The gay in my office said:
Chingay Festival is "Festival of the Chinese Gays". 謝謝huh.. Very creative huh -.-
Fyi.. Chingay = "妆艺"
Actually i rather watch Chingay Parade than NDP. I like the concept of the paraders performing to different segments of audience on the street.
Do you all know that there's also a 'Free Expression' area? According to the map, they do it near River HongBao. Like quite cool huh.. they can perform anything they want~
And this year, there's also the 1st ever City Jam 2008, partying in the streets in celebration of post-Chingay.
Seriously, from the way the Lunar New Year is such a celebrated event in Singapore, I wonder if other races will actually be 'jealous' of it =x
