Chinese New Year 2015 - River Hong Bao at Marina
Without fail, every year, we sure to visit the River Hong Bao at Marina Bay FLoating Platform.
My favourite, of course must be the huge God of Fortune.
This year being Singapore 50th Anniversary, the theme is relive the past. There's a giant mural wall that illustrates Singapore skyline.
There's two huge peacocks decorating the seating areana. Really beautiful.
A familar person at one corner of the mural, that was Sir Stamford Raffles, Singapore's founder.
And of course the very popular and familar Merlion and the banner for SG 50 (Singapore jubilee year).
Difficult to take nice photos without so many heads blocking the lanterns, hahaha. It sure was crowded.

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.
