The above shot is easily one of my favourit one for the night. I love the bright orange fruit standing out in the darkness. And i also love the many little lights on top that sort of add more life (in its tiny small way) in the darkness.

One of the main draw for this year is the giantic chess set, chinese chess. Above is one shot of the whole set.
As you can see from the above shot, i’m not able to fit the whole chess board in one frame. I did not bring my wide angle lens that day, a bit regret though.

Above is the wishing well at the River Hongbao, which is crowded with people. Those around would toss a coin and aim for the silver bells. If you hit the bell with a ting, then what you wish for would come true. If you notice, there are a few bells hanging around, and each of them represent a different kind of wish. Such wishes include health, propersity, career, education..etc..
All amount collected from this well would be donated to a charity, which is a good cause.

This is the first display that would be presented once you entered the floating platform. The phoenix really captures the attention of me. However i feel that is too complicated of a design at the bottom, too clustered.
I really wonder if the phoenix does exists long long time ago, or is just a legendary animal.

Went to the yearly River HongBao today. The venue has been changed to the floating platform at Marina this year.
As usual, there is a huge crowd there, especially since is the first day of the CNY as well. I preferred this venue as it is more spacious and more open. The place is windy and you can feel the breeze while walking around the platform.
The photo above is the God of Fortune. May everyone of us here find our good fortunes!!

Above is one part of the boardway that stretches out to the sea. I love walking till the very end!! The sea breeze is really amazing, and i love the feeling of the sea breeze “kissing” my face.
It does makes one feel so at ease and down to earth for that moment.
