once again on behalf of Paul, we like to thank you everyone from trooping contingent, to wonderful minders and also family spouses and your children for supporting such a wonderful event...we will not be successful without your precious time availability and involvement

special thanks to Tim and your TCC managing team for lending out the space for dressing up and like i said, it never cross my dream i can suit up and strip in cafe..the feeling is wonderful haha.It also makes alot more convenient and comfortable to be dress and sit comfortably in a good environment.

Special thanks to SEJA team for showing a splendid and fast pace jedi-fighting scene and you folks just did one of the most amazing stunts in such confined space

Special thanks to 501st singapore troopers, is been a long time since we have full strength trooping ( almost 100%) and i know Paul and I can trust all of you when executing imperial orders. Great job and we are honor to troop with most of u. Especially Andrew he just became our instant hero of the day.... :wink

Special thanks to Reno( Darth Vader) and David(cameraman for event)and your team from movie mania for assisting in filming and i seen a portion of filming myself in 6:9 ratio in the camera and is professional and with perfection. Also to Don Tan for helping me to ferry the tees and items. Also Hakbeng and the rest of photographers at site for taking care of pictures taking...and took all of us in the best looking posture.

Special salute to all the young children of the troopers for showing support to their daddy like Adrian's Gal(clonetrooper), Reno's boy(clonetrooper),seowchow's son( Jedi padawan), Shawn's baby gal(carried by his wife), Paul's boy and gal (minder), my nephew(minder ) I personally think all of you are stronger than we adults cos one step for us in marching are probably 2 to 3 times your steps and with that weather you have choose to complete the whole trooping event either march with your trooper father or assisting them and that is just mind blowing. That shows you are brought up with strength and perseverance by your parents and definitely very discipline for such young age. The spouse also deserved the same kind of honor for showing such great support for your loved ones.

all in all i must said this is by far the hottest weather i ever troop but I am touch with the perseverance and strong support within friends/spouses and we hope to organize another meaningful and yet fun event for all of u in the near future

SEJA was proud and glad to be there to be part of the parade, and for performance. our first collaboration with sw.sg/501st troopers. Mike from my side has footage as well, and he has edited and thrown in the music that was supposed to be played just now. final product is currently rendering as we speak.

thanks to tim for the space, and his collegues who actually take time off to come back to help out in this event. you can't find such collegues anywhere man!

thanks to reno for his robes on loan, lol.

thanks for the logisticians involved with the Tshirts! i dunno, but the material feels weird. maybe it's just me, but i didn't really have time to inspect it, it was a wear and go kinda thing haha.

and thanks for the minders, esp jean, who tended to us quite often, and for loaning us a couple of FXs, not just for today's performance, but many other previous performances as well! muack!

now as for the performance, for those who didn't know, why there was no muic, or why the PA/Sound system was down, was coz some bugger spill guiness beer into th mixer/player/etc. that's why the MC was using a loudhailer, haha.

and the performance was less than perfect, but we tried to keep the screw ups covered up as much as possible... and donleow, if you thought that space was confined, you should have seen the stage at the Big Boyz Toyz event man! THAT was small! a miscalculation would have resulted me butterly flipping off the stage and into the audiance! LOL.

thanks for the troopers/vader/emperor/guards who helped us create a perimeter around us and help expand it, for the initial one was too small to perform in. this would be the epitome of all our sequences. never before did we have sequence that involved so many jedi/sith, and never before with this much stunts and rolling and the like. the base and foundation of the 1 vs 1 sequence at the start was done up by myself with input from Yazid, the person i was fighting, and killed. and the later 4 on 1 sequence was initially devised by azmi, and was actually for another performance that was cancelled, and heavily assisted by the rest of SEJA.

i'm proud of my boys, today we have reached a milestone. not only is this the first time that everyone put their hearts and minds together for a sequence, but this would be the first time, all 6 members of SEJA perform as well.

looking forward to performing at more of starwars(and non-sw) events in the future! our first step to becoming world-class stunt coordinators!

Thanks don for giving us this opportunity, and i'm glad that my last day in sg was for this performance and it turned out well..... AWESOME!!!!!!! Amazing that we had less than 12 days of practice!

And although Yazid and I died early, at least we managed to bring down 1 Stormtrooper
