Chingay 2010...

Actually this event, I wasn't involve cause it belongs to 501st Legion Singapore Garrison. Eventually I join them alongside with some Movie Mania members, Tim, Reno, Edwin, Janice & Belvick. Well, the 501st had to go through a course of consecutive weekends, training sessions and simulations (mock Chingay parades) to prepare themselves for this grand event, to be telecast island-wide. But for us, we didn't attend the rehearsal cause we aren't from 501st but was invited to join them. The event passed flawlessly, and everybody present was undoubtedly proud to be part of such a historic event. This is my very first time joining the parade, and also the first time with the 501st people marching alongside with them as the Emperor's Red Guard. As we are making our way in, we get to catch our opening ceremony fireworks over our head!!

Before marching in, we watch those performers going in, especially those decorated miniature stages, known better as ‘floats’ were moving in. They were so beautifully decorated. The drumming from the Japan Association rock the performers going in as they beat the drum and the performers out there were screaming, shouting & cheering!!

It was a 200m march spread through starting from the F1 Pit building to the F1 spectator gallery. March and stop then wave or pose at the crowd. Cameras were flashing here & there. It was really fun. And as we had reached the finishing point, we took off our helmet and walk back to our holding area. And before going in we had a photo shoot outside the round about fountain near Singapore Flyer. Then as we are going to have a group photo, the fireworks which marks the end of Chingay just went into the sky, again right above our head and as we take pictures and watch the fireworks simultaneously. After the group shot, we walk back while still watching the fireworks going off. And some of us shouted: 'HUAT ARH !!'. After un suit and packing our stuffs up, Reno brought us to a Chinese restaurant for a Yusheng session as it was Ren Ri (Seventh day), which means everyone's birthday. And we even had crabs and that's what we had for our supper.

We catch ourselves appear on TV the next day. When Gurmit was commenting at Janice live: 'I never see this girl before in Star Wars!!'. This is the Imperial Guards, they got no facial expression!! Sibei funny leh. Ah ha ha.
