Chingay reflections :))

Eugene:

              Through the Chingay performance I deeply felt the bond between our different races, different people of different backgrounds all coming together to form this parade. I felt that all the efforts that they made were all worth the time as the different performances were all amazing. They tried to incorporate many different performances that are unique to different races and countries for example, there was ballet, salsa, Chinese dance, Indian dance and more. I find that they were trying to emphasize on racial harmony, one that not many countries. On the whole, if I was given the chance to go again I would definitely go as I feel the performances were really meaningful. Dnh

  

Ming Yi:

            Chingay, is a performance where people from the community come together for a common purpose, to put up the best performance for Chingay, also known as 妆艺大游行. Also, Chingay includes performances from people from different races. It shows that Singapore is a racial harmonious country, thus we celebrate racial harmony day. Chingay shows the Singapore spirit as people from different walks of life perform together on the same stage.

Yih Jie:

          During the Chingay parade, i saw many things. Somethings i have seen before, somethings i have not seen before and somethings i might never see again. I saw people with different cultures, i saw people of different races, i saw people of different nationalities, all coming together to create this amazing performance for us. The whole parade had a very good festive mood and i somehow felt that everyone there was very happy. They also lighten up the mood with fireworks, music, confetti and many others. I would like to thank the performers for their hard work to put up such a great performance as they made something i initially deemed boring to turn out fun. I would definitely go again next year if i have the chance.

Wen Qing:

               Chingay 2014 has been a fantastic experience. Chingay consists of performance from different races. This promotes the racial harmony in Singapore. When I see people of different races coming together and working hard for Chingay, I strongly feel how bonded Singapore is. Also, different schools participated in the Knit With One Heart whereby students in the schools work together to knit a banner. Although making the banner requires alot of time and effort, we managed to complete the banners just in time for chingay! As the fireworks shoot up and light up the night sky, I suddenly feel how lucky I am to be born in Singapore and im very proud to be a Singaporean. I hope I will have the opportunities to go for next year's chingay! 

Si Min:

This year Chingay was Awesome! It was such an meaningful event ! Just like this year theme!!!!!

The theme this year meant how people of different ethnicities and nationalities gather together to perform Chingay 2014. Just like the finale , many different clothes banner were showcased. Eventhough the clothes banner seemed easy to make but in fact it was so tiring and take lots of effort and time to do it , it's like how the participants of the performance flew to Singapore and perform. They  used their free time to practice for Chingay and as the saying goes " 台上三分钟，台下十年功＂没有付出努力是不会有成果的。
