24 Hours Shopping Everywhere...

Grocery shopping that is. Tonight is the night. Once a year, the wet markets, supermarket chain, NTUC and Giant is open for 24 hours. Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve. Most stalls will be closed for Chinese New Year except for fast food resturants, hotel cafe. Chinese New Year is the only time where malls and shopping are all closed. Obviously, the majority of the shops in Singapore are run by Chinese. In Malaysia, shopping malls are open for Chinese New Year as there are plentiful Malay and Indian workers.

At the NTUC, the queue at the checkout are long and everyone has lots of items. There is a festive air. It is interesting to shop in the middle of night and see huge crowd getting ready for the new year like us.

May the Year of Golden Boar bring good luck to my readers.
