Chinese New Year 2013 - Chinese New Year Decorations

As soon as we ushered in the new year, Chinese New Year Decorations are already displayed in some malls. Time really flies fast, next month Chinese all over the world will be welcoming the Chinese New Year in the Year of the Snake. So expect many displays to be in the form of the snakes.

Love this display of cranes at Nex Mall, took these photos with my handphone.

Happy New Year 2013

Here wishing all my blogger friends a very Happy New Year. Wishing everyone Good Health, Good Luck and Good Fortune and may all your wishes come true. Heavy rain and more wet weathers ahead so stay safe and dry. For Chinese, water means money so it might be a good sign to start the year with good auspicious sign. :)

Marina Bay Office Building

Inside one of the tall office building in Marina Bay Financial Centre, the lobby looked so grand just like a hotel. Love this tall christmas tree in the lobby.

On the second floor was the food court where they sold mainly local food. Oh I love this biscuit corner, reminded me of my childhood times where we bought bicuits in the tins from the grocery shop.

Outside the building is this famous buffalo sculpture which I posted before. You can view my earlier post.

Skywatch Friday - Marina Bay

Took photos of these tall office tower buildings at the Marina Bay Financial Centre. My sister worked in one of the tall building so I got a chance to visit inside one of the building but only on the lobby area, could not go up to her office due to security reasons.

Love this stretch of the link between Marina Bay Financial Centre and Marina Bay Sands. A great place to take photo of the whole rows of financial buildings and the Singapore river.

Spotted among the tall building was Clifford Pier. Clifford Pier was built between 1927 and 1933, and was named after Sir Hugh Clifford, Governor of the Straits Settlements between 1927 and 1929.

Christmas trees made from recycled materials.

Christmas Gathering 2012

We had a family gathering at my brother's home on Christmas Day. We celebrated with some local chinese food and pizza and we also exchange presents. Was really a fun and happy day for all of us.

Pizza and side orders from Pizza Hut.

Local Chinese food

Braised fish head

Braised tofu with prawns.

Hahahaha we dont have a christmas tree so we just lay our presents on the table. We used to have christmas trees in our homes when our children were younger, was fun putting and decorating the trees but taking out all the decorations and keeping the christmas trees became a chore, hahaha. But think we might get a christmas tree again.

For after meal dessert, we had mao shan wang durian log cake. Wow the best log cake we ever had. Mao Shan Wang is like branded durian, dont come cheap and was really very delicious.
