This year was the first time I ever visited pink dot!! And it's really touching to see so many people care about having a more inclusive Singaporean society.. Actually I didn't plan to go but Natalie(One of my close friends) asked me if I wanted to go with her and her (soon to be) uni friends.. So I went and we were lost for awhile at raffles place and we decided to just pick a random person wearing a pink shirt and followed him. Eventually we ended up there and It was so awkward for me because I kept introducing myself as 'Natalie's friend' because everyone else who were at that picnic mat was from Yale NUS.. And they were mostly international students. But then I found another girl who was also a friend of one of the Yale NUS student and connected on the fact we were both extras in the group . Haha. She's so funny I wished I got a picture with her.. Anyway we queued for cotton candy and it was so sweet we saw an older lady in the queue infront of us about 50 years old and started asking her if she was her alone and she said 'Yes, I came here to support you guys' . AWWW .. So sweet. It's so nice to actually see the older generation support such a cause...
Me and my pink cotton candy!
Anyway the girl i met there, lets call her XX. She told me she was there at the first pink dot event and the crowd was so small people could literally form a circle around the performers.. And she was shocked at how huge it is now. It's really heartening to see Singapore becoming a more accepting society..
Anyway here's a pic of the event
