Visit to cheena town

Me and Hairol

Few days back, me and Hairol visited Chinatown. It’s a must on everyone’s to do list as it’s an annual once a year only kind of affair. The same goes with other holidays. Once there, as usual, you’ve to jostle with the crowds.

But it was all orderly and I might say the security is pretty tight. Being a former policeboy, I can easily spot non-uniform police officers in plain clothes and I did saw few of my police friends there in-fact.

There’s a stark contrast between the bazaar at Chinatown vs bazzar at Geylang during Hari Raya. For one, there’s not plenty of stalls selling road-side food. Other than bakua and sweet goodies, there’s nothing ‘halal’ I can buy to nibble.

Anyway we had a good stroll around Chinatown before we watched “Epic Movie” at Cineleisure. Word of advise, do not see it! What a crapper! Here’s are the photos below.
