Given the "what the heck?!" circumstances, we did an outstanding job :)

At the end of the day, what's best is meeting all the SW fans again and trooping together.

*BREEEEEEP....BREEP!*

Several shots of us by Clubsnap member cryder... which brought up one interesting response from another Clubsnap member ....grrrrr! :P
I love all your star wars shots. The red guards are best... but there probably isn't a need for a SNOWtrooper to be in Singapore heh.

We have to thank Ivan for using his connections to get us into Chingay in such a short time and the logistics.

To Tim, Keith and Don go the thanks for coming up with the formation and coordinating right through to the parade day itself.

To Daniel and Rid, for enduring the stress of commanding the contingent. And Daniel, the flash sequence was really good to help us better visualize the flow.

To our wonderful team of Minders - Flo, Lillian, Marcus, Jean, Jian Ping and Hak Beng for their roll-up the sleeves and get it done attitude. Also, I'm sure the many soon-to-come photos and videos will be fantastic as well.

To Reno for pulling the Rabbit out of the hat with extra help to fill-in for those who had to drop out at the last minute.

To all the folks that made up the contingent, you've survived Chingay 2008! You brought your characters to life and made the crowds remember that Star Wars is here to stay and there's more to come in 2008.

For all the people who have worked and contributed to the overall success of our participation in the parade, my Thanks go out to you!

It has been my pleasure and honor to troop with you all!

Dear guys,

I have a great time tonight. Leading the troopers for the left side was quite stressing too. Forgot almost everything just a second before the parade starts. And not to mention those "flower girls" too. Confusing and blocking everyone with their huge flowers petals. hahaha...But it was good fun. :lol:

Thanks for the pics. I am still looking at them. Tomorrow i have another long day of being a trooper again.

Till then guys...Thanks again.

Check your six.

Andrew
