Looking good is an asset and why it cant be you! That was the catch phrase of ET zone, youth event of the year, Bling! Last Saturday afternoon, Riverwalk took on a different facet when the most- good looking youths streamed into the place in their dazzling outfits. The entire place was dotted with shimmering and glittery youths in their best dress code as they were all out to win the Best-Dressed CG for this much anticipated event. It was definitely a fashion display of glamorous accessories and outrageous outfits of creativity of the participating youths.
Bling!, the theme which is to challenge youth to use their talents and their creativity to dare to make a difference, started on a high note with warm welcome and icebreakers. The hosts for this event were Lucas and his company of Kids Central friends, Primero and Candice. Their appearance for this event boosts the hype of the youths to another level of excitement and anticipation.
Some highlights of the day include an awesome Beatbox performance and the zone members themselves put up a dance item professionally even though the young dancers were first exposed to such groovy moves and hip-hop styles. They were indeed a perfect example of ordinary youths showcasing extraordinary attitudes in what they can achieve.
The Event also featured a series of games known as ‘I see you see I see you,’ It was a modified version of the Favourite Taiwanese Variety Show hosted by Jacky Wu, known by all as “Guess Who”. Members were asked to guess who was once a Limbo rocker, the national skipping champion and the one who escaped the tortuous wasabi treat. It wasn’t an easy time for the audiences as all 4 contestants on stage were equally convincing.
Not to miss out the talk- about of the whole event was the Fashion Make-Over. After a scheduled 3 hrs of painting behind closed doors, at the play of the music, the beautifully transformed models sashayed down the runway with their new-fangled hairdo, make up and outfits! Participants were just in awe at what conscious dressing up can change them to and they all voted for their favourite and most successful make over. Of course credits go to the make- up artists that performed the magic of transformation.
The day ended with the hosts announcing the best dressed male and female youth and an exuberant praise song!
With the many innovative ideas and surprises experienced at Bling!, many affirmative and upbeat comments were heard circulating among the youths and their friends. Alfred exclaimed that not only was it an opportunity for excellent friendship bonding but it was definitely an eye opener at what one can do when you dare to be different!
In conclusion, Bling! has expanded the boundaries of the youths at what they can achieve and of course without saying elevated their anticipation for the next zone event!
