Lion dance and China Town

Daddy is very busy with work lately. He went back to office to work on 1st January and every week end since 1st January. Mummy and I followed daddy to his office. Mummy brought me to the shopping centre to walk walk when daddy burried his head in his stack of work

When we left daddy's office today, we saw cai gao jiao performance. There were a few men standing on long wooden stick. Every man jumped over the fire than lied on the floor. The next man jumped over the row of men who jumped over the fire before him. Interesting stunt

After the cai gao jiao, a group of young people sang. It was boring. Many in the crowd left. We tong till the carolling was over to watch lion dance.

There was a lady who distributed calender for 2006 and a little hand where you can flag flag flag. Tack tack tack, kept me occupied while waiting for the carolling to be over

Finally the lion dance performance. It was presented by students from a primary school. This is the 2nd time I watched lion dance. 1st time I saw it last year. I wanna touch the lion but mummy kept pulling me back. I like the music chiang zi tong chiang, chiang chiang chiang ...... There were tangerine on the floor and 2 lion "slept" on it. The lion spit out the tangerine skin. Yucks, dirty lion. After a long wait, the lion "woke up". The tangerine flesh were arranged in Chinese character "ji", ie luck. Clever lion. We chao after this

Next we went to China Town. Boi it was very very crowded. I was fascinated by the lighting, flowers, Chinese New Year deco and the laser casted on the flats.

There was a shop which sold lion dance. Big and small. So many so many of them. A man stood at the entrance and controlled a puppet lion. Very very interesting

After squeezing through 2 streets, daddy, mummy and I were very tired. We took MRT back to daddy's office. I zzzz...... once I broad daddy's car

I learned few words from this trip - wu si (lion dance), wu long (drangon dance), nian gao (Chinese new year cake), yin liu (Pussy willo), bian pao (fire cracker) .......
