We expected a quiet and simple dinner at Elaine's place yesterday. It turned out quite differently. Neighbours got invited and unexpected friends popped up. It was Mrs. Gwee's birthday and for the fun of it, Elaine bought 2 small pieces of cake to be cut up into 16 little cubes for each of us! We had a good dinner and stayed on to chit-chat after the neighbours left. Elaine made the suggestion of catching the Chingay floats in Ang Mo Kio.
A check through the internet provided the details. The Chingay floats would made their way through Teck Ghee, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10, block 409 to Street 51 and 52. Thereafter it will go on towards Serangoon North through AMK Ave 3. There are two places where we can see the floats; Teck Ghee block 409 and the Chong Boon Park across the underpass. Elaine arrived with her sisters and brothers-in-law and we hurried over to the 409 market reaching there before 7.50pm. We needn't have worried. There was a variety show going on and goody bags were being distributed. It was a long wait before the floats came coursing down the road. We sat by the road and had a good view of all the floats. After the last float went by, we ran the way back home an cut to the furthest end of Chong Boon park just in time to catch a bird's eye view of the parade passing by again. We were elated to have catch the floats twice.
