Chingay Rehearsal @ F1 Pit

1st rehearsal @ F1 Pit (10th Jan 2015)

Last year, i had 2 Chingay rehearsal @ PA Headquarter. This year, the rehearsal is in F1 Pits Building as on the actual Chingay Performance, it will be held at F1 Pit Building. Our 1st rehearsal starts from 9am and ends at 2pm.

There's transport provided from the Community Centre where i had my Zumba class to take us to the F1 Pit Building. After alighting, saw the above banners regarding the Chingay 2015.

Walking towards the meeting point.

At the F1 Pit Building, it so happen that the rehearsal is in the morning, so it's very hot.

During the rehearsal time

Lunch that is provided, find that the rice is too much, they should have give lesser rice and one more dish.

While having lunch, saw this view from the opposite side, so took picture of it.

3rd rehearsal @ F1 Pit (31st Jan 2015)

Rehearsal is from 1.30pm to 5.30pm. Actually i thought of skipping this rehearsal as there's Chinatown Light-up Ceremony that day, i thought of going to Chinatown, but was told this rehearsal was very important as it's the last practice to adjust the positioning on where we were to stand on the performance day.

If i were to go after the rehearsal, it will be quite troublesome as the douli, it's not heavy, but bulky, and to bring it along, inconvenient.
