2012 Lunar New Year in Singapore

Bruce spent his second year in Singapore, but he was out visiting Kreta Ayer (Chinatown) for the first time. It was crowded even on a weekday.





Wishing everyone a great year ahead!

Bruce made it last minute to the Sentosa Flower Show.  He felt that this year's event was not as grand as 2011's.

Elephant Parade Singapore: Saying hi to all of them

Bruce is happy to say that he met all his elephant friends before Christmas.  Some effort but he is glad he did it.  And here it is.....

Hopefully he will be able to meet more elephants elsewhere...
