Well this is a late post on the event.. but it is worth writing down! I had forgotten much about the event but I'll try to write down as much details as possible on that day. We got the tickets from my grandma who got it for free by sponsers.(LUCKYY, if not we would be paying $50 per ticket, expensive man!)
THE START
We went together with my aunt's family! Had brunch at suntec city before proceeding to the stadium. There was a Festival held along the way there WHICH was a small carnival with games and rides mimicking an amusement park (It has a TINY viking ship for children!! Adorable.) We took a tour around the festival under the scorching sun(the weather is HOTT), before making our way there.
^The red architecture is the small carnival! (which is held on top of the floating platform!! ) It seem small in the photo as the picture was taken from a distance, but it was HUGE!
The Singapura City
Alrighttt, those were the pictures I took along the way to the venue for the Chingay Parade. We had to walk quite a distance to actually arrived there, so, fortunately, the scenery is AWESOMEE, making the journey 'not so tiring'.
THE PARADE
After a while being seated, the pre-parade start. We were seated at the blue seats, at the side of the long stadium while the red seats are the one in the middle. The unfairness level was high as the red's performance was way more entertaining when the parade reaches the middle. BUTT, the parade was coming in from our side. So ya, we get to see the parade FIRST, before they make their way down HURHURR. Beat that rich people in the middle LOL. Now. Pictures.
AYEE the stadium is looooooong. [Pre-parade]
The year of the Horse [Parade]
That particular float has fireworks on it 000ooooOOoo.
ANDDDD NOWWW.
Me favourite part of every parade & a 'must have' in a festival - Fireworks.
PRETTY AYEE??!!! There were dancers, young to old, and some even from other countries like the Philippines! There were flag-throwing, Ge Tai and many many uniquely decorated floats! I was too awed to even take pictures haizzzzz.. My cousins said it was boring, but to mehhh, it was so very entertaining despite the humid weather.
OHHH! Forgot to mention that the president WAS THEREE TOO!! He rode on a float and gave a short speech during the beginning and ending of the parade. He made the speech in the middle section, so DANG IT! Too far away to even take a proper glimpse of him.......... But that doesn't make a difference hahah, it was a good day.
TODAYYYY [7March2014] Nothing uncommon here ._.
