CHINATOWN

Chinese New Year came and went away with the bat of an eyelid. Yet, I still feel the fatigue of this period, 2 months into the new year. There is another 10 months to go, which I suspect will happen quickly.

This Chinatown visit almost turned out to be a disaster for me but that is another story. Anyway, the lighted zodiac along the streets had the same design source as those used for the Flower Dome CNY display.

CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND AND TOYLAND

This post should have been up in Dec 15 or Jan 16 but due to my laziness, I only managed to do it today. It has been long overdue. Looking at these photos, I think I am definitely not a good photographer. I just point and shoot and these were the results.
