Do ThE LiOn DaNcE

Rousing performance

Was at Taka over the weekend and the BF and me chanced upon the magnificant performance of the Lion Dance Championships 2007 held outside Ngee Ann City.

This performance will probably be telecated over your tellys during CNY 2008.

It was so packed. Just look at the crowd!

I had diffculty taking the pics as I am vertically challenged -_-III. Too many heads covering my view hence the BF who was much taller took over the lens. Do pardon the blurry night shots. Camera not very good at taking twilight shots.


The start of the Championships. The first Lion.
















Whoa! Standing up talll and mighty to take on the poles.
















Ooooh! Pole balancing.




















The drums were so LOOOOOOOOUD!















Lotsa lil kiddos hitched a ride on their daddys' shoulders for a clear view of the performance. Bet the air's much freshers up there too. Can't perform the same stunt on my BF's shoulders, he will collapse under my weight :P
