Been involved in Chingay as a helper/motivator for a few years now. This year was different, I participated as.. AUDIENCE! =D

Got excited when I received invitation from STB. Almost had to reject the invitation due to family gathering, thankfully the gathering got postponed!

Surprised that our seats were pretty good ones, first row in the last sector. =)

Our emcee for the sector. Sorry but I have no idea who he is :p

Seems like.. Starwars have been appearing at quite a few events recently

Let the photos do the talk.

The firecrackers! So excited! But too smoky!

Nice stunt by the Shaolin troup

Think.. I shouldn’t flood ahhaha! Too many photos that I want to share!

Check out my facebook album for the narrations and the other photos!

But but! Cannot miss out on the fireworks! Couldn’t get good photos on the camera, took video instead!

The full set of photos is available on my flickr too =)

Photos are finally in! Received 3, but only these 2 are viewable.

Suddenly I realise.. my face is round compared to 5 yrs ago. Sigh..

Back from Chingay 2008.

Been a tiring 2 days, be it the preview or the actual parade. Nothing’s in proper order. Instructions not clear. Worse was my helpers were all kids. -.-”

Not that I’m biased, sec 3 students have a mind of their own yes. Old enough to think yes. But still too young to help out at such an important area.

Holding area’s one of the more important areas. We have to make sure the floats are in the correct order, make sure that the performers have arrived, make sure that the sequence of the performers in the holding area is correct (so that they go to the performance area in the correct order, together with the floats). In short, we have to make sure the sequence the performers appearing at the performance area is the same as what’s on the emcee’s script.

Interesting scope of work. Did a similar stunt (smaller scale though) before, 11 years ago at NH’s 80th speech day.

But then, I probably should venture into other areas other than admin. =| I didn’t choose to do admin, it was automatically allocated to me. *faints* I don’t want to do admin work! hahahha! Though I was pretty much slacking throughout.. Standing at one point, so that my helpers can find the “landmark”. LOL

If we get to help out again next year, we definitely need more mature helpers. =X
