Chinatown - Chinese New Year Deco

Well, this is taken during pre-Chinese New Year. As I was early, I went around alone taking pictures.. The place was SOOOO crowded that I was lucky to have the space to do some snapping.

Yes, it's blurred and it is done on purpose. Playing around with my camera....

Now, grabbing a spot at the bridge, I quickly snapped this word "spring" decoration.

Plum blossom! I like it so much because it's in pink... A pity this is a fake one.

The human traffic there was so scary that I had to wriggle my way out and finally found a resting spot beside the temple and continue "snapping". This lantern seems almost the same that was on display during the lantern festival.

Attempting to create a "moon" from the lantern "bulb"

Oh yeah, my friends reached! And OMG! Their DSLR ran out of battery! So in the end, we ended our photo taking session earlier than planned. A shot at their camera

Oh yeah, not before we tried to capture the moon but many failed attempts

My last shot before we called it a day

Chinatown

Don't be surprised if you found this entry in the year of 2010 but this is actually dated 2009 because I was busy with posting photos in flickr but not adding new entries here.

Date: On one of the Normal Saturdays, 26/09/09
Time: Morning to late noon

Me and my photo-taking kaki went to Chinatown hoping to get something nice. But as any normal days, it was quite a hot weather that day so lots of sweats were dripped (but no worries, the sun helped to clear it away).

Look at this! I mistaken it as SQL! But well.. it's just my mistake

Moving around, there was a stretch of colorful shop houses. A picture of one of the shop houses.

I am totally into the number 8!

At the end, you can go find this entrance/exit path:

Well, when we moved around, there is an lantern exhibition for moon cake festival. The material they used are very unique.

Films? no.. look carefully

Different fabrics

Using CD & bottles

The below pictures are taken somewhere near.. eh... Tanjong Pagar? My friend brought me there and told me that it is a very nice place (which indeed is) to take picture. The only thing is, I was so tired and all in sweat when we reach there. Hopefully I will have the chance to go back to the place because there were so many unique stuffs over there.

A pattern of a stone statue.

A good word for business engraved on the doors

And a very nice mailbox
