Last Saturday, I went to join in the fun to watch the Chinese New Year Street Light Up at Chinatown to user in the year of the Rooster. Time passes fast, Chinese New Year will be on 28th January 2017 and last for 15 days. There will be lots of programmes to watch in Chinatown during this period.

This year the Chinese New Year decoration of a big rooster looked so pretty especially at night.

There were so many people in Chinatown that night, I could hardly go near the stage to watch the performances. Best was the lighting of the firecrackers followed by fireworks. Watch the video below for the firecrackers and fireworks towards the end of the video.

Even South Bridge Road was beautifully decorated.

Chinese New Year 2016 - Chinatown Street Light Up - Nightly Stage Show (Getai)

Chinese New Year is just in few weeks times. Of course Chinatown is filled with lots of activities. Besides vendors selling goods related to Chinese New Year, there's nightly stage show (Getai) at Kreta Ayer Square right up to Chinese New Year's Eve.

I enjoyed the songs by the getai singers but sorry to say I dont know the names of most of the singers cause I am not a regular Getai audience. The only one I am familar must the Chen Jian Bin cause he is very popular both on Television and Getai performances.

Chinese New Year 2016 - Chinatown Street Light Up , Fire Crackers and Fireworks

Last Night was at Chinatown to watch the official ceremony for the Chinatown Street Light Up. The official light up and opening ceremony will be followed by 52 continuous days of street light up along the streets of Chinatown. The light-up will feature rows of peach trees lining up the street of Chinatown and decorated with lovely monkeys hanging around.

It was super crowded last night but managed to video the highlights of the ceremony.

Video of the street lighting up at 8pm and browsing through the streets of Chinatown and followed by firecrackers and fireworks at 9 pm. Did not watch the performance cause it was so crowded that it was mission impossible to squeeze nearer to the stage.

Times passes fast, it's going to be Mid Autumn Festival soon. It falls on 15th day of the 8th lunar month (i.e. 27th September 2015). Streets of Chinatown in Singapore were decorated with beautiful lanterns.

I know my grandnephew will like this PSY lantern. He loves to dance to the music of Gangnam Style.

Spotted this beautiful mid autumn festival decoration at one of the supermarket.

Chinese New Year 2015 Getai in Chinatown Singapore

During this Chinese New Year, almost every weekend, there were be a getai(Stage performance) in Kreta Ayer Square in Chinatown, Singapore.

Videos of the Getai/Performance, very entertaining. The above performance in mandarin. The above performance in Hokkien. The above performance in cantonese by a well known former TV actress. The below two videos taken by my hubby, hahaha his first time using his iphone to video, he should take a front view of the singer. What a waste, the singer was wearing very glamourous costume.

The above performance was a very famous cantonese opera song.

Another famous song by the singer. For photos on other parts of the world, please visit Our World Tuesday Meme. Thanks to the team of Our World for giving us the opportunity to share my world with the rest of the world.

Chinatown Singapore Street Light Up on 31st January 2015 (Saturday)

Time passes real fast, Chinese New Year is approaching real soon. Last Saturday, there's a ceremony for the street light up at Chinatown Singapore.

It was so crowded that I cant watch the performance but managed to catch the fireworks at the finale of the ceremony.

There will be another round of fireworks and firecrackers along with performance on the eve of Chinese New Year but I wont be there cause it will be super crowded.

This year it will be the year of the Ram/Goat. The display of the goats were placed too low unlike last year where the horses were hung up real high. Very bad position, too low for photographers.

Video of fireworks at the finale of the ceremony.
