Pre-show performance at BUTS

BUTS stands for Ballet Under The Stars.

Pre-show performance at Ballet under the Stars

As requested by someone yesterday, here's one photo. Only one actually.
This is the pre-show performance by other dance groups.


Just look at the people! So many people! There's more on the left and right sides.

ballet under the stars

Last Saturday evening at around 6pm.

Hundreds and maybe it's thousands of people sat on the lawns of Fort Canning Green to watch 15th edition of "Ballet under the Stars". "Ballet under the Stars" is a performance by the Singapore Dance Theatre.

thousands who are going to enjoy ballet under the stars

This photo shows the people entering into Fort Canning Green.

(Not for me though, it's too humid in Singapore to sit on the lawn with hundreds of people. I also can't appreciate dance. )

Duanwu Jie / Bak Chang Eating festival.

Today's Duanwu Jie. Also known as Dragon Boat Festival.

For many of us, we don't really care about the boat festival, but we are happy just eating Zong Zi (or most people in Singapore call it Zhang / Bak Zhang).

This is Bak Zhang made by my cousin's mother in law.
If you are interested, you can view the process of making it here. I capture my mum making this delicacy last week. View them at my Flickr site.

Bak Chang / Zong Zi

Happy Duanwu Jie to all.

You can read more about Zong Zi here at wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zongzi

Thaipusam 2009

Saw part of an entourage of the Thaipusam procession while having dinner in Chinatown.
I think they are on their way to Little India for the festivities.

Thaipusam

Wishing all Hindus a Happy Thaipusam.

Hundreds of people tasting and buying mooncakes.

It's an annual affair. Hundreds (or maybe thousands) of people will visit the Takashimaya Square to taste hundreds of different flavour of mooncakes on sale.



After finding the one they like, they will purchase a box or two to bring home.

From now till 14 September.
