Chingay Parade 2012

Last night was our nation's very own annual Chingay Parade 2012. And I'm proud to say that I've got a chance to witness the whole celebrations live with a couple of friends. The whole atmosphere there was so much different compared to watching the delayed telecast on your TV.



Of course, the human traffic there was crazy. It was like the whole of Singapore gathered at a single place. Although the atmosphere was good, I must admit that improvements should be made to increase the number of signage to direct the human traffic.

As there were different sections for people with ticket (further seperated by colour codes) and without tickets, signs should be put up from all the nearby MRT stations, roads and traffic lights to direct traffic better. At the stands though, signs of the seat number at each stairs should be put up, so that the ushers would not be overwhelmed by the crowd. That would allow us to find our seats faster as compared to asking every usher as we made our way down.

However, applaud should be given for the help of the volunteers that were stationed there to direct the crowd. Even more applause must be given to the performers and the effects, lightings and preparation for such a huge events.

So without further ado, let me welcome the picture highlights (156 photos) for the event.
