.
This is it.
These were the words the great, late, Michael Jackson chose for his comeback concert series.
It was primed to be the greatest comeback shows of all time by any performing artist.
It was meant to be a series full of the greatest grandeur, the peak of live production.
The long hours of rehearsals, the tireless practices, all of it just to come down to one day.
This was the vision that he and and his crew had.
That was it.
And in just slightly over 15 hours, I'm entering the realm, the realm that Jackson, unfortunately, never made it to.
The performance.
Chingay 2012 for SSA started out as a series of simple basic trainings at the PA HQ in Lavender, just next to the Jalan Besar Stadium. It was two days a week, once on a weekday, and once on a Saturday. Everything was pretty simple at first, but as the steps were added and added, things more complex and difficult to understand. Well, at least for me.
Thinking back to then and now, the steps are so different. It's almost as if it were a different show altogether.
How four and a half months have gone by.
From our very first training till now, we never expected to get to this day so quickly.
Im going to miss the trainings, getting wet, the craziness, the props, the costume.
Im going to miss heading to f1 pit every Tuesday and Saturday.
Im going to miss everything about this Parade of Love and Care.
Of all the big events I've participated in over the last five years, this has been the most fun, most tiring, and arguably, the one that will be stuck in the neurons within my mind for the clearest and longest time.
I love you, B9, and we are gonna rock the pits down with the rest of Chingay 2012.
HWAITING!! TONIGHT! :DDD
