Hey alls!
So as part of my module i take,
I was given a mini side project of writing a pre-publicity material for Chingay 2013.
(Which I should say ain't mini at all)
It was definitely an awesome experience
and really helped me to open my eyes to see what i have not seen.
To many chingay is just another parade and
we just gather to see the performances occasionally.
However as I interviewed the performers
(whom were really really nice, they really helped us out even though they were
tired from the long hours of rehearsing so
cheers to them!) i saw a whole new perspective of what Chingay was.
It is not just a parade to show off or
anything, but it was a parade that came from the heart. The heart of the
performers, the co-ordinators and everyone involved.
They
strived on for just one reason "to put up a good show".
One
performer i interviewed told me she joined Chingay after she watched it and
that she got 'goosebumps' from it.
She
was right, I felt the goosebumps when i sat and watch them rehearse.
Okay
enough about my experiences.
Do
check out Chingay if you got da chance and if im not wrong its on TV on the
24th?
I
know that it will be happening on the 24th & 25th at the f1 pit
building so look out for it yeah?!
I guess i wrote enough, enjoy the pictures
below.
All were taken by me and they might be spoilers
but i guess you can say that you should be hyped up for this year's Chingay as
its gonna bring something new and awesome to you this year :D
Cheers!
A small "Did You Know?"
- Chingay started out in 1973 to replace the
firecrackers shows that was banned in 1972 due to safety
precautions.
- in 1985, it started parading around orchard
Road
- Behind the old
Singapore $2 note there was actually a picture of Chingay!
