I really enjoyed the Chingay performance. I also learnt a lot through
that experience.
I enjoyed the ballet performance most. One of the performers is my
friend! The performers are mostly young children. They are just too
adorable. Another performance that I really enjoyed was the line dance.
My aunt was one of the performers. Most of the performers were of a
older generation. I learnt that regardless of what age we are of, as long
as we are willing to fork out our precious time to perform for everyone,
we can do it. I also realised that the performers that performed were of
different races. The Chingay really brought out racial harmony as
Singaporean of all races come together to bring up a performance. I
really learnt a lot from the Chingay performance. I am going to
volunteer as a volunteer for the Chingay next year,

This trip made me memories.This was my first time going to
chingay and it was a really fun and exciting experience.Initially,I
thought chingay was an extremely traditional performance but it
turned out to be a juxtaposition of old and new.Chingay really
helped me to appreciate our diversity and harmony as it
showcased the cultures of different races in our homeland.The
idea that we could live in harmony today despite our huge
culture clash really struck me.It really is a privilege now that I
think about it to be exposed to so many different cultures and
live alongside them while in perfect harmony.

I enjoyed the performance a lot. The performance depicted how
Singapore is like now, for example the ballet performance, showing that
community clubs in singapore are cultivating the young to appreciate
arts. Also, this has given young children to have the chance to perform
in public which is a very good thing. However, I think that since
Chingay is a form of celebration for the chinese new year, there should
be more performance that relates to the new year. The spirit brought
out indirectly through this celebration was also unexpectedly amazing.
School and people from different areas of Singapore who don't associate
together often seemed to have merged their hearts together. Afterall,
what is a celebration without people?

The chingay parade 2014 was extremely meaningful. Seeing the
elaborate floats and the huge flags, the parade won't be forgotten for a
long long time. Especially how they are the hard work of hundreds and
thousands of my follow Singaporeans. I am again amazed by the cultural
richness and racial integration seen from the wide variety of ethic
performances. Which are only possible with Singapore's cultural
diversity. This being the first time i have watch the Chingay
performance live, despite it being an annual event, I am sincerely glad
that the chingay parade NE show is part of our NE curriculum. The aim
of letting us watch it is for us to immerse in the cultural performances
put up. In my opinion, this year's parade has definitely achieved its aim.
The efforts of the various communities and school based groups have
not been wasted but put to good use. I look forward to similar
opportunities and the other events included in the NE curriculum.

It’s the first time I’ve watched the Chingay parade and I felt
that Chingay is a very meaningful event and had taught me
a lot about racial harmony. I find the traditional
performances very interesting, and at the same time, I
learnt to appreciate the harmony of different races in
Singapore. It has left me a lot of memories and I wish to
have the chance to go to the Chingay parade again.
