Took my Lumix GF1 for a spin at Chinatown yesterday. Chinese New Year is just a week away and the crowd can be seen everywhere doing their new year shopping.

The weather was terribly hot and humid. But thanks to the light weight Lumix baby, shooting has never been easier and discrete than my DSLR counterpart.



Nice blossoms.




Miniaturised lions.




Chinese New Year decors.




More decors.




Malt candies.

I always pass by this shop whenever I go to Chinatown.




'Kuay ji'




'Kai Xin Guo'




I used to eat this when I was younger. But I have no idea what it is called.




It will be so cool if I can make one of these for my car plate!

Fascination.



Overwhelming crowd on a hot saturday afternoon at Chinatown.



Stockpiling new year goodies.



They are selling some sort of jelly here. They claim it can remove heatiness.



Ang moh shopping for Chinese New Year decor.

Hi Retrovox,

Mind if I contribute a few CNY night shots?
Here goes ...


Tiger on display ...



Choose carefully, don't pick carelessly ...



Untie, reasonable price, good buy, must buy ...



Free try, don't shy, don't buy never mind ...



Good buy, must buy, don't say never mind ...



Though tiger year, lion also come here to spread the cheer ...



Drink up the Tiger ... beer ...



To those celebrating the Lunar New Year - I wish you a good and prosperous year ahead

Cheers
