Shopping for Chinese New Year 2015

Chinese New Year is just next week, so busy spring cleaning and last weekend, managed to squeeze some time to do shopping for Chinese New Year.

Was at Vivo City's atrium and managed to get what I needed for Chinese New Year from Tang's at Vivo City.

Beautiful lanterns decorated in the ceiling of the mall.

Ha, saw the huge elephant decorated with pictures of mahjong tiles. Poor elephant and it does not comes cheap either.

Chinese New Year 2015 - Red packets/Ang Pows

Collect this year's red packets/ang pows from the respective banks for use during the Chinese New Year. Best to have different red packets to differentiate the amounts that we placed inside.

POSB's mascot, Smiley, is placed in the front and centre of POSB red packets. Always “Neighbours First, Bankers Second”, POSB’s red packets also depict multiple generations of Singaporeans celebrating the festive season in our heartlands and around Marina Bay. The red packets were designed with Singapore celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year in mind.

DBS Girl and Boy, Xing and Jaan now comes in four designs featuring Xing and Jaan at play and celebrating the Lunar New Year by joyously spreading festive cheer.

Lastly, red packets from OCBC Bank.

Chinatown Singapore Street Light Up on 31st January 2015 (Saturday)

Time passes real fast, Chinese New Year is approaching real soon. Last Saturday, there's a ceremony for the street light up at Chinatown Singapore.

It was so crowded that I cant watch the performance but managed to catch the fireworks at the finale of the ceremony.

There will be another round of fireworks and firecrackers along with performance on the eve of Chinese New Year but I wont be there cause it will be super crowded.

This year it will be the year of the Ram/Goat. The display of the goats were placed too low unlike last year where the horses were hung up real high. Very bad position, too low for photographers.

Video of fireworks at the finale of the ceremony.
