Singyi

It's CNY eve today!! by right, IF we had any extra money, we will be preparing to go overseas right now OR we would have been in overseas right now! ): i wanna go overseas, like totally.

grrr. but this year is an extremely bad year, so we decided to stay in Singapore this year. and well, since I don't have a choice, I might as well just make it a happy stay-over in Singapore, in my home. and so I decided to DIY once again.. ehhehe :D

ingredients:



ps: never ask me how I got those branches. it's a story I would never want to tell, it's totally embarssing wahahaha!

and so I had it done in about 1 hours' time, maybe longer than that, but I can't remember how long i took. :D

so during this time, mummy and daddy was putting up the decorations and sister is in chinatown working.

after everything was done, this is a showcase of my house right now:

if you are outside and is preparing to come into our house, this is what you will see:



and so, if you have taken off your shoes and is walking in, this is what you will past by soon:



and yes yes yes! the red one is my DIY. say it look nice I DEMAND! hahahahaha!

and so you proceed further INTO my house and you should see this:


big isn't it? we even had to SAW (yes, daddy use the saw to saw it away) some part of the branches away because it is hitting the fan.

and then you will see this too when you wanna take a seat.


hehehe. the two dogs are resting under the shades, as according to my daddy.

oh and this is my dining table. tsk tsk, look at the clock, it's auctally been with me since 10 years ago (1998 August) and it's still working fine just that the birds which is susposed to chirp every half hour can't chirp.



so after the whole decoration things, we do our own leisure stuff before heading down to Chinatown at a pretty late hour for the ffireworks and firecrackers.

oh and this time round, I decided to take a few candid shoots. will tell you as you stroll down to READ. :)

this proves that we are in chinatown.


the moola moo moo (please do not ask me how I get the name. ramdomly name it)


the crowds (auctally it's pretty un-crowded now)



tsk tsk, one of my candid shoots (but i didnt mananged to have the photo in a still mode because I took it too fast) so yaaa, wasted. T_T



ahhhaa! this is one candid shoot and I like it a lot a lot! :D it makes me feel (temporary) that getting a IXUS 85 is as good as a DSLR.



singapore a clean place. -.- ya right. look at the litters. btw, 80% of the residents in that rubbish pits are coconuts. imagine how they smell when they turn sour. and times that by 80%, you get the exact smell I had when I pass by there.


cute leh the hat. i got so impressed by him.



and what's CNY without flowers? (:


and this is another candid shot (Tsk tsk). I took this because this works on a turning motor (or do we call that rotor). and it reminds me the $20 rotor I spent during DNT last year. (okay, the year before)



and I auctally photoshop this photo with a meaning behind it. in art, we used to call it "artist statement: wahahah! I haven forgotton it yet!

needless to say, i photoshop in the wee hours, only at that time would I really do such uhmmm _____ (i dunno the word, so fill in your own word) thing. :D



grey-lising the gate to show that it's a matter of the past
for the coloured ceiling, it's to show that the contrast between the present and the past, '
as for the painted "tunnel-like" stuff, it's to show that time FLIES, so such that you can't catch the motion.



my candid shot too! the sky colour is really beautiful at night. it's not a totally dark colour, it have some light shade that day.

and then after that, we went to wait for the firecrackers. thanks god I have twilight to accompany me during the wait. :D HEHE.



the crowds were starting to build up.



never will there be a family (lol, i just type fire) gathering without a family photo hahaha.



and another one showing only daddy's eyes. ^^



now look at the crowds. FREAKY LOTSA people.



START of firecrackers and fireworks.





But sadly, we can't see the fireworks because it was been blocked. T_T but nevermind, I just seen fireworks less than a month ago so it's okay for me, okay, and my sister. hehe ^^



seeee! another candid shot, of mummy WOW-ing at the firecrackers.

and then daddy, with his funny expression. hahaha



and finally me, with the firecrackers ON ME. :D is that a sign of good luck btw. XD



after the firecrackrs, they released balloon. omggggg. how childish. tsk tsk tsk tsk. lol
btw, I wish I can get one lol.




and so after all this firecracks, we went home. geeee can die!! you have no idea how hard it was to get to our car man. grrrrr. but it's okay, i tink it's worth. hahahaha, althought it get pretty uncomfrtable sometimes in the crowd.
