Singapore National Day Parade Rehearsal Photo-Experience 1

Yesterday was my first time taking photos at Singapore's National Day Parade Rehearsal. It was a run-through  and a Test-Time of the Parade. As I was following my superior around, I was not able to take too many photos around, but mostly were taken during the Parade. Please take a look, and feel free to give comments or feedback on the pictures taken. Thank you very much =D

BGirl Battle Night @ Natasha Studio Central

On this very night, Natasha Studio, at Central Clarke Quay, organized a Battle opportunity, at their own studio, for BGirls, or Girls who does Break-Dancing, to show what they have been training and have a feel of how Break Dance Battles are like. As this is a BGirl Battle Night and there was an overwhelming response by the audience, only Girls were allowed to enter the studio to watch the Battle, while the Guys had to watch Battle from outside. Only a few pictures of the Battle was taken as my camera was used to video down the Battles.

Here are some of the photos taken at the event:
