Chingay 2013

This is so unreal, I mean after rushing from morning till night for the past 3 days, Chingay 2013 is FINALLY over! Not that I'm looking forward for it to end, but it definitely was tiring especially on saturdays. This Chingay was quite a special one, I joined them only in January and yeah, here I am 1.5 months later and performing. How cool is that! Many stuff I've experienced before and is not new to me, but the thing that always changes every single time is the company! I've made many new friends this time, much more than what I expected. My first friend that I made was actually Michelle! (:


It was just this random rehearsal where my sis and Nicole decided not to go and I'm all alone, then she suddenly came to me and asked me to help her in the choreography. And we became friends! :D Of course in Chingay you have different groups, and I have one of the craziest people in my group!


Pardon me for my big-small eye, but this is my clique in our group of about 30 people! Mainly JJ, Jasmine, Yunkai and Aqil~ We go crazy and do the most random things ever, especially when we are bored. For the past 3 days, wheever we have extra time, I'll play games with them like 'Concentration', 'Big Fish, Small Fish' and also 'Who, What, Huh'! :D It was really really fun especially with all of them! Whenever we start our game is it like 6 people.. then in the end the group size will double. LOL! This year's performance will not be the same without them, we always sing loudly and do crazy stuff together. Also, another group of people that will always go crazy..


The 3 of us and Lia and Trishah :D Young people always go mad together. Hahaha, I know them through Nicole and we just talked! I didn't make all new friends, I have people that I already know when I joined Chingay.. And they all so happen to be overly attached.. (thankfully not to me.)


Kenneth, Nicole and of course my sister! Hahaha. They made me feel more comfortable when I first joined :) Cause I know that I won't be totally alone. 

Thursday was the full-dress rehearsal and then it POURED. So basically all of us were litereally DRENCHED and SOAKED! Thank goodness I brought slippers cause I went to school before going to Chingay and was too lazy to wear my black shoes the entire day. I also ALMOST wore white tank top, imagine what the rain could do to my tank top.. :/ Hahah. We were all soaked and cold. Then they still gave us ICE CREAM, it was Magnum Gold Almond. I didn't take it because I'm not a fan of that ice cream and what more almond. So yeah, went home and KO.. Anyway, this year I didn't feel nervous at all, which was kind of a surprise to me. On friday (aka the first day of Chingay) I still couldn't believe that I'm going to perform to live audiences.. Friday I went super late cause I learnt my lesson on thursday to not arrive too early or else I'll only be rotting there. So friday I met Kenneth at about 1pm we slowly eat and then went study and finally went to the tentage at about 4pm! Yaoliang and Joel came and join us to walk there too! Kenneth took a quick jumpshot which I thought was an awesome shot.. 




Yeapp, and I realize Kenneth's talent in drawing using one of the app on my iPad called 'Paper'! He drew really well! I shall not post all the photo here, it is on my facebook. Anyway, the first day I also got a good news, and that is I won a Canon Selphy Photo Printer!! I WAS SO STOKED~ omg.. hahaha.


It came as a blessing and suprise to me, I was definitely happy to the moon and back! Then yeah, went out to perform the first time. I 'cockroach' 2 times, thank goodness I flipped back really quickly. The rest of the performance went smoothly. They gave us B&J ice cream, one of my favourite flavour some more - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough! Then we went back and took random jumpshots and all. FAILED.



Then we went and wait for the bus. WAITED FOR ALMOST AN HOUR.. We were so pissed that I have no choice but to call JJ and ask her to ask another guy about the bus because apparently the ushers at the bus pickup point said that our bus isn't there. Then after playing the waiting game, we finally got on our bus. Went back home, rested and yeah. 

Finally the last day of Chingay, my group people thought that I'll meet Kenneth to go Chingay together. LOL, they must be joking. Anyway, did makeup and all as usual, then we waited and waited and talked and ate and took stupid videos. Jasmine was being really crazy and recorded some videos, which I edited...












This is how you drink H2O.. Jasmine didn't want to smudge her lipstick, and so she drank her H2O like that. I filmed it. HAHAH! Then when we were all about to finish our food, she did another crazy thing, her so-called 'Magic Trick' she got me to look at it so in the video, I'm squatting in the background.





Hahaha it's pretty retarded... Okay, so after eating we practiced and finally we are out to perform! This time it was all good, I didn't cockroach at all. However, I was trying to avoid the flag barriers at all time. They are so scary.. :/ HAhaha, then finally walked back to tentage, exhausted but satisfied. We rested and removed makeup, changed and chilled. Then took our bag and zoom off to catch the finale! They actually let us into the performing ground! So we were just awkwardly walking around in our slippers and tshirt. When I say 'we' I mean me and my sister. It was crazily fun, the foam and everything! SO FUN! We party like there's no tomorrow!




Yeah, so we went to meet our parents then walked to MBS.. took mrt and finally got home..

Tired, but enjoyed myself. Time to get back to my normal lifestyle. The next event? Singapore Kindness Movement flashmob, anyone interested? :)
