Chinese New Year in Chinatown

This is 'Chinese New Year Decorations at the Malls'
They are Great World City, Raffles City, Suntec City and Parkway Parade.

Besides the festive mood created by these decorations at the malls..

Here are some stuff, that's worth a second look.

The 'FISH' symbolizes surplus and success.

RED colored figurines.
RED is always associated with Chinese New Year,

Symbolizes fire, which according to legend can drive away bad luck.

ORANGES

(a symbol of wealth and good fortune).

The Cantonese word for these oranges is a homonym for gold.

These flowers ..

That looked like birds nestling among the leaves..
