CNY 2019

Gong xi fa cai!  Happy new year everyone!

We always have a lull in activities for Day1 of CNY.  Went to Midvalley to take photos - the girls have nice cheongsams this year so I wanted a traditional Chinese setting.

Happy new year from us

The previous night's festivities ended very late so we couldn't start the morning early.  By the time we got to Midvalley Gardens the crowd was already there and we had to wait our turn at the photo spots. Then had to quickly snap and go as others would be waiting.

Gong xi gong xi!

A table setting

Blossoms and birdcages

Simple happy one!

Overall guess the photos turned out ok.  There were spotlights placed at the photo spots which wasn't always an advantage as some areas turned out too bright and others too dark.

Popped across the bridge where the theme was Lego...

Us and Lego guy!

Managed to find some lunch (MV was packed) and headed home. Mission accomplished.

  2. Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy CNY! Ah, I see you made full use of the CNY photo booths at the Gardens Mall. The table setting photo is so nice! Lovely family portrait. All these photos can be placed in photo frames and displayed around the house.

    1. Happy happy CNY!

      The spotlights actually make it difficult to take good photos at the booths. My maid who was the photographer mentioned it or I wouldn't have noticed. Still, there were always people waiting so just quickly snapped and left.

    2. But I think without the spotlights, it may be too dark and the photos will not be nice at all.

    3. True that. Just that spotlights are too focused - can see very bright areas
