Immersed in the local CNY atmosphere!

CNY eve was spent squeezing with the crowd in Chinatown. A few of us went down to take a walk and do some last minute shopping as well. At times, the alleys were so packed that we were unable to move! The worse is at the cross junction where everyone tries to get their way.

We din start buying till after midnight, when we were hoped that the prices will fall. After walking for a few stalls to look for the Japanese jelly, we realised dat the various stalls are selling it @ almost the same price haa. So we ended up not buying for the much looked-for item of the night.

Oh and the firecrackers and fireworks at 12 Midnight. It was damn funny lor..we were so stuck in the alley that we could only catch glimpses of a few sparks and the smokkkee...cos our view was blocked by a building.





Doesnt it look like the building is on fire instead haa.

After midnight, we went to si ma lu's guan yin temple. My first time doing the worships. I was also at guan yin temple during CNY last year but missed out the worship cos dad felt it was too crowded already. But in fact my experience was q a fast one, despite the crowd.

We haf to hold the incense really high up. And immediately after we made the offering, the ppl fr the temple will tk them out. Some devotees will bring the incense back. I tink it's like bringing back the blessings from guan yin niang niang. The rituals here was an "eye-opener" for me. All my almost-23 years in SG, I nv knew of such culture. So im glad I was here tonight =)




Devotees making their entrance into the temple.

I hope my prayers werent too long that made me sound too greedy =)
