The annual Christmas Procession went on smoothly last night even though there was an intermittent drizzle throughout the event. I believe the Lord was looking after us as the sky was very dark since 3pm and everyone was expecting a heavy downpour.
This time around I studied the procession route and decided to station myself at the Sarawak House overhead bridge so I can have a better aerial view and assuming less people will congregate here.
The theme for this year is "Joy to the World"
The Girl's Brigade Bands
SMK Tung Hua School Band
Scouts dressed in Scottish attire and musical instruments
Various churches members who joined the procession. Everyone was happy and brave through the unpredictable weather.
Children on bicycles
Strangely, a clown made an appearance in the procession
The main attraction of the procession got to be the floats from the town's churches. Somehow the floats' qualities seem to drop over the years.
Fu Yuan Church float. Luckily the designer of this float took into consideration the height of the overhead bridge or else it will be a disaster as the float appears to be a bit taller. Somehow there was a hinge to lower the "tower" and hence avoid the collision.
