My pink contribution today will be old photos from my chinese new year 2009 photos.
This is a rickshaw on display in Tiong Bahru Shopping Mall earlier this year. We dont see these rickshaws in Singapore anymore cause they were replaced by better mode of transport. In old Singapore, rickshaw is one of the popular mode of transport. The rickshaw were imported from Shanghai, China during the 1880s.
Rickshaw had to be pulled by a man and running from place to place and the rickshaw puller must be very strong cause sometimes there were be two passengers in the back. Rickshaw was so popular that a station was built for them called Jinricksha Station. You can see a photo of the station which is no longer a rickshaw station that I posted here.
These cute mascots were part of the Chinese New Year's decoration in Parkway Shopping Mall to welcome the year of the Ox. I thought they looked like my piggy bank...lol. I like the pink ox. I used to made a paper mache piggy bank of a pink pig and I think I might make one again. :)

Pink Saturday is so much fun for me and especially fun when sites like yours participate. Thanks so much for sharing with me today! I ♥ your blog!
ReplyDeleteHahahha~ I took shots of these piggies when I was at Parkway too :P
ReplyDeletep/s: Do you live in the east as well?
Elaine, nah I dont live in the east but am nearer to the east than west. I do go all over Singapore from Parkway to Causeway Point to IMM, Jurong Point or Tiong Bahru...lol. But I prefer the east really and Parkway is one of my favourite shopping mall for the past twenty years. :)
ReplyDeleteI've lived in the east ever since I'm born. Parkway has also been the mall I've frequent the most :P
ReplyDeleteI remember the top floor used to be an amusement park, now it's a food court :P
A great place to live in, the east! :)
Elaine, that's so cool to be living in the east. Yes, the top floor used to be an amusement park belonging to Ken Air but Ken Air had gone bankrupt, so sad. Used to bring my kids there when they are young and Parkway is a nice place for the family, that is why till now they are still surviving and blooming.:)
ReplyDeleteLove the pigs! Gina jo
