Chinese New Year in Resorts World, Sentosa, Singapore


Hail the God of Prosperity! Not one but many - a delightful sight as they mingled among the crowd.

Hullo friends,am back after a short break - getting ready for the Chinese New Year and having spent a few days in Singapore to usher in the Year of the Rabbit.

Here's wishing  my friends, Gong Xi Fa Cai! Do hop over and enjoy some glimpses of Resorts World, on the island of Sentosa  off the southern coast of Singapore. Resorts World is an integrated resort with casinos, theme park, Universal Studio, lots of exciting food  outlets and shops . There is so much to see and do, so go visit and treat yourselves to a wonderful experience.

My world is bright, happy and colourful!

Exit the tiger for the rabbit

You can't miss it! The giant topiary rabbit wishes you lots of luck

Alice in Wonderland Rabbit  adds to the  bunny flavour of the season!

Am receiving lots of gold coins ( chocs). I know I'll be very lucky this year!

The Dragon , the fifth animal among the 12 in the Chinese Zodiac calendar  - vibrant and bold ,prancing in the air

Resorts World logo dressed in auspicious red 

Roll out the Easter Bunny eggs  

Sure worth its weight in gold!

The Monkey, one of the Chinese Zodiac animals making its cheeky appearance
The Merlion  celebrates too

By the boardwalk, fun  among the rise and fall of mini  water fountains

Recognisable the world over

Resorts World floral display wowed everyone

The Lion roars a huge welcome and Singapore continues to astound the world

A magical stroll for children and adults alike
Cute piggy though he comes in last among the 12 Zodiac animals

Great atmosphere  at the floral display

    Gong Xi Fa Chai to you as well! Thank you for visiting us in sunny California. What an amazing place to vacation in Singapore. (The closest I've been to Singapore is to the airport -- what a grande place that is too!) We all love the decor -- all the animals were put together using flowers?! Eeeeekkkk, that snake!!!! Such a brave soul to hold it and NOT squirm?!

    What fun, Keats! It's going to be a tall order for anyone to top that level of creativity! Trust the Singaporeans to give 100% in everything they do! My parents are in Singapore right now for the Flower Fest, and they were there in Dec to chill out at Universal Studios. Me, I am stuck at home looking after all our furry children!
