Eusoff Jams with Jieming

Story Type: 
Event Write-up

By Sharanya Rao

True to its name and claim, Culture Shock proved to be a night of unexpected and totally exciting twists and turns.

 
Organised by the Performing Arts Committee as well as the supporting teams like the Culture Committee and Stage Management, the concept idea have been formed around three months ago and preparations alone took them a month, says JCRC Performing Arts Director Joo Fee.
 
 
 
Titled Jamming with Jieming, the show was obviously hosted by third-year student Jieming, whose amazing impromptu performance had everyone in splits of laughter.
 
His quick-thinking skills were tested during a few technical glitches – especially so during the Eusoff Dance performance when their music got jammed twice in a row. Nonetheless, the clever cover-ups by Jieming meant that many could not even tell if the hitches were part of a script or plainly unrehearsed. 
 
Coming dressed as creepy ghosts, witches and the devil – played by conductor Andrew Sophian himself – the Choir also had a few surprises up its sleeves. In line with the Halloween celebrations, they performed dramatic renditions of popular songs like “The Pumpkin Song” and “In the Still of the Night”.
 
 
One highlight of the show which had audiences rolling in laughter was helmed by Nikhil, who came in the form of Pandit Birju Maharaj, a so-called Kathak (Indian dance) maestro from India. His Indian accent and punch lines, coupled with his funny antics as he tried to teach Jieming the art of Kathak, kept everybody amused and definitely was a large dosage of “culture shock”.
 
Conversely there were also a few first timers, such as the Eusoff Band Hat Trick Heroes, who performed their debut show with a bang. They played their version of the popular songs by Matchbox Twenty “Let’s See How Far We Have Come” and another hit by the Dixie Chicks.
 
During the show, this year’s much-awaited Dinner and Dance theme was also unveiled to be “Time and Again”, through an interesting inter-block game of Hangman.
 
Ending the night of with a bang was the closing performance by Eusoff Band 10 Minutes Late. Besides a unique mixed rendition of the popular Cranberries hit “Zombie” and “Face Down” by The Jumpsuit Apparatus, the performance was also special in a way that it was vocalist Shanta Arul’s last performance before going on exchange next semester.
 
The response by the residents was also encouraging, many responded saying it was “a brilliant show”, and most were “extremely impressed by the impromptu action of the host in certain out-of-the-script situations”.
 
Jamming with Jieming drew a perfect conclusion to Octofest, which also involved resident coming together to put up a show every Thursday in the dining hall for two consecutive weeks. All in all, residents unanimously agreed that “this is a brilliant concept, and we should really do this more often!”

Movie Premiere of "The Forgotten – A Eusoff Hall Film Production"

By Sarah Yap

Eusoff’s first film in five years made its Grand Premiere at Sinema Old School on Monday, 20 October. It was indeed a night to remember as our culture scene had once again taken a great leap forward. 

The Forgotten revolves around the story of Dave and Jessie, played by Vijay Liew and Sopphia Loo respectively, an undergraduate couple whose love faces seemingly impossible hurdles.
 
Would they overcome them all? Yeap Meiyi, Director and Scriptwriter of The Forgotten said: “Well there are only three ways I think the story can end but I suppose it is up to you, the audience, to decide which way you’d like to believe it does.”
 
The two screenings, at 7pm and 9pm, saw almost sold-out crowds who laughed and cheered at the appearance of familiar faces in the various scenes. A particular scene involving the faces of the two lead actors meeting really close to one another seemed to have gotten the loudest cheers.
 
“It wasn’t a kiss! Merely a good camera angle that made it look like one,” exclaimed Sopphia as she was bombarded with questions about it during both post-screening discussions with the cast and crew.
 
“I think the whole screening really brought out the best of Eusoff. Everyone was involved in the film and the screening in some way or another – whether directly or had friends who played a part in it. It is really amazing what we can do when we all come together,” said Esther Lau, a member of the audience.

Internal Band Performance 2008

By Tang Xi Wen

In a bid to formally introduce the five different bands of Eusoff Band to one another, an internal band performance was held on Thursday night to serve as a gathering for all members.

 
Organized frequently, the goal of the event was essentially to serve as a platform for bands to showcase their talents – and basically put themselves up on a shelf to be critiqued, constructively of course. But obviously, no band was really shot down as every single one of them had their own uniqueness to show.
 
The atmosphere was really high as the band room was packed full with musicians eager to meet the high expectations set by the seniors. Kim, head of Eusoff Band, expresses his thoughts about the bands.
 
“The bands this year are much better than last year. We’ve come a long way from before and now, we have garnered a lot of attention, a lot of expectations from Eusoff. Bands are now a lot more serious than last year and we’re going to get better and better,” he says.
 
Indeed, the level of musicality has definitely risen this year, judging by the numerous talents uncovered despite the strictness of the band auditions. That, coupled with the achievements and high standards laid down by the famous Sixology, looks set to pave the way for another electrifying year ahead for Eusoff.
 
So Eusoffians sit tight and wait – this is just the very, very beginning and Eusoff Band has yet to reach its peak!
