Show and Glow

Show and Glow: Idea Written Originally by Jennifer Soh Li Wen on 29^th November 2012, Thursday from 3:35 a.m. to 5:35 a.m. (Excluding the Extra Hours of Editing on the Same Day), For CVA 2012

Curtains up,

We shall show again!

The 2^nd Creative Visual Awards,

The event the eyes gaze towards;

A platform not for the rewards,

A platform not for just words.

Imaginaries unfold,

Stories untold;

Cowards of bold,

Fires of cold.

Either Einstein or Eisenstein,

Long live the mind;

From Steinbeck to Frankenstein,

Truly one of a kind.

Dared say your thought,

Gave us what you got;

Even fishes survived at drought,

Masterpieces received are appreciated a lot.

What is a film, really?

Is it just food for the belly?

Is it only When Harry Met Sally?

Remember cameras don’t bias smelly.

Of passion and passionate,

Of mulberry and pomegranate;

Of action and hesitate,

Of awake and meditate.

Thank you for taking us,

Into your dreamlands;

As the souls witness,

Life varies from low to highlands.

On 22^nd November,

2012 is still the year;

The day the juries assembled,

The day played the shortlisted.

Congratulations!

You’re all winners!

A day of two sessions,

Admitting we’re all learners.

Being a human,

Will die any moment;

Any film independent,

A thematic reason.

No matter where we are,

No matter how near or far;

No matter on sand or tar,

No matter full or half a jar,

No matter full or half a bar,

No matter on foot or by car;

No matter whom you are,

No matter off-track or on par.

Color,

Metaphor;

Dollar,

Zephyr,

Pillar,

Sulphur.

The Awards Ceremony,

Talents a symphony;

Marking 11^th December as a blissful memory,

Realizing visual dreams have no boundary.

The one Mr. Wang Chanson,

The faithful Mr. President;

Regardless of the season,

He can make it happen.

Our Double P’s,

Peter and Praven;

Unforgettable Emcees,

Your personas proven.

The only Mr. Hassan Abd. Muthalib,

A talk so rich and mithali;

A 12^th December till sunny tip,

Terima kasih daun keladi.

Our NADI Center,

The ultimate provider;

7 screenings made easier,

Attracting ships of viewer,

Sharing revelations all over,

Films rolling by the player;

3-D artifacts displayed a foyer,

Double days of 12^th-13^th December,

Choices of happiness and sober,

Reminding us how mixed up is the weather.

Dear all involved,

Especially IPS, China, UNIMAS,

Chancellery, Schools, anonymous mass,

Jabatan Pembangunan, and PSA;

For all the ups and downs solved,

We humbly thank you all the way.

Our dear USM,

You value each a gem;

You recognize us this First Sem,

We thank you so much for the bread and jam.

Beloved tertiary students,

Are we enjoying the rhythm?

Life is more than just algorithm,

Step out and start to venture,

You’ll never know what to discover,

You don’t have to precisely measure;

Just believe in every trial and error,

Consider randomness and prudence.

Lighting,

Filmography;

Photography,

Topography,

Calligraphy,

Starring.

The airplane is now ready for takeoff,

This journey has been an abundant rally;

Putting the seatbelt on and signing off,

Xie xie ni, nandri, and merci, yours truly.

Curtains down,

We shall glow again!
