Singapore River Hongbao 2011

Singapore River Hongbao is a yearly event to welcome the new Chinese New Year. Without fail, almost every year, hubby and me will visit the event. This year, we dont get to see many lanterns but the performance make up for it.



Ooooo, I wish I could have a gold coin as big as this...lol.


I dont see the yearly horoscope anymore. What a disappointment!

A replica of the Goddess of Mercy Temple at waterloo street.



This year there are more than one million people who visit the event.

Singapore River Hongbao 2011

Last Saturday night, hubby and me visited the Singapore River Hongbao at The Float in Marina.

It seems like a yearly affair for us to visit the event.

We saw our Prime Minister at the event too. Just like everyone, I took a video of him hahaha.

The big head dolls are so cute, they are performers from Taiwan.





Another video of the prime minister, I was not actually following him, was taking photos of others, when hubby told me prime minister is behind me, so I just turned around and took a video of him.

Message to prime minister, Budget Day is coming, hope to hear good news. :) My wish is to make housing more affordable for first timers. Property prices have gone crazy due to investors. In Singapore, not surprising if you heard from friends they own more than one property, more than one handphone, more than one car, etc. but not me I am using a pass me down handphone from my son...lol. (hey son's old phone still working since son is upgrading to Iphone.)


Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

Lighting of Fire Crackers on Chinese New Year's Eve

It was so crowded in Chinatown on Chinese New Year's Eve. Everyone trying to do a last minute shopping for chinese new year. Of course I wasn't there cause I never like huge crowd.

Hubby went there at 10 pm and stay till midnight to watch the lighting of firecrackers. He took the videos.

Lighting of firecrackers at the stroke of twelve during Chinese New Year's Eve. There were fireworks too but hubby did not capture the fireworks on video, he only video the firecrackers.

So much merry making during these few days for Chinese New Year, I think I am going to fall sick soon...lol.
