Chingay Parade Reflection

  Before I went to the Chingay Parade, I thought it would be boring watching the floats as they were all the same. I was just going there to take pictures and complete the CID power point. However, i was amazed by the floats and the dances. There were all kinds of floats from different cultures and they were colourful. Not only that, the floats had light which made it more beautiful under the night sky. During the parade, i saw many ethic costumes from different cultures like India and Chinese. The dances were also entertaining and there were also musics that hyped up everyone. The light effects were cool and the dark sky made it even better. This made everyone feel like dancing to the music too. The dancers were all professional and had practised well before performing. I learnt the different cultures of Singapore and learnt to appreciate the cultures. With that, I can tell that Singapore is united as one regardless of the different races. This was a very different and great experience as we went with the whole Year 2 cohord and bonded with each other. We even cheered together and everyone was really enjoying themselves and were shaking the pong-pongs in the sky while dancing. I can sense the spirit that RV has and we were really bonded even though we were from different classes. At the end of the parade, there were fireworks and it was really captivating. Everyone was enthralled and began taking photos. There were also confettis and everyone started to try catching them. I had a great time and it was worth it spending the saturday night there. I hope there will be more of such events as it was a great experience:)
