In coming October, there are 2 festivals to celebrate.. There's one thing I liked about Singapore, is that, we have many races living and bonding together as one big family. No matter which race is having their own special festival, but other races will join in the fun too..
The coming 2 festivals are Malay's Hari Raya Puasa and Indian's Deepavali.. So my dad brought us out on Saturday's night for a car tour at Little India and Geylang Serai. Wow~!!! There're traffic jams and crowded streets with shoppers from all races. It's really a happy sightseeing moment. Both areas had lightings hanging above the roads and even on trees. You can see shops packed with many people buying things in need for the festivals.
Especially Geylang Serai, even when we reached there at 10pm, the place was still so crowded. Though lightings here wasn't as fanciful as Little India's, but at the both sides of the road were pasar malams, one side with all the food, the other side with all the clothings and home decorations. Very well organised... I can say these 2 places are much more fun than Chinese's Chinatown during Chinese New Year. Cos Chinatown had too little space to walk and things to see are quite limited too.. But it's still a heartwarming moment, cos it's a moment that we get to come out and buy things together as a big big big family to welcome the New year.
Just 4 more months to go, it will be Chinese's Chinese New Year.. hahaha.. I can go out with my kids and family next year. Yeah.. I was confined this year due to confinement.. So sad. hehe.. I'm already starting to countdown for 2009 New Year. haha..
