To infinity and beyond

 Hi, first of all wishing everyone a great mid sem break ahead. Whether there are tests coming up after the break, it doesn’t matter to us. What matters now is this is the opportunity for all of us to unwind, catch up with friends and of course to compensate for all the food we have missed for months.



In a blink of an eye, it has been more than a week since we had our 13th annual live concert at Dewan Utama, USM engineering campus. This year's theme is Infinity, carries the meaning of music never discriminates and never dies. Life is starting to get dull and empty without the daily routine of jamming and practising in the music room. Allow me to give a brief recap of what have we all done prior to the concert. Practice started quite late, as Chinese New Year celebration was in the way, so was the CNY night organized by the first year students. Musicians and composers worked hand-in-hand to complete their songs from late evening to midnight and sometimes to the 2am. During this period of time, we made new friends, upgraded ourselves and learn new things.  This year we have quite a number of talented first year’s musicians. All 16 songs were composed by students of USM. Never have I thought of writing a song and even performing it on the stage. This gives me an opportunity and a head start to start writing songs. 

Never the less, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all musicians, composers and lyricists for their hard work to make this concert happen.  In addition, a huge appreciation to the Fund Raising team, for beating last year’s fund record; CAD team, awesome work there especially the design of booklet and the backdrop; VAS team, beautiful animation and lyric pointer; MC team, having more variations to their performances which include synchronized dancing; PER team, catching every great moments of the concert on cameras; IEC team, completing the preparation for the concert; AEP team for publicity in the campus and on Facebook and finally AE team for providing technical support which is the most crucial job for the concert. 

Here is the list of the 16 songs: 
  1.              Infinity
    2.      
    3.       退
    4.       木笛
    5.       还记
    6.       Song For You
    7.       来不及
    8.        
    9.       I’ll always be with you
    10.   幸福箴言
    11.  
    12.   I won’t let go
    13.   数学
    14.   没出息地想你了
    15.   大学记载
    16.   自己的一首



    Here are some of the photos...

Job well done~!

Last but no least, i too like to thank all the seniors who came to watch the concert. Their endless support towards the club is just inspiring. Credits to seniors like Clifford, Sean, Jing Yao and Jun Yan for their contribution to the songs. Special thanks to Zi Xun, for his songs and hours spent on the music room leading us during the practice. And of course to Shen Ji, a loyal member of fund raising despite being the final year student. 

I think everyone deserves a pat on their shoulders for the job done. Feedbacks on the concert were mostly positive. None of this would have happened without the time and effort sacrificed from everyone. I am already looking forward to the 14th annual live concert.

Till then, Happy Holidays and we will see you again in a week's time. 

Tata xD

David
