TIGER… that is the celebrated animal in the Chinese calendar this year.

Today is the Chinese New Year… and also Valentine’s Day…  there will be two days public holiday in conjunction with the CNY… 14 & 15 February 2010. But since the first day of CNY falls on Sunday, Tuesday will be used to replaced it as public holiday… meaning there will be extra one day holiday
There will be lots of ang pau, lion dance, fire crackers, fireworks and foods… but for those who are not compatible with peanuts… yea, peanuts are served  a lot during CNY… you either avoid it or get ready with your best acne treatments after that… peanuts are really tasty, but it also makes your acne pops out

Anyway, let’s celebrate the Chinese New Year… and welcome the Tiger into our home… and let it brings lots of happiness, good health, prosperities and mega fortune… Gong Xi Fa Cai…

And not to forget…. Happy Valentine’s Day

It was like this… after all the VIPs comes down from the center stage and before the troops starting going up to the stage… they were all circling the stage first… with all the small pieces of metallic papers which was shoot into the air as part of the opening highlight lying on the stage floor, suddenly there is a small tornado at the center of the stage… it was clearly visible coz the metallic papers were spinning in the shape of the little tornado… it was quite difficult to capture it in photo with all the troops blocking the stage… but surely you can see the metallic papers circling up like tornado… hope it is a good sign

The metallic papers are concentrating in the middle of the stage forming the little tornado..

The little tornado getting stronger…

Second… this one maybe not that weird… there is one guy from one of the troops displaying fire acrobatic… he was carrying fire torch and a bottle of kerosene… yes it is kerosene coz I can smell it… he will put some of the liquid in his mouth and blow it towards the fire torch… and there will be a big fire shooting up in the sky with some thick black smoke… and at one of the shoot out…while he was right in the center of the stage… he actually created a big dark circle of smoke… and it was visible for a few seconds… and I hope this is not a bad sign but a good sign… for the year of the tiger

Fire display…

Big explosion…

Now, the fire man is on the stage…

Then I saw this black circle… and start capturing more photos of it…

The fire man trying to put off his fire torch…

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year to ALL of you out there.

As for me, I’m hoping the RAT will bring loads of good health and prosperity to me… same goes to you all, I wish the RAT year will bring us loads of good health and prosperity… and enjoy life more
