Went out on the 12th of February to celebrate birthdays with my '95 girls. The funny thing was that the theme of the day was Retro, & everybody was fussing about what to wear haha!!!

Sweet surprise, mudpie cake from Island Creamery!!!!
^ Ying & Zoe's cross back dress.
Then we decided to head to Macs to eat!
^ Yuting my checkered buddy for the day haha!
Then we shifted to a bigger table to accommodate all of us & we played Polar Bear haha!!! Polar Bear is sth like murderer, with everyone closed eyes heads down, the 2 bears decides who to kill, 1 healer decides who to heal & the cupid decides who to link together so that they either die/get healed together.
^ I'M DA POLAR BEAR.
^ "Why y'all keep saying me I'm not the polar bear!!!!!"
^ This picture is perfect! Litong kept saying how Kityarn has the suspicious looking face & kept accusing her of being the Polar Bear & so yeah. But unfortunately, most of the time Litong was the polar bear & she's damn good at getting people to die of innocence HAHA.
& then we played "I have never"/"I have ever"
We played a few more rounds of polar bear before heading to the Railway Track! (:
Had such an amazing time overall with my girls. My '95 girls always there for me, never fail to make my day with their love & surprises here & there. As JC starts for most of them I really hope that we won't drift that much, they mean a lot to me. Nevertheless, babes if y'all are reading this I just want yall to know that I love you guys so much. All the best for your JC lives! (:
My 17th was simple yet wonderfully spent. Did a lot of catching up with Merilyn after eons, missed her so much. Love how my words just came out & i never had to be afraid to say what's on my mind. Love this girl so much. (:
Thank you so much to the people out there who made the effort to Whatsapp/Text/Tweet/Facebook me a birthday message! I truly appreciate it, every single one of it. Thank you guys, blessed by your company. (:
Initially, the first full rehearsal in January I was super lost. I was supposed to lead 5 PAYM dancers to standby @ Gap AB but i ended up staying with the main contingent at the start of Sector A. Later I was supposed to lead the Indian Dancers back to get props for finale. Ok it was all messed up & it was just bad..
BUT. The 2 performances (3rd & 4th Feb) turned out great!!!! Everything & everyone did so well!!! ^^
Pictures are all taken on 4th Feb. (:
& did i mention i feel so cool being part of the production crew cuz i get a walkie talkie HAHA. K not much but.... Cool lah.
At the garage where we had to wait for briefing.
After briefing, me & Yokekay decided to get out & take pix w the performers! ^^
My Indian Dancers!!!! Seriously such a warm group of people, really friendly & appreciative. Omg I miss em.
踏歌！ Even some students from 北京舞蹈学院 were in the dance. zxcbvndmwokw;salf'
They danced to part of this yesterday
So freakin' pretty lar wlau eh I ALSO WANT. ): But the bad thing for them is that they had to walk in the water for Sector A to C, the water kept splashing together with their long sleeves.
We got bored then decided to find the bridge addicts at Tentage G.
Then I got everyone to take pix w the performers too lol!
^ JAP BOYS. Super adorable.
^ I was on the phone with Marissa cuz she was rushing me to go standby my group sigh so i quickly ran off after the photo.
^ PAYM Group I was supposed to standby at Gap AB. I was only supposed to bring 2 of the 龙头，2 龙尾 & 1 Pearl. Ite I had to rush em like mad cuz super late alr. End up still had to wait. :/
While standing by @ Gap AB,
Opening Item!
Then I had to get the placard to go to the end of Sector F with Clement to pick up our groups for finale. Ite Clement didn't even need to pick up his group cuz they went ahead w/o him. Slacker.
踏歌 Float!
Walked my Indian Dance group back & once again we chatted & all. They asked me "Girl got short cut or not ah?" (Cuz the route back to starting point was pretty long) I said no & i felt so awful inside. Anw they were so warm & friendly oh my. ^^
^ My Indian Dancers! ^^
While waiting for finale, one of them fainted & one guy ran up to inform me. "GIRL MEDIC MEDIC FASTER ONE PERSON FAINTED!" I got so scared cuz nobody responded to my walkie messages nor calls so I just ran to the First Aid corner. I ran so fast & i felt my heart was gna drop out cuz I was so afraid that person would die or sth.
Ok thankfully the first aid arrived before we reached the tent.
Sent my Indian Dancers for finale & I said bye and all. They were super nice to thank me & high five & smile at me. Omg srsly soooo lovely. (:
Went back to Tentage G to find Bridge ppl.
Headed back to the garage & went to Gap AB to watch finale & fireworks! ^^
See the mass of yellow windmills. ^^
Amazing!
Headed back to the garage where everyone started to gather after some time.
Kenna splashed by the dancers at the waterway haha!!
Pig shot #1
Pig shot #2
Wet people!!!!
I'm like the only survivor muahaha.
Then the props crew (bridge people) came back with balloons.
Then we koped pompoms too!
^ YELLOW FLAG
^ Master of dry ice.
Step 1 :
Step 2 :
Step 3: (with Terence attempting to suck it in)
Step 4 :
Tadaaaaa
& then my camera died right before we wanted to take a group picture. Goodness.
Anw, overall being part of the Production Crew for Chingay was truly one of a kind experience. It's actually quite fun working with the performers! They're all so warm & bubbly. Of course initially I was super afraid of screwing up (which I did) but thank God everything went well.
But I still prefer being a performer. HAHA.
All in all, so glad & thankful I got the chance to try being a Production Crew. (:
