Fancy red packets; peach blossoms for sale in bustling Chinatown
Kumquat plant at our apartment's entrance; homemade Yusheng salad
Giant pomelos, and the beautiful green rind of a 20 lb one my mum bought
Candies and snacks galore!
Trinkets and accessories too
Rows of steamed chicken at a hawker stall; abundance of lap cheung near People's Park
Hubs shaking the hand of a young God of Fortune (cai shen), in the produce section of Cold Storage (of all places) - we were milling around when a lion dance troupe came through the store to 'bless' it for Chinese New Year. The troupe graced every aisle of the grocery store, to the amusement of its patrons (with a good showing of foreign expats). Hubs waited in line with the little kids to get to the God of Fortune, and got a red packet and a piece of candy. :)
Fireworks by Singapore River
The hardest part about going home in the winter is coming back. I couldn't enjoy the last few days in Singapore just from the sheer dread of returning to Pittsburgh.
Two homes, a world apart
Winter has its charm and I think it's beautiful, but I simply prefer warmth and sunshine. Sigh.
