Chinese New Year 2009 - Decorations in Chinatown for year of the OX

This year decorations for the Chinese New Year at Chinatown are full of oranges and oxes.



Now this is funny, a blow up mascot of the God Of Fortune. I wondered if the organizer was not blessed by God of Fortune to come up with a bigger budget for a better Mascot of the God of Fortune. I hope they have a bigger budget for next year.

This will be the stage for performance on the eve of Chinese New Year and all roads will be closed in here. They will be lighting of the firecrackers at midnight. I wont be here cause it will be very very crowded and I hated to be squeezed in the crowd. Anyway I think I will be too tired washing up after the reunion dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year. Reunion dinner is compulsory in almost every chinese family on Chinese New Year's eve.

Year of the Ox - these oxes are so cute, I decided to have them as my header.

More posts on Chinese New Year in the days that come. :)

Pink Saturday-Chinese New Year Decoration at Plaza Singapura

Today my contribution for pink saturday is the big ball of flowers with so many pink and red flowers. It was part of the chinese new year decoration. Chinese New Year starts on 26th January 2009 and lasted for 15 days.

If you think the decorations are familar, you are right, they were recycled from the christmas decoation. You can view them in my previous posting angels and angels flying.

The chinese characters meant "Ying Chun" or Welcome Spring.

For more pinky participants, please visit Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.

Changi Boardwalk Part 4

Continued from Part 3 of Changi Boardwalk.

Along the walk, we could see private clubs and they have their own private swimming pools but members still prefer to head to the beach and swim in the open sea.

I spotted these two dogs (I think they are golden retreiver), they are so obedient (note they are not leased), they dont run wild nor disturbed anyone on the beach/boardwalk and they just sat beside their owner. They are so beautiful.

These are sailing boats waiting for someone to take them to the sea.

I will featured them in my next post.

Please return tomorrow for the sailing boats in skywatch (sailing boats)

Changi Boardwalk Part 3-The walk

Continued from my previous post on the Boardwalk.

It is a long walk for me.

Well, I get to stop and look at some flowers and take some rest.

I guess we are too noisy, we frightened the cat.

On the way to the kelong walk. The kelong walk is the best spot to take sunrise and sunset photos.

Did you spot the bride walking for a photo shoot, I featured her in my earlier post. The pavilion is the best spot for fishing in the below photo.

Lots of greenery over here. Nice to be here with family just to relax and destress.

Please return for more photo of Changi BoardWalk.
