Chingay 2012 - A Waterway Parade of Love & Care

First time as Production Crew for Chingay 2012!

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!!

Then the props crew (bridge people) came back with balloons.








Then we koped pompoms too!

& 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.
(:
