Last last weekend continued...

Okies, let's see. I stopped rather abruptly my last entry. Had to do work lah.

Anyway, Robin and I went over to Club Street after dinner and found the snow-boarding thing. A lot of ice was already laid out and there were lotsa of people. The prime viewing area outside IndoChine was reserved for the media and other VIPS. The lion dance was setting up their stunt platform and making sure it's dry enough to perform on. Rain had stopped. We walked up and down looking for a good vantage point. There were surprisingly a lot of small kids waiting excitedly.

But wat do you know? Rain came falling down again. *laugh*

Everybody came into the shelter of the shophouses and I took out my umbrella. Some ang moh kids insisted on standing in the rain and chope-ing their prime viewpoint. I lent them my umbrella. Dunno where their parents are...

Rain continued to get heavier and some people left. We were thinking of leaving, but the rain was just too heavy. Show was put on hold, everybody hoping that the rain will stop.

Meanwhile, the rain continued to fall and the ice on display continued to melt. Guess that's why nobody wanna try an outdoor snow-related event in the Tropics... Ambitious organizers.

Anyway, in a nutshell, the rain DID stop after a long while and we got to see some 'snowboarding' stunts. Of course not as exciting as the real thing, but hey, the notion of a snowboarding event in Singapore is quite cool.
