Biennale trees along Orchard road.

I went to Orchard and saw these Biennale trees along the road. They were dressed in red and white polka dotted strips of cloth, as part of the Singapore Biennale. Actually they have already been wrapped for a month. But this time I really took a closer look at them and realize that these trees made Orchard road quite pretty.










Due to the recent hazy weather in Singapore, the sky looks gloomy all the time, it also made my eyes feel very dry and irritating.

My hives is getting much better, only left some scars because of scratching from last time.

Thanks for all the comments that wished for me to get better!



Recently I'm addicted to these fruity, heavenly chocolates.

Chinatown: Lantern Festival

Although I've not yet recovered from the nasty Hives, but I don't care about my ugly rashes, I just want to go out and have fun!!!
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.

Staying at home...

My Hives is getting a little bit better, but still takes time for it to recover. I've been staying at home for a week now, playing computer games, PS2 games, surfing internet, reading books and watching TV...

There was a news about Singapore Zoo that made me feel very happy for the animals which is Singapore zoo is trying to make their animals happier and more alert by giving them some sort of games or activities, to exercise their animal instincts!!!

By keeping fruit salads in an iced plate and letting it float on water for the Polar bear, so that it can swim and get the fruits. By putting fruits in the tree trunk for the elephants, so that they can try to get the fruits inside the tree trunk...That must be fun for them!!!

I always think the animals must feel very bored when staying in the zoo. If I was an animal, I don't like to stay there at all...I'll rather stay in the wild although I know I might die because of hunger or being attacked by other predators someday... But I will be bored to death if staying inside the cage and nothing to do but looking at the people looking at me.

But back to reality, as a human being, this is the only way I can see the animals so close without being afraid that they might attack me and want to eat me...That's why I still love to come to the zoo so much.

Lately, I've been watching a program called "Weird Nature" on the Animal Planet channel. I totally love it!!! I've watched 2 episodes so far and always looking forward to their new episode. Has anyone watched this?
