[h=1]13-11-23: PECC Deepavali Night 2013[/h]Updated <abbr title="Tuesday, December 17, 2013 at 3:27pm" data-utime="1387265252" class="timestamp">4 hours ago</abbr>
Light painting. It was a simple name given to an activity that we thought appropriate for celebrating the Festival of Lights kampung-style in Punggol East.
JB, one of our volunteers, adapted the concept from the Singapore Night Festival for the Deepavali Night event. We set up the easel with a camera and TV at the open field directly facing the stage. This way the dance performances by Rivervale Primary School, MINDS, and Temple of Fine Arts and the expressions of the residents-turned-light-art<wbr>ists would speak to each other. We armed residents with coloured torches and JB took shots of light artists drawing their favourite shapes on the canvas of Punggol East at night. A smiling audience watched, helping themselves to henna painting, kachang puteh, sarsi-flavoured drink, and sweets and chocolates (sponsored by ChocolateXcellence) from the kampung stalls. Spot the light painting done by the Punggol East Constituency Committee (PECC) volunteers!
We would like to thank our sponsors and volunteers for putting up a fantastic event.
