Gong Xi Fa Cai - Welcome the year of the snake

A very happy Chinese New Year to all who celebrate the festival. This being the year of the Snake, we could see lots of decorations and toys associated with the snake.

I was so busy spring cleaning and shopping and stocking up food for the festival. Most malls, shops and markets would be closed especially during the first two days of the year of the snake.

Skywatch Friday - Night Kite Flying

Interesting to fly a night kite. This kite was operated by a remote control. The kite must be very expensive, wonder what happen if halfway the battery dies down and the kite would crash down on the ground.

A short video on the night kite.

Chinese New Year 2013 - Chinese New Year Decorations

As soon as we ushered in the new year, Chinese New Year Decorations are already displayed in some malls. Time really flies fast, next month Chinese all over the world will be welcoming the Chinese New Year in the Year of the Snake. So expect many displays to be in the form of the snakes.

Love this display of cranes at Nex Mall, took these photos with my handphone.

Happy New Year 2013

Here wishing all my blogger friends a very Happy New Year. Wishing everyone Good Health, Good Luck and Good Fortune and may all your wishes come true. Heavy rain and more wet weathers ahead so stay safe and dry. For Chinese, water means money so it might be a good sign to start the year with good auspicious sign. :)
