Two days from now, Chinese New Year will be celebrated here in Singapore. We're on a holiday from February 3 to 4 and that means,
Ben's free time! My friends will go home to Philippines, but I rather stay here and save the $500 worth of one way ticket and just wait when it drops to $80. This time of year, a mass leave of absence were filed by Chinese employees so they could celebrate at their hometown.
I was quite curious on how the Chinatown, Singapore will look like during this season. Of course, it might be nice and exciting to see it for myself. So, I went to Chinatown for just a sight-seeing and might as well bump to something elegant items, which I can send to my Wifey.
The Way to Chinatown Singapore
I ride the Green line MRT and my aim was to alight at Outram Park station. I transfered to the Purple line MRT going to Punggol and Chinatown is just one station from Outram.
By the time I arrived at Chinatown MRT Station, I saw crowds of people from all races going to the Exits. With a crowd like this, it's totally new to me because I used to uncrowded MRT stations.
Anyway, I took the Exit to Pagoda Street , a street where everything you see are stores. See the
360 View of the Pagoda Street... Souvenirs are all over and some house decorations and danglers for Chinese New Year. I took some photos of them for you to take a look.

| These are also the magnetic souvenirs. |
The best that I have on that day are the freebies from the merchants, which is jelly with different fruit flavors. I got the peach-flavored jelly. The taste is sweet and the aroma of the peach is mouth watering, totally delicious...

Happy New Year to all my Chinese readers...
Give Me More, Singapore!
