Singapore: Chinatown

Once again,

Chinatown decorations all over the main streets.

Descriptive pillars give sound imagery.

...i'm in the place to be on a Sunday morning- where the cow switches the positions of the sky and the earth, where fishes are left over every year, where dragons and horses have abundant energy, and finally where ten thousand elephants are renewed.

Chinatown. Lovely imagery.

Inside a complex, i was happy to hear a group of middle-aged people talking and laughing with a young girl, who had stopped to express extreme amusement at a product offering notice for a local salon.

Many shops close for Chinese New Year period.

The small girl, who seemed to be quite intelligent, could not stop laughing at this:

Some of these services just don't sound very right! Especially "bust exchange" (!...)

Hence, Chinatown is the place to be for ultra-fobby English translations.

Lion dancers can be heard from all over chinatown. I found these dancers to be very interesting, because they danced at any particular shop for a long time. So long, that most of the people initially drawn by the loud banging, get tired of the racket and walk away.

Chinese boss mesmerized by dancing lion.

Chinese boss mesmerized by the mandarin numbers brought by the lion and he is proud of it. He later asks shoppers at his store for their opinion on the meaning of the number.

A successful Singaporean dessert store chain, was my resting place after walking a long time around Chinatown.

Dessert Hut a hot spot for many Singaporeans.

I ordered a hot red bean soup. The taste was of a verying degree of authenticity, so i ordered an ice dessert for a good finishing effect. But how wrong i was, for every spoonful i ate, the taste became heavier and heavier. And i left it at this.

Wasted food for a less wasted body.

Darkness has no light. The one in darkness cannot see the light. Thanks to my mum, who is the light. I can no longer eat these types, nor bubble tea type desserts and feel right.

I couldn't find the word to describe the horrible taste of the desserts, though in the end, the precise word came to mind: unrighteous.

Singaporean structures are very high-tech. To me, they aim to portray the Singaporean way of thinking: innovation and precision.


Kids put on water show for lunch time adults.


The four pillars meet - zoom and check the precision of this water spout.

The show lasted about half an hour, and at one stage, had four kids sitting on one spout each. "Ooo"s and "Aaa"s and much attention were attracted from shoppers of the surrounding shops.

And finally, what are these uncles doing?


Special attention for the uncle picking chin hairs.
