My place Bukit Purmei has a tradition of hosting getais every so often, and the festivities go on through the night, but the organizers abide by HDB regulation and cease all rock performances (as I like to call them) by 11 pm.
But yesterday afternoon was a different creature altogether. I’m not sure what the occasion was, but it was quite huge. The small Bukit Purmei road was congested in no time, with 3 buses, 6 cars and vans, and a whole lot of youths in colourful costumes carrying lion-heads and dragons and flags and everything and making a lot of sounds (dom chang-chang). It was quite a sight, but the procession caused quite a bit of a jam and commotion at the area. But it was very interesting to see a major colourful procession in tiny Purmei.
