The crew...
Chingay rehersal will be held on the 30th Jan 09 (Friday) and the actual event will be on the 31st Jan 09 (Sat).
Photos i took on the 10th Jan 09 (Sat) on the Full dress rehersal.
We went around to see the back stage works, and looking at all the people, and the floats, and the equipment, one does wonder the amount of work done for this event, the amount of preparation, the amount of money spend, the amount of headaches the PA people has...
And the amount of training the participants went through...
Amazing...
Here's some of the photos.
And someone got into the staring (Kua Simi) act...
Participants taking a break.
Practising time...
The props... The horses are not completed yet... so are some of the floats...
Debriefing time for a show segment.
And another debriefing time for another show segment
In case you misunderstood, this is a real horse. And on it, you guess who loh...
Some of the participants taking a break, and watch other participants perform.
While we sat down and watched the whole thing.
The dragon dance.
There are 2 dragons... the other one is huge, heavy and made of dried grass.
Believe me, it's heavy. See the amount of strength they needed.
And they keep changing people holding the poles, coz it's that heavy...
More practices of various segments participants...
Which they redo, and redo and redo...
The chicken and the boy...
Dance performance by the NTU people
Singapore Sports School and Toto board's display. Yep, i got the "angpow" which they are going to throw to the crowd. Guess what's inside?? No money... :(
Poses from the participants...
1) Auntie Rambo... "whose blood you want?"
Monster dunno from where...
Simple fashion
Ace of hearts... A walking card from "Alice in wonderland?"
Flower auntie
A walking ang pow??
"make sure my hair does not drop".
Both of them are so shy.. Especially the girl.. When i ask her for some pose, all she gives was this...
Until i demostrate what a simple pose was, and she copied my demostration...
Angpowfull uncle striking a beautiful pose!!
Now, it's teddy bearfull auntie...
A Rambo wannabe, who uses empty film cannister as "ammo", who forgets to bring his rifle and decides to use his fingers as a weapon that shoots universal rounds. "BANG BANG!!" Follows beside him is his fan, the young batman.
The CD girl. As i was asking GL, does all those CDs come from custom who caught ppl smuggling VCDs, and they don't know what to do with the confistcated CDs?
The end of part one.
The next post on chingay will be the run. So, stay tuned!!
