CNY Performance
Yo! I just got back home. *sigh* what a long day! Chinese New Year performance, running back to Guildford to make it for acting class, then off to Che Che's house for dinner! Here be pictures and a small report about what happened at the festival today ^_^
This is the first time the Chinese Association of Woking (CAW) had done such a show/festival. In the morning there were a bunch of culture and craft stalls set up around the market walkway, and then at about 12:30pm the opening procession started. And in true Chinese fashion... it was NOISY *smirk* The most amusing thing though about the procession, was when the little kids with their shakers went past and I evesdropped on a conversation going on behind me.
Girl A: "Aww look at all the Chinese kids they're so cute."
Girl B: "I want a little Chinese kid."
Saffy: "... o.O''"
My song was pretty early on, as in no.5 out of 18 acts hahaha... And I think it went pretty well! *wink* Considering this is the first time I'd sung in Manderin in public. Um... and yeah... I will admit, I forgot some of the words at one (or two) points :P But I don't think anyone noticed that I started to make a few lines up, and it would all sound like gibberish to the general non-Manderin speaking public anyway! Someone managed to get two clips of it for me. The first is only about 20 seconds long, and the 2nd is most of the 2nd half of the song.

There was a proper video of the whole thing that I'm going to try and get a hold of, so that I can have a copy of the whole song live^^ But in the meantime, I really feel like doing a home recording of this as well. Hahaha I forgot how much I really do love this song, and I've quite enjoyed singing it bilingual as well!^^
In between running around for my mum, I managed to catch some of the other performances. But my favourite has to be the finale stick dance. Because, well... it's just cool XD I managed to make a really tiny recording of part of the opening. And since all my attempts to embed it in LJ haven't worked, here's a download link instead.

It was done and a digicam so it's really bad quality. But yeah this is another thing I wanna definately rip outta the actual video once I can get a hold of it! Anyway that's it really! hahaha... I didn't get a chance to take too many photos either since I was running up and down, but I know my mum's going to be collecting them from different people soon enough.
Ok now Saffy needs sleep! oyasumi ^_^
