Last Thursday, after taking pictures of the God of Wealth outside the library, I passed this tentage setup outside. Some men are doing work. Yes, I know what this is for. There are setting up a shop for selling Chinese New Year decoration. In the past, many people go to Chinatown to get the decoration. In recent years, the market has come to us.
上星期四，在图书馆外拍摄完财神爷后，看见外面设立了大帐篷。啊，我知道这是为什么。在准备卖农历新年的装饰。以前，很多人都去牛车水（新加坡唐人街）卖装饰品。近年来，很多这种市场都来到各区。
🎶Meanwhile, some music for you to enjoy as you read. This piece is part of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, particular the last of the 4 violin concertos, called Winter.
🎶让大家继续读的时候，欣赏一点音乐。这件作品是维瓦尔第的“四季”的一部分 - 4小提琴协奏曲中的第4首，名为“冬天”。

I don’t know when they completed the set up and started doing business but I saw they were doing business on Sunday but it was raining in the night and I didn’t go near. Out to meet my lady for dinner yesterday and I took a couple quick shots. Something different this year. They have some floral decorations which I didn’t see last year.
我不知道他们什么时候已经准备好可是在星期天见到他们已经做生意但是当晚上下雨所以也没走近。 昨晚出去和太太吃晚饭，快快看一下拍了几张照片。今年有些不同。 他们有一些花卉装饰，我去年没有见过。
Then there are the usual stuff including the couplets. One difference is, this shop will close a couple of day before the Chinese New Year whereas in Chinatown, they will be opened until the eve till late past midnight..
然后有过年常看到的东西，包括对联。一个不同的是，这摊将在农历新年前几天关闭，而在牛车水的将开放至前夕甚至午夜过后。
