Chinese New Year Decorations at Bugis Junction

Bugis Junction cleverly recycled their christmas decoration (see my old christmas post) to chinese new year decorations. The music box's huge doll now dorns festive flowers and holding an upside down "FU".

Fu means good luck and by placing it upside down will cause the good fortune to literally pour out on the home, office or building in which it is placed.

North point South Atrium Opening - Lion Dance

Happens to be at opening of Northpoint South Atrium opening, fascinated by the Lion Dance.

As with many new opening of malls, it is always crowded with shoppers. One of the favourite to take photos with must be the 3 Gods Mascots. They are the Sanxing (三星 "Three Stars"), who are Fu, Lu, and Shou or Cai, Zi and Shou (財子壽), are the gods of the three stars and the three qualities of Prosperity (Fu), Status (Lu), and Longevity (Shou).

Singaporean loves malaysian food, our nearest neighbour up north. Ate the Penang Char Kway Teow, tasted good with the pork lard (yes unhealthy but dont eat very often so can cheat a bit hahaha), found the price a bit high.

Penang Chendol

Spotted this restaurant near the malaysian food court, a chinese hotpot with conveyor belt. The little plate of ingredients moves around, so just pick the plate of ingredients that you like. Each has personal hot pot right infront. Would like to try one day.
