The crowd at Marina Bay Sands was really crazy as you have the STGCC crowd, Pokemon players, churchgoer and Ultra Singapore participants who were chilling before going for the event.
It was very hot and sunny weather with clear blue skies.
Quite a good crowd of participants for the HFWSG.
The first group photo was at the Merlion Park, then we walked until the Raffles landing site, brief stops at the Central Fire station and Peranakan Museum.
Some photo taking at the main stop at the National Museum of Singapore before the long walk to ION Orchard.
The HFWSG ended at around 1900 hours.
After the walk, oganiser of the HFWSG Noriaki Tsuchiya said that for the 16th Harajuku Fashion Walk Singapore in October, HFWSG will also participate in the SJ50 Matsuri in Singapore organised by the Japan Embassy.
A total of 25 HFWSG participants will be able to showcase their fashion on stage at the SJ50 Matsuri in Singapore.
Cheers.

The first National Day Parade at the Singapore Sports Hub.

Currently, there is a backlash with the 2016 NUS Freshmen Orientation until it made it’s way into the international media.
However, there is still a strong support for the NUS Flag and Rag Day.
This is the first time for me to come down for the NUS Flag and Rag Day as I am still putting the Sony RX10 Mark 3 bridge camera through it’s paces.
I was quite surprised to see that the Rag Day was a well polished dancing and choreography event.
It started to get very hot at around 1100 hours and I had to redeploy to a shaded area that was not good for photography.
Really pity the crowd and performers as the heat was very unbearable at midday as there were no shades around the stage area.
Just imagine how difficult it was for the performers to perform during midday in heavy garments and still dancing.
The performances only stopped at around 1330 hours and I was feeling the effect of the heat and decided to go back home and not wait for the award ceremony.
On a side note, this is the first time for me to see the chillies and garlic charm to ward off the rain.
Cheers.

I have been waiting for the High Speed Rail (HSR) project from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for many years and today the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is finally signed by both Prime Ministers, Singapore PM Lee Hsien Long and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Hopefully, we will get to see the exact location of the future Jurong East Integrated Transportation Hub soon from LTA.
I am also looking forward to see the model of the HSR train station at Jurong East and Kuala Lumpur.
I will try to document the construction from the beginning until the end on the Singapore side, a 35 km per year project.
However, I am not sure whether WordPress, Flickr or even myself will be around in 2026.
