Awaiting the Year of the Horse in Singapore

I am back in Singapore - photo taken on the 32^nd floor of the Westin Singapore, a five star hotel overlooking Marina Bay, in the heart of the financial district. I am wearing a dress from Zara; snake-skin shoes which I bought locally; and a Longchamp handbag.

The city-state is getting into the festive mood, while awaiting the Lunar New Year – the Year of the Horse. The horse is regarded as an intelligent, elegant, energetic and reliable animal, and supposedly should help us achieve great success when we leap forward and gallop into the New Year.

On Saturday, I was enchanted by traditional Chinese performances, while I visited the Star Vista shopping mall.

Crystal Girls Band`s music captivated the audience. We were engrossed in the incredibly smooth and - on occasions - dramatic and spirited tunes, expertly delivered by a trio of these talented performers. Bravo Crystal Girls!

We were then treated to an energetic Wushu moves by a team of sportsmen who showcased martial art patterns and manoeuvres that took our breaths away. Their movements - stances, kicks, balances, jumps – are based on aggregate categories of traditional Chinese martial art styles.

 

 

 

 

What a treat!
