Yaho! It’s time for some Tampines GRC samba!

The Tampines GRC’s umbrella dance never fails to brighten up my night. This contingent is huge! You should see them in their full costume – white and gold. Magnificent. But I shall not spoil the surprise for you – watch them on the actual day!

There’s this particular lady I’ve noticed who’s super enthusiastic about the umbrella dance. Every time she dances past me, she’s always mouthing “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8″, and her expression is always one full of smiles and passion for the festival. Watching her trying hard to follow the steps just makes me feel like grabbing an umbrella and joining in myself.

And the dance leader of this contingent is ever so patient (bystander’s point of view). He’s always helping them with the counts and actions, making sure they have someone to follow lest the participants get lost or something. awesome.

Everytime I interview people regarding Chingay they tell me that it’s “Fun!”, and really, by watching Tampines GRC throughout this Samba party journey, I can see that “FUN” comes from their hearts as everybody swings to the couple dance. (:

Rock on, Tampines GRC!!!!
