St John's School Talent Night In KB
By Tony Alabastro

Kuala Belait - Elvis entered the Kuala Belait Bandaran Hall, rocked around the clock, woke up little Susie, shaked, rocked and rolled to the jailhouse rock and was in the mood to perform during the St John's School Talent Night on a rainy Wednesday night.

There were four Elvis Presley impersonators holding toy guitars during a rock and roll dance performance by lower primary students to the sounds of Glenn Miller, Billy Haley and the Comets, and the king of rock.

Two Trinidad sisters and their youngest brother were almost in every song and dance category, plus three international dance exhibition numbers and romped away with prizes.

Manea, who started singing at an early age, sang On My Own, and forgot to switch on her microphone. She garnered third in the junior solo singing category.

Myeka joined the jeans-jacket-andpants and hair band-wearing girls who danced to Rihanna's Pon De Relay to garner third in the modern dance competition.

Brother Miggy, in white cap, red shirt, and white pants, did the cartwheels and followed Adrian Arias' choreography, improved by sister Manea, in the boys' group dance Gasolina, and won second in the modern dance competition.

Myeka and Manea were among the School Dance Club performers who danced to a Venezuelan song about the feelings of people who had left Venezuela, an oil producing country twice the size of California, on the Caribbean coast of South America, but still think of going back home. Marie Perez sang a song in her native tongue as the Trinidad sisters joined her daughter Claudia in the dance.

The Trinidads were among the SKS Dancers in the Scottish Dance performance taught by Stuart Wheatley of SKS Woods. He comes from Scotland, one of the constituent countries of the United Kingdom in the northern third of the island of Great Britain.

The dancing sisters also performed in Sharika, a modern dance exhibition, after the female singer's song Hits Don't Like, where the performers represented soccer teams and even had a soccer ball on stage.

The other junior solo singing winners were Lika Hawa Gemica, who sang Aku Bukan Untukmu, I", Rhona Ducusin Hadap, who sang Forever's Not Enough, 2"d, and Ainsley Kaye Nirona, 4th Rhona and Ainsley performed with the Trinidad sisters in one competition and three exhibition dances, except in the Seventh Heaven Chinese fan and veil dance by Primary students.

Cool-voiced Adonis Ak Sumbang sang Terlalu Sudah, a Malay ballad, for a second time, after he won the senior solo singing category. Form 4 Wee Wei Ming, who jumped and clapped to the sound of Tak Kan Melupakan Mu, copped 2"d, and Dk Sarah Khairunnisa Ph Hj Abd. Rahman, got 3`d with her rendition of Rihanna's Unfaithful.

Veiled girls in black right out of the Arabian Nights creatively and artistically interpreted Eyes Like Yours to top the modern dance competition Everybody sang The Greatest Love Of All, with a Malay refrain, Cinta agung ini, senang ku miliki/Mencintal diri mu, itullah yang utama, to end the night's presentation, as a heavy rain pounded the half-lighted Bandaran Hall, and produced a flood. The chief guest, Haji Kamaludin bin Haji Bungsu, presented prizes to the winners. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
