Think I arrived as the Royals left, hence the line of policemen saluting the car as it went past. Yeah was a bit wet in the morning, but cleared up nicely after a lunch. Entrance to CG was impressive and the completion of the Commercial St, clubhouse, beach and marina, showed what CG can do within 6 mths of acquiring the site.; demonstarting how deep their pockets are. Spending millions to build these initial things that give them no return, and holding this carnival over a month.
Did you mange to get your free petrol vouchers, car wash, boat cruise, food etc. Ppl going nuts getting their freebies. I was given RM120 in Caltex petrol on a cash card
Anyways, enjoyed the atmosphere, got better, and better as the day went on. Concert on the beach, live bands, Ang Mo and Chinese show girls in the pool & Deck, palm trees swaying, jet ski's, sun setting,.. Show rooms were nice, they even show you one unit of WYSIWYG.
The CG SG side communicated the event badly, stating that it was cancelled. But it wasn't. The only thing not available was the Euro Fun Park. The TCS stars arrived around 6pm, not by car but by cruise boat!!. Wondered why so many ppl were on the jetty. Didn't even know what was happening until Pornsak passed me, followed by the rest minus Zoe Tay??. The locals were very happy to see them, was quite a funny sight to see them snapping away with their phones, ipads, cameras; seemed like they really appreciated them.
The evening drew to a close, with more live bands, bonfire on the beach, and 15 minute firework show (was pretty impressive!). Overall, was great to see so many ppl, young and old enjoying themselves. A good event for locals, as well as a sales drive.
