Chinese New Year Shopping in Chinatown

Chinatown decorated beautifully to welcome Chinese New Year.

I think the laser display on the building looked beautiful.

It is so crowded in chinatown especially during Chinese New Year period.

The Swedish Gotheborg

I went to Vivo City again on New Year's Day 2007. Was surprised to see a beautiful and nice ship.The Swedish Ship Gotheborg is an exact replica of the Swedish sailing vessel which undertook its third expedition to China in 1743 to 1745.

Christmas Trees

Saw these cute teddy bears in the huge christmas tree at harbour front. They would be sold after christmas for charity.

Beautifully decorated and lighted christmas trees at Vivo City.

The Day It Snowed in Singapore

On Christmas Day, I went to Orchard Road with my family. Wow, it snowed on christmas day right here in Singapore. Well, not the real snow (lol) but snow make out of bubbles or you call it soap foam. Ha Ha Ha, they really look like snow from a distance. Was quite beautiful when you see these artificial snow droping from the top. Now I think I would like to visit other countries with real snow (lol).

I like this picture of the boy with his face all covered with soap foam, he must have enjoyed very much ...lol.

Now what a mess but I guess the fun is all it matters.
