Chingay in JB, is on the 21st of the Lunar New Year, according to the Lunar Calendar. Its like the chingay in S’pore, except that its more religion-based; and in chinese its called ‘you shen’. It means that we bring the Gods around town for a ‘tour’, to bless the whole JB town!

Its a family thing, for my family and I! Every year we’d go and join Chingay and walk the whole town :))). (I missed Chingay last year due to my school’s annual dinner and dance!)

Before you curse and swear at my ugly and blurry photos, I declare first. My camera is lousy and/or I’m a lousy camera person. >: 90% (I bet) of my photos are all blur!!!! :< :<

And I detest all the super heavy duty spot lights!!! They prevent me from taking photos!

 

Home! Before setting off. ;)

 

The first ‘rabbit’ I saw! HEHEE. If you forgot, its the Rabbit year! :D

I know this is terribly blur.. But you know what I’m trying to show right! Interesting..

 

This too.

Lol, pirated Bugs bunny. Pink colour one.

Ba xian guo hai~

Blurrrrrrrr.

Only stationary things are clear. And actually nothing that I took in the photos are stationary! Even if they’re individually, the lorries carrying them move!! =.=

~~

yay niceeeeeeeee!

hmmm.

All sorts of decorations on the floats!

 

Cute qi lins! Its another type of ‘lion’ dance.

 

Because of the rabbit year, they also have rabbit girls dancing lol!

A very nice ribbon made dragon! Loook closely! Those materials used to wrap hampers..

Another one with the dragon head towards me but urgh, partially blocked.

This is a humongous(!!) flag. I guess you can imagine how big it is? Look at the humans below.

Lanterns!

Just a rabbit statue.

Quard-shaw? (Derived from Trishaw)

‘Lions’..

3 lions

The side of one of the float! I think alot of $$ and effort are spent doing up such enormous stuffs..

this is how some of my photos turn out. fail!

cute!

Balloon themed!

Balloon dragon!! Cool right? :D I think its the first year they did this. Each and every year different associations innovate and create ‘new’ interesting concepts! ;) I’m impressed every year!

Da tou wa wa!

One of the 5 gods! :))

Another dragon! They were resting before the whole procession started.

This is my favourite dragon!!!! Its very fluffffy! :D

See the fluffy-ness!! <3 Reminds me of despicable me. lol!

One more!!

Okay last one. I took many shots of this (Coz I love it!) but none of the shots are nice. =/

Lionsss~

Performing stunts!

A lil boy hitting on the drum! ^^
