Chinese New Year Celebration event

I was told that SEA Park had never seen a Chinese New Year celebration on such a big scale and magnitude since its formation in the 1960s.

So I was not really surprised when more than 2,000 people, young, old and the handicap jam-packed the open air car park to witness the historical event and of course to enjoy the non-stop fun and entertainment. Organized by the SEA Park Residents Association, it was held on Sunday 23.2.2008 from 6.00 pm to 11.00 pm.

There were acrobatic Lion Dance performance by World Champion Troupe from Muar and acrobatic Dragon Dance performance.

Three Gods of Prosperity made their appearance to give ang-pows packets to everyone.

Other spectacular highlights performed on stage were :-

Face-Changing Performance by an artiste from China
Black Cat Dance Performance
Children Performance
Harmonica Performance
F&N Teh-Tarik Demo by National Champion
Hip-Hop Dance
Break Dance
Line Dance
Aerobic Dance

Finally, the spectacular fireworks display which everyone was waiting for exploded at 10.30 pm. Eight minutes later after the explosion died down, the Black Cat performers continued their energetic dances on stage until 11.00 pm when everyone called it a day!

I can see the smiles, happiness and satisfactions on everyone’s face that they had a wonderful evening well spent.
