Chingay 2008

a.

Chingay Singapore 2008 was held on 16 February, Saturday. And I'm proud to say, like the previous years, I was there to watch, not the preview, but the actual day.

The only difference was that, this year, I bought two tickets. As mentioned, it was actually for Pancake, but I got to know he actually held a "party" at his place on the night that the Chingay was held. Obviously, he wasn't keen on what I wanted to share with him.

Anyway, had Sean to go with me! Oops, I wasnt concentrating??::

This is the crowd at 6.30pm...::

This is the crowd at 8pm!!::

First event is none other than the long awaited F1!! But its almost impossible to capture on camera or video. It was travelling at 180km/hr... (Now I know how fast I drove in Msia.. it looks freaking danerous!)::There were dancers::There were Lion Dance::

And their troupe::

There was even Star Wars::There were performers with FIRE::

There were climbers?::

Also have the Miss Singapore where I videoclipped but abit lazy to load it up here.

I love their costumes!!::There was also this children performance... Good old days....::

Best is this!!!::

Men with G-strings! Yummy!! I also videoclipped their entire performance, but like too big a file to be uploaded. Takes ages...

Look at how engrossed I was!!::

In my comfort Zone::And the finale ended with fireworks::Taking a rest before moving on for dinner at Bugis.Really tiring, snapping almost non-stop since 7pm to 10pm. Thanks to Sean, had not for him, I wouldnt have captured pictures with such ease! Yay^^

Dinner was a treat by him. Yummy! No Q and food was great! He definitely know his directions very well. If not, we'd probably ended up somewhere in the crowd and ultimately maybe even not able to have dinner. Thanks, Sean!

Then I hurriedly head over to YN's place for gambling session at 12am, took a cab there!

The gambling only started at about 1am and only till at 3am. I was soooo freaking tired, remember? The day before I only slept 3hours then stressed out at Chingay, I couldnt stay awake another 30mins I felt... But...

Look at the gamblers! Note who's smiling the happiest!!::

Yes, the one in Pink on bottom most right, Elvin Ng. Why he the happiest?? He won the most!!!

Him feeling a little paisey, gave the boys (YN's brothers and some are my juniors) money for supper but the boys rejected. And so, Elvin suggested WE ALL have "breakfast" together so he get to pay. My gawd, I was already so tired. But still, we went... Coffeeshop at freaking 3.30am+.

When we left the table at the coffeeshop at 4am++, I thought finally I can get to rest my eyes and sleep. BUT!!! The boys wanted to take pictures with him, not just group picture but also one-to-one!

Yeah, by the time they dilly dally, already 5am. Thank you all. Hahaha. He should have seen how DR, YN, KL and my face looked like in the car while waiting for him.. Elvin has work on the following day at 7am. But he still looks great (cant tell he is tired or what sia!), maybe artiste is like that, grooming, image!

Hence, my weekends = terribly lack of sleep!
