Haahaaahaa....give him a break lah. :lol: He forget to get the 501st Patch if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I think I know who it was but will leave to others to guess. :wink:

Hey all! I really want to show my appreciation to everyone, troopers and minders alike! We couldn't have done it without you! :)

Sure, there may have been some cock-up with the mass orgy of Ministers, body-guards and press blocking our march in route and the flower-girls and vehicles that blocked us...and of course the fact that we were not seen on tv for our march in....BUT hey, we got into Chingay, we did what we came to do and we had a SUPER time doing it! We took care of our own, got to spend time together and even make more friends and I'm glad for the whole experience. There'll be more to come, guys! In the meantime, pls give yrself a pat on the back...you've all done extremely well! Was just looking at the footage that Flo caught on camera...I'll be editing and as usual will upload the movie for all to see. I'm really proud of everyone! :D

Heehee....I also should try editing and posting some of the photos taken by JediJean at the Preview. :wink: Really been slacking a LOT in my online uploading of photos.

Ya, tonight is a Night to be remembered and all won't had happened if we didn't have the support and cooperation from everyone. :D Like the Malay saying that roughly translate to "Throw away the Milky and Take the Clear/Clean", just remember the night for the good parts (and leave the Whinning and Complaining to your private Blog/Diary :P ).


Btw, here's more of us mentioned online:

http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v3/bm ... ?id=313957
"SINGAPURA, 14 Feb (Bernama) -- Perasmian festival tahunan Chingay Singapura Sabtu ini yang disifatkan penganjurnya, People's Association (PA), sebagai "Perarakan Kereta Berhias Paling Meriah di Asia" dijadual bermula dengan babak bantuan kawalan makhluk asing yang didatangkan khas dari angkasa lepas.

Beberapa platun "storm troopers", askar makhluk asing dari siri filem Star Wars akan "ditugaskan" mengawal Presiden Singapura S.R. Nathan yang akan merasmikan festival itu....."

Which roughly translate to
"SINGAPORE 14 Feb - The Official Opening (or maybe it's Preview) of the annual Chingay Celebration this Saturday is said to be by its organizer, People's Association (PA), as "The Most Joyous Parade of Floats in Asia" will begin with the segment of Aliens :shock: acting as security which had been brought specially from outer space.

A couple of "storm troopers" platoon, alien soldiers from the Star Wars Saga, will be tasked to protect the President of Singapore S.R. Nathan who will officialite the festival..."

We're being mentioned ina Taipei Newspaper?

Thanks to all troopers and minders once again.

Trooping for the govt agencies definitely we will have the opportunity if I do open up our door to, but we need to acertain which is good to troop on and which is not for a worthy cause. . .

Someone from the govt agencies already contacted me before the parade start and even given me the name card telling me I MUST call her. . . :)

Till then we will troop again on St Pats.

In the meantime, brush up, tighten up or whatever in your new armour especially for the new trooper. . .and we will rock again soon.

Thanks and see you all soon. :)

Well, thanks for the info, sorry didnt know that. I thought when you guys in costume must always be in character, my mistake. I know its difficult when u wear them and sweating it under the costume.

Ya true indeed with this exposure people will be watching us and there could be more opporunities to showcase ourselves, for the love of SW or for the compassion to the community, or to get dates.... Whichever reason you choose and however polarising, I saw for the first time we actually patched ourselves as one imperial evil, regardless of dinner, tv coverage and toilet breaks. I saw splendid display of support, leadership and expertise to grow us dependable whilst continuous fouling-up plans by the event people we learn to be agile and decisive.

Joining the Chingay is fun. Meeting the Garrison in real is significant!
Thank YOU for making it happen for me.
