Because Lantern Festival is coming!!!
So we decided to go to Chinatown during the start of the Lantern Festival.
Every year they will decorate this road differently.
This year I can see many lanterns along the road. What can I say, it's lantern festival!!! That's why it's not a surprise for me to see lanterns everywhere.
It was very crowded in Chinatown that day. Since the main road was closed for the performance at night, everyone was walking in the middle of the road. I was also eating, walking in the middle of the road.These are special lanterns made by artisans who came from China.
When it finally became dark, Chinatown became very beautiful with all the lanterns lighted up!!! So many kinds of lanterns were hanging around us.
We went to the market every time we came to Chinatown...It's almost look the same every year. But it was fun, because I seldom come to Chinatown, maybe 2 times a year on Lantern festival and Chinese New Year.
I was looking for a lantern to carry to the Chinese Garden next time. Call me childish, but I'm a kid at heart lol!!!
Aw...Cute!!!
While we were still walking inside the market, suddenly we heard very loud sounds of fireworks. We rushed to the closed road and saw everyone were there. So crowded!!! Even the President of Singapore was there to officiate the light up ceremony.
It's exciting!!!
The iconic symbol of Singapore, the Merlion.
His costume looked fabulous and I was wondering if it's very heavy?
Smiles. Everyone looked happy with the smile on their faces.
I like these costumes!!!
More costumes.
I feel happy when I looked at this photo. The little girl was running with a big smile!!! She's cute!!!
When this drum past by, it was so loud that I couldn't hear my own voice, everyone was shouting very loudly too.
Big lion head. This is a must have thing during all the chinese festivals.
There are many dragon dance groups, but I only took photos of a few...I was enjoying so much and so excited. I think the atmosphere there made me excited?
The performance left a lasting impression in my mind. I find it's hard to express my feeling, but I was smiling and laughing a lot throughout the whole performance.

Thanks everyone for stopping by and dropping me your comments.
But something happened to my blog recently.
I've just received a message from the Blogger team saying that my blog has been locked by Blogger's spam-prevention robots a few days ago.
I've written an email to them and they've already replied me:
"Hello,
Your blog has been reviewed, verified, and cleared for regular use so that it will no longer appear as potential spam. If you sign out of Blogger and sign back in again, you should be able to post as normal. Thanks for your patience, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team"
Since then, I've signed in and out so many times for 2 days, but my blog is still locked. I've written another email to them. Now I'm waiting for their reply. Today I even noticed that my latest entry disappeared. It was no longer published but saved as a draft.
What's really going on, Blogger?
I'm feeling very sad and confused right now. I don't know why the Blogger's spam-prevention robots detected my blog as spam blog. I was trying to find a reason for all these and my friend told me maybe someone has flagged my blog. I was so angry to hear that, why did someone do that to me? What did I do to offend them?
Sorry but I've to put a banner to prevent other nonsense people flagging my blog again.
