This year, six of us from our old NYJC pugilistic gang joined Xinyang in KL for their fire dragon performance. It had been so long since we gathered for the sake of the culture we used to be so passionate on.
We booked a coach to shutter thirteen of us to Malaysia and smoothly arrived the event site on Friday afternoon, in-time for the dotting ceremony of the dragon. After the dotting, we helped out in the preparation and then rested for a couple of hours before the parade started. MPs of the state were also invited as guest of honors and the parade were blessed with other religious and culture groups participating. At 7pm, the parade finally kick-off and with the fire dragon as the main attraction, we paraded for about 3km, an unseen occasion in Singapore nowadays. The atmosphere was electrifying as we covered many tourist areas, drawing good amount of curiosity. Although exhausted when we finally ended at about 11pm, it was a fun and priceless experience.
After the fire dragon parade, we were also able to spend some time to bond and tour around KL to rest and relax. A well deserved break for everyone.
