Chinese New Year 2013

It will be the start of the Year of the Snake in another one week's time.  Many of us had started shopping for new year goodies, clothes and gifts.

We went to Compass Point last Wednesday and found that the decorations were very nice.  So I snapped a few pictures of it.  Here's one of the pictures.

Sera had been looking forward to visiting Chinatown, so we went on last Friday to let the kids have a feel of what it is like in Chinatown during this time of the year.  We had dinner at Macdonald in Chinatown Point.  

It seemed that Chinatown Point was newly renovated and now had shops such as Hockhua Tonic, Daiso, NTUC, 3 for $10 shop etc.  Sera was happy to buy a Snake soft toy decoration at the 3 for $10 shop.  By the way, the snake soft toy costs $2 even though the shop is named 3 for $10 shop.

We were anxious to go out to the street to view the street decorations so did not shop there for long.  Here are the pictures that we had taken.  Enjoy!

From the close up view of the street decorations, you can see the different animals of the Chinese Zodiac.

Christmas Lightings/decorations at Orchard Road 2012

Finally had the time to go to Orchard Road yesterday.

The weather was quite good, did not rain for the whole day.  The kids bought some toys from OG at Orchard Point and then we had our dinner at The Centrepoint.  After dinner, we took some photos and videos outside The Centrepoint .

After that, we crossed over to Orchard Central and took some pictures of the Christmas decorations outside the building.

As we walked into Orchard Central, we were happy to find many nice Christmas decorations that were good for phototaking.

This last photo was taken at the OC photo booth.  We chose the scenery that we wanted, posed for the camera and keyed in our email address for the system to send the photo to us.
