Valentine Day Singapore
Posted on Wednesday, September 24th, 2008 at 10:23 am
The Chinese New Year celebrations in Singapore are a colourful time for the city. The festivities set out for 2010 will coincide with Valentines’ Day as well. So, those planning a visit to Singapore during the New Year season will have much to celebrate.
Known among locals as the Chun Jie Festival, the festivities carry on for about three whole weeks, and are mainly centred around the celebrations that take place at Singapore River, Hongbao, Chinatown and the Chingay parade. Aside from these venues there are other scattered events around Singapore during the New Year season.
The birthplace of all that is traditionally Chinese to Singapore is Chinatown. Chinese who migrated to Singapore saw many a beginning in Chinatown. The area also saw the first celebrations in 1985 and is still considered as the place to be to experience the best parts of the New Year celebrations. Visitors could delve into the traditional Chinese culture and experience the festive spirit for themselves first hand by strolling through the streets of this city.
The streets normally display an array of stalls serving traditional sweets and delicacies. These include waxed duck and cookies as well as little colourful ornaments. The New Year is welcomed with the countdown party where all the merrymaking goes on way past dawn and into the early hours. The traditional Chinese New Year celebrations draw to a close usually by the lunar month’s fifteenth day.
Huge figures of the God of Fortune are created at the Hongbao River. Blessings in the form of gold dust are usually sprinkled on passers-by as a means of evoking good tidings in the future, including prosperity and wealth. Those who are looking to make a wish for the New Year can make their way to the prosperity garden. Here, shows to welcome the specific animal according to the Chinese horoscope for that particular year are held with wild fireworks and dance troupes from overseas as well as local groups.
The Chingay Parade is known for its brightly decorated floats and packed crowds that dance the night away. The floats are taken in procession down the streets with musical performances to entertain the crowds. The highlight of the parade is the choreographed performances of the energetic cheerleaders. The parade usually winds up with a gala party on Orchard Road, and is an event that should not be missed.
For tourists who stay at a hotel in Singapore such as the Copthorne Orchid Hotel Singapore attending the Orchard Road party would be convenient as the hotel is just five minutes away. The hotel caters to business and leisure travellers and is within close proximity to many entertainment and shopping districts.
How can I find a new girlfriend?
Since my departure is at my past life, I felt alone. It left me satisfied that uncertainty. I have other important things in my life to focus on (school, army, etc.), but I just know that I want and need a girlfriend. It's good to have a girlfriend because I think the relationship is very valuable as a lesson in length. You can learn, love, patience, etc.. I want a new girlfriend to love and dedicate myself to. For now, I feel very alone, what more with Valentine's Day around the corner. How can I find a new girlfriend? I appreciate any help. By the way, I am 16 and Singapore. Thank you all very much. Thank you to everyone who helped.
Doing a search. Time will come and you have a girlfriend. You are still young. Enjoy being young. Do not rush things. Focusing on things like the rest of your first school, etc. .. Hope it helps .. =)
