I love freshly cut Chilli Padi in soya sauce. With this, I can eat any kind of noodle soup, really anykind;) I simply love it…In Hungary, I could have use the notable Paprika…however, I can’t find soya sauce…so for all ten weeks, I live without chilli in the way I eat in Singapore:) You bet, I missed it very much….

There is no winter in Singapore but I know this flower can withstand even the temperatures in the snow. It looked pleasant to me;) maybe I am really in the mood for CNY this year…I dunno why, maybe I am looking forward to greet the ‘PIG’ year :p

I wrote some days ago that there will be a drums video by these children. And since that day, I had been finding many ways and alternatives to get it uploaded. After several tries, in youtube, in google etc…finally ta-daa……..!!!..the video in dailymotion:) Hope you’ll like it

This is the kind of flowers called 梅花 mei hua or Plum Flower…it looked sweet in this pinkish colour:) Adds mood to the chinese new year somehow

In the mass rapid transit (MRT) I found this…

This dragon dance was much looked forward to. To be honest, I was caught by a little surprise because it was actually the little boys who were performing this dragon dance. This means that the ‘dragon’ is a little shorter than the normal ones;)

The introduction was a drums performance, like a warm up for the boys:) I will show you the drums intro tomorrow. Meanwhile, click on to see the ‘Dragon Dance’ and let me know if you find it cute like I do:)

p.s. Usually strong guys or young man will be in the performance because the dragon head is very heavy and the dragon body is very very long, usually with more than twenty men…if you wanna see more, I’ve found a glow in the dark dragon in a Japan Dragon Dance championship to share;)

This a a new year goodies stall. The chinese believes in eating things that are symbolism of nice things to come as a way of new year celebrations. One of which is Pistachios which in chinese it is called ‘kai xin guo’  so it means ‘happy fruit’, so i supposed on the new year’s day, I’ll show you one closed up of the goodies we buy at home:)

In case you wanna see what the Singapore’s shopping malls supply for the celebration of Chinese New year!;) Here you’ll see lots of things ranging from clothings for women, to children, to household decorations, to shoes, to handbags etc:) All in the new year’s
Theme…so RED…!!

This is how Chinese New Year is celebrated. The most favourite activity is to ‘usher in FORTUNE!’ Have you ever wonder how is it done? I’ll try to get you a video one of these days. As the CNY is coming, which is on the 18th Feb, a lot of places are in this mood with lots of red everywhere. I used to think it looked too ‘ching cheong’ many years back, but now I think it is how Chinese believe the red will ‘scare’ off the evil spirits and bad luck in the past year:)

p.s. This is CausewayPoint (Woodlands MRT station is the nearest to get there…)

Teh tarik (“pulled tea” or 拉茶 in Mandarin) is a type of tea which can be bought in restaurants and outdoor stalls in Singapore. However, I found this Teh tarik in the food court with an idea like the ‘McDonald’s’ menu. They have packaged it as such like a set meal with mee robus, mee goreng and many other malay food. Coming back from my Euro trip somehow makes me feel this is ‘fresh’;) By the way, this teh tastes very good!

Do you know what is Teh Tarik?

See tomorrow’s for the answer;)
