Singapore culture -Chinese Lunar New Year deals - special edition I

Singapore with a population of 5 over million people has 70% Chinese majority.

Each year during the lunar New year the Chinese will be dressing up in new clothes to usher deals in the new year, visiting and greeting each other , feasting together as a reunion .

Children are exceptionally happy as there are money to be collected through red packets - a symbol of good luck , lots of goodies to snack with continuous Chinese New Year songs played in every corner of the streets . It used to be a noisy and busy affair where fire crackers will turn the whole town in a SEA of RED.

This series of “still life “ painting I and II depict the goodies found in most households.

RED symbolises Good Fortune
