Singapore National Day 2020 - Celebrating Singapore's 55th Birthday in the Heartlands, Singapore

Yesterday was the 55th Birthday of Singapore. Due to Covid 19, the event was scaled down and many events were spread in the Heartlands instead of one location for social distancing purposes.

Though the number of covid cases in Singapore is still high but the spread of the virus is only few in the local community. Most cases are in the dormitories of migrant workers. Finally, they have finished all the testing for the workers and the number of cases will go down. Hopefully no cluster again.

 I hope everything will go back to normal so people can lead normal lives, hope the economy will recover and a lot of people will not lose jobs, etc. 

Meanwhile we are still wearing masks indoors or outdoors except in our own homes and remember to sanitise our hands and hope everybody  be healthy.

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.

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.

Chinatown Chinese New Year Celebrations 2014 Street Light-Up Ceremony Part 1

Last weekend, I was at Chinatown to view the Street Light Up Official Opening for Chinese New Year 2014.

Chinatown was jam packed with so many people and I could not view the stage cause most gathered around the stage area to watch the performance.

It was better to be further from the stage where the crowd is thinner.

This year the decorations were very beautiful as compared to previous years. The many mascost of the horses were a welcoming sight to welcome the Year of the horse.

I took several photos and decided to head for dinner instead of waiting for the ceremony to start.

After dinner, I went back in time to witness the switching on of the street lights. It was so beautiful indeed.

Short video of the switching on of the lights - the lights come out somewhere in the middle of the video.

After watching the switching on of the steets lights, am not sure when the fireworks would start, so we went shopping at the Bazaar and around 9 pm we made our way back to the main road to try to catch the fireworks. We will so lucky that in less than a minute the firecrackers started as we were there, did not waste any time waiting lol. Following the firecrackers, the fireworks started so sudden and I have no time to adjust my camera so it explained the poor video of the fireworks. The auto focus was confusing with the motion of the fireworks as the fireworks were fired from the pedestrian bridge just above us. It seem so close to us as if the fireworks would fall on us, a beautiful sight and the mood of Chinese New Year was there. So sorry for the blur video.

Chinese New Year 2011 - Chinatown Light Up - Fireworks

To end the night event, there's fireworks and firecrackers.

Hubby and me wanted to cross the road to watch the firecrackers but was too late when we heard the firecrackers from where we were but the fireworks make up for our disapointment with the firecrackers.

Just as I thought the fireworks had ended, there's another display of fireworks. So much to see and there's so much excitement for the chinatown light up for chinese new year 2011. The light up will last till mid February 2011. Chinese will be from 3rd February 2011 to 17th February 2011 but the official public holiday will only be on 3rd and 4th February.

I am almost done with spring cleaning in my home and next week, I need to stock up food in the fridge cause majority of markets and shops will be closed during the two public holidays.

This year, I will have guests in my house so I need to cook some yummy food

Hope you enjoy the videos that I managed to load onto You Tube. It took me just about ten minutes to load onto You Tube cause it seems like it took forever to load into blogger for a two minute video...lol
