Garden By The Bay Singapore - Mid Autumn Festival 2018

Was at Garden By The Bay yesterday night to view the Mid Autumn Festival 2018 lanterns. Amazed by the beautiful huge lanterns but thought that this year the exhibits of lanterns were not many. The display will be on till 24th September 2018. Read more from official website.

Bought a pendant with a grain of rice. The rice was skillfully carved with my name. The pendant seems to manify the rice grain so that the name can be read easily. The carving was done on the spot in a matter of less than a minute.

Skywatch Friday - Tightrope walkers at River Hong Bao 2015

The highlight at the Singapore River Hong Bao 2015 must be the Tightrope Walkers from China.

For the first six days of the carnival, two members of the Acrobatic Troupe of Xinjiang China, Adili Wuxor and Abulaiti-Maijun, will perform stunts on a 60m-long tightrope, at least 20m off the ground. They hold several world records for tightrope-related stunts. - See more from Straitstimes.

Sorry if the video is shaky cause too crowded and people have been bumping into me.

Chinese New Year 2015 - Singapore River Hong Bao 2015 -Twelve Chinese Zodiac

One of the favourite lanterns at the River Hong Bao Carnival must be the twelve Chinese Zodiac.

This is my favourite too.

Chinese New Year 2015 - River Hong Bao at Marina

Without fail, every year, we sure to visit the River Hong Bao at Marina Bay FLoating Platform.

My favourite, of course must be the huge God of Fortune.

This year being Singapore 50th Anniversary, the theme is relive the past. There's a giant mural wall that illustrates Singapore skyline.

There's two huge peacocks decorating the seating areana. Really beautiful.

A familar person at one corner of the mural, that was Sir Stamford Raffles, Singapore's founder.

And of course the very popular and familar Merlion and the banner for SG 50 (Singapore jubilee year).

Difficult to take nice photos without so many heads blocking the lanterns, hahaha. It sure was crowded.
