-I-don’t-want-to-look-like-neil-basket-man, *drum rolls* Jude Limus!!

Leong came up afterwards with his video on the Ravelution in Sunway University College led by Doris with her enthusiastic group of peeps. They also did a solo by May & Terry with the song, Secondhand Serenade by Awake. Emo yo! The crowd was then serenaded by Jay from the Caribbean’s with “Like a Star” and then a Spanish solo guitar performance by Tom from Sunway University College and not forgetting an Arabian dance number by Faisal and Co.

By that time, the crowd was getting hyped up with anticipation. It was Mia’s turn to close for the night. She gathered her props and composed herself in the middle of the stage looking comfortable as if she was born to do this. Garrett was fidgety and kept breaking his knuckle. Ask him why. She started with “Superman”, a song she wrote and arranged which practically blew us all away. She then ended with a song which she said was always an inspiration to her, Twenty-four by Switchfoot. She got the whole crowd singing along with her and *whisper* *Neil forgot his lyrics*. All in all it was an awesome night with Neil and Capt. Cruz as our host for the evening. And of course the crowd! They were unbeatable!

Here’s a few giveaway of what’s happening in our next ToT in April!
A very very very very very sweet girl, Melina William from the band, Tempered Mental, a very promising Malaysian band will be sharing their talent and doing what they’re called to do, to infuse our generation with the love of music and experimental progressive rock outfits. They were formed recently around February 2002 and they have been playing in a lot gigs around the KL circuit. Tempered Mental’s sound ranges from radio friendly tunes to darker and more aggressive influences and in between these two extremes. If you like their single, “Honestly”, you might want to come and have a look at what this band has to offer *wink*. Also lined up among other surprises, we have a team of inspirational and talented Filipinos and the Ravelution and then of course let’s put our hands together for our wonderful hosts, Neil and Capt. Cruz again!

Ceh Wah.Glamour.
