February 19, 2007 - The Chinese Countdown

This area where I live is called ‘Sembawang’, so in chinese, it is with a special connotation like, ‘Wang4′ which means PROSPER…and many cars (that one long row of car lights) were queuing outside this temple (see the spot with the brightest light, the most brightly lit!) just before twelve o’clock. It’s strange as we followed the chinese custom but with the ‘western’ clock in terms of timing;)

These people are normally superstitious, they wanna be the first to put the ‘incense’ for the ‘Fortune God’ in this temple, this way, to gain good fortune for the new piggy year!

The Chinese Zodiac links twelve animals to a cycle of twelve years. This year it’s the year of the pig.

February 18, 2007 - CNY Prep

Lots of shoppers at the NTUC, the queue was super lonnnnnggg…Most were last minute shoppers, like me. I was there to buy some groceries for my breakfast tomorrow since it will be the first day of the Chinese New Year…all stores will be closed…

February 17, 2007 - Pumpkins in the air?

Noo….not pumpkins!:) These are the lanterns decorations (again) but within the mall. I prefer these yellow lively colours, for some reason, the red is over used and simply too much during this period of the year…

February 14, 2007 - Chilli Padi

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….
