Yaho! Here’s more from Chingay 2010’s behind-the-scenes! I present to you… The Eurasian Association! This is their first Samba Party rehearsal

I’d like to describe them in one word: Excellent. In every aspect. I guess that’s one of the traits the E in “Eurasian” stands for.

Every group has its strengths, and I reckon one of the strengths in the Eurasian Association Contingent has definitely got to be their unity because of their uniqueness. This contingent actually comprises the members of the Eurasian Association and student participants from St Theresa’s Convent and St Joseph’s Institute. It was the first two Samba Party rehearsals and all the participants were still getting a hang of the whole Samba business, the EA participants were still putting in their best, doing what they could. The student participants were doing the actions enthusiastically, including the SJI boys.

The dance leader Sarah Conceicao just exudes this cool aura that screams, “come everyone, follow me, I know what to do.” Watch her work it yo!

If I could summarize the Chingay experience in a line, I’d quote Chingay Dance coordinator of the Eurasian Association Ms Lanette Conceicao’s sincere words [yes, you might've noticed a commonality between her and Sarah, Lanette's Sarah's mum!] : “Very tiring but fun, as always!” I interviewed her as she was dancing the round around the field, and she kindly accepted my interview with a smile that beamed pure enjoyment. Haha my handheld mic was blocking her way as I was desperately wracking my brains thinking of something slightly more intelligent to ask, and I figured that THE question wasn’t coming, so I’d better get my mic out of the way… And rest assured I did.

Watch out for more to come on the Chingay 2010 behind-the-scenes!
