Geylang Serai - Hari Raya Pausa 2011 - Part 2

Continued from my walk along Geylang Serai, I saw these beautiful decorations fronting Joo Chiat Complex.

Love these butterflies deco.

Very interesting to see what these stalls are selling.

Rows of stalls selling floor carpets and they are not cheap either. Some cost more than a $100.


Beautiful clothes on sale.




Ready made curtains. Sometimes it is cheaper to get those ready made curtains than to tailor made. They have all sizes of curtains on sale here.

Geylang Serai - Hari Raya Puasa 2011 Part 1

We are a multi racial country and this month the muslim will be celebrating Hari Raya Puasa. Different ethnic group in our country have their own little town which sell mainly the familar stuff of each ethnic group.

For the Chinese, we have our Chinatown, the Indians have their Little India, the Eurasians have Orchard Road and the muslims have Geylang Serai but really we actually shop in each other town and all over Singapore.

On August 30th, the muslim will be celebrating Hari Raya Puasa so Geylang Serai is suddenly filled with huge crowds busy shopping for the festival. Even non muslim went to Geylang Serai to soak in the atmosphere and to shop too. I was there to eat my favourite nasi padang in the hawker centre. :)

Saw these jars of cookies at the stall reminded me of my shopping in chinatown during Chinese New Year.



Besides cookies, there were cooked and delicious food at the Bazaar.





Tomorrow I will share photos of non food stalls at Geylang Serai and Friday Skywatch I will share the light up of the streets along Geylang Serai.

Sentosa - Merlion

Visiting Sentosa, one sure to take photo of the huge Merlion. I got this shot of the Merlion from the top of the hill i.e. near the Image of Singapore Building. I like this photo of the Merlion.

One have to pay an entrance fee to go to the top of the Merlion. I guess it is a kind of crowd control too. I been there before but back then did not take photo. It provided a 360 degrees view of Singapore.

Sentosa - Resort World

We could see many flags flying high on Sentosa cause we just celebratef our National Day on 9th August.

Flags hanging from the hotel's balconies on Sentosa.

Favourite spot on Sentosa for taking photo with the Singapore Flag.

But a must go for tourist must be the Casino. Tourists go in free while locals have to pay an entry fee of $100.

Singaporeans need to use their Identity Card to gain entry to the Casino and also to pay an entry fee of $100.

I rather use the $100 for better use cause I dont know how to gamble, I always donate to the jackpot machine lol.

Saw these decorations at the atrium of Resort World.



OMG, even the bakery outside the Casino baked their breads/cakes associated with gambling.
