Chingay'10~

It's a really really bad thing, this effect on people, that urge to always want what you can't get.. I'm itching so bad to write and ask for it but i know i must not be defeated in this battle of will and emotion display; it's like a game of manipulation. Perhaps it's another mind game I created, but how else should it be? It is the only ever way I know how to play it. I just wish it werent' so complicated, it never was supposed to be this way. sighs.

Alright enough of the mysterious talk. Wanted to blog about the fantastic Chingay parade yesterday!! It was a riot of colours and a wonderful display of dance and music! So glad to be a spectator this time after last year's participation; I thoroughly enjoyed myself! Though I think i might've looked like a maniac throwing abandon to the wind and running alongside the KR troupe waving the gold pompom. -_-. haha, we only live young once no?

Came alone actually, but the great thing about a community past or present is that some of it sticks around all the time! Was supposed to wait for joce and beng for my tickets, but I met some Eblkers near the stands and entered early, trying to check out the floats and all.. entered the stands with dozens of KR ppl already seated in bunches, but I still ended up seated with just Daniel alone cos I was too excited and didn't know I could sit with the Cblkers! Boo.

But I still enjoyed the whole procession! The number of people performing was immense; I loved the front part where there were dozens of Lion and Dragon dancers, which at some point had those real fire crackers which were deafening and uber smoky. But I always held some fascination for fire crackers I have no idea why, and these were the kind which were banned and we hardly ever see in Spore. They literally go pi li pa la!! hahaaha okay bimbo i know but i was really intrigued. And I loved it when the place burst open with canary yellow paper slips that floated all around and twirled down towards us! It really is an experience you can't get watching it from TV.

Anyway can't rmr much about the rest, I really wish I had a DSLR so I could take pretty pictures of such moments; pretty sure I would capture a picture to depict what I felt. That's already been sitting in the piggybank list. :)

So when KR's float came by we started cheering from our side, and a few of us ran down from the stands to follow their movement towards the end..super crazy!! I really hope i didn't embarrass myself. LOL. But that was really the fun part! i only wish that I had more company! Should've joined rach and joycie them on the first day.. :( But i had joce for company, which was good as well.

Met up with Heidi and zhu and some of the Cg gang and hung out til late..it was a good night, it's back to work tmw..

Gosh I'm super worried for so many things not done!! Gahh I really hope that all's going to be fine for the SRM, people do come down and support ya! :) Clarke Quay, Clarke Quay!


I really can't wait for a holiday.
