I’ve heard a lot of variations of this song, but they’re mostly boozy memories from my National Service days of which the most distinct recollections I have revolve around glitzy lights, techno music and off key tones (or so I was told the following day). No wonder I was usually drunk during those ocassions, it was the only way to get through the night with my sanity intact!
Needless to say, I was a little hesistant when I found out that this would be the song Class Act would be playing. Thankfully I didn’t have to reach for my keychain that doubles as a bottle opener. The style adopted was a rather refreshing take for a beautiful song that’s been corrupted by techno. My particular favourite was the opening with the er hu.
Anyway, enough drivel. Have a look for yourself and feel free to comment. – Jin

And so we did video coverage for the Global Social Innovator’s Forum organised by the Social Innovation Park. Held at the spanking new Fusionopolis, we were amazed at how different the place was. Jet Li was there and so were many ministers and well, I’d say it was really fun meeting up with old friends during the shoot. Oh well, do enjoy the pictures.
