One day in the North East

A few weeks ago I went to Tampines to watch Chingay@Tampines. Unfortunately this is not the real Chingay parade. I was away when the real parade took place so I only manage to captured the "mini parade."

For those who doesn't know, Chingay is a street parade which held once a year during Chinese New Year period in Singapore. The parade features signature floats, acrobatic acts, lion and dragon dances and stilt walkers. The elaborate costumes make it interesting, not only to see but to take picture as well.

Last year I didn't manage to watch it since I didn't know there are such thing as Chingay. I intended to watch this year parade but again, failed. I didn't realise it was held on 20 Feb and that time I was away. So better than nothing, I went to watch the "mini parade" in Tampines.
I hope I can catch next year parade...
