新(金豬)年快樂!!

Have to fill up tummy before going for the ever challenging Chinatown walk, especially on the evening when they're starting the lighting ceremony!! with fireworks and fire crackers!!

One of the Gateways to Chinatown (we walked from One George Street)

The shot which missed the fireworks (there were two time slots for fireworks, and we missed both)

This year, they made the buildings into huge projector screens, which I thought was a pretty nice idea... There were similar projections last year, but on a smaller scale.


The crowd

and the amazing ways they use to catch a glimpse of what's happening on the main stage....Porky pig and his warner bro pals were singing CHINESE new year songs in ENGLISH!!! (see video below) I is FAINT on the spot! Mr goh said he already saw this coming....




As i'm not very tall myself, I asked if mr goh would carry me like that.

Cos i certainly don't want to resort to this.....So dangerous man! It was drizzling that night some more!


The battle of the Bakkwas...yea yea... eat all the pork you want....


Mr goh says this Cai Shen Ye looks like Santa Claus...Everything also East meets West liao hor?

but this is new! Teochew puppet show! We could see the lady (in leopard prints) behind the screen. Mr goh thinks it sounds like neighbours scolding each other.... =_=

The La4 Wei4, which I have never tried before...

See the pig's legs and the man chopping up, or rather sawing, the leg....


This is new... Ali... Ali BABA... Ali BABA shi ge kuai le de qing nian...
Huga Shaga Huga Shaga Huga Huga Huga Shaga!!

This is new too... (I initially wanted to eat Tut tut kueh... but the stall i patronised last yr not there any more!!) This is supposedly some Thailand snack. Don't ask me what is the white stuff... The orange stuff is coconut...

and the hand... is this greedy boy's.

Finally at a not-so-crowded street.

After which, we found out that Singapore also got Temple Street!! But why is it not called Miao Jie????

There's also a street of the dead.... right where they sell the new year goodies.... spoooky...

The next day... after a hard punching and kicking bodycombat class, we decided to eat Junk food. hurrr. Mac's new Prosperity Burger!! SUUUUUPER BLACK PEPPER burger. It was soooo spicy!!! I finished my diet coke.

and Mr goh got himself a new haircut for the piggy year. Don't know what's with the pose though...

same pose, 2 different days.. hurhur.

And that's it for the preview of CNY! 新(金豬)年快樂!! ACHAR!!!!
