Chingay Parade 2008

This happened during the Chinese New Year period. But as I've only just gone back online, I'm trying doing a bit of a catch up.
Before anyone post any comments, the Chingay Parade is the yearly Chinese New Year street procession with huge floats and different performances. A bit like the Notting Hill Carnival. Unlike someone at work (obviously new to S'pore) who said 'Oh, is it that the GAY parade?' Hmm...
I bought tickets for the preview show which is essentially the day before, cheaper, but exactly the same. I was glad I had ticked this box for things to do in S'pore. The performances were pretty good.
Can't remember what this was but it's bright!
Birthday cake and great big candle?

Traditional Chinese Wedding Carriage (for the bride only!!)


These guys were near enough butt naked!! We were laughing loads at the obscenity of it all. My sis got pulled up by the radio DJ who was who was asking if the ladies enjoyed that.
