Night Market in Miri

Every year, when Chinese New Year approaches, many chinese people in this town will set up booths selling a variety of decorations and food as well as having performances and fireworks. The majority of the population would come and visit these booths just to come and have a feel of Chinese New Year.

About 11pm i hung out with Darren and his brother Kelvin. We brought our gear for photoshooting; Darren: Nikon D90, Kelvin: Sony HDR-FX1000, Me using Canon 40D.


Lion dance performance.
According to cina people saying, "by touching lion dance's lion will bring you luck."
On our way home, there was a huge traffic jam. We thought it was a roadblock to catch people during this festive time.
When we drove back on the other side, we found out it was an accident.
Eye witnesses say someone was killed in the accident.

The driver of this car was drunk and his car flew over to the other lane and landed on a white car. The driver of that car died but not the drunk driver.
At the right hand corner, you can see part of the white sheet covering the dead man.
Guys, please be careful during this festive season. Edited by Sylvia.

the festival is lively.
I got the festival too in my city, but I don't really like to walk in the city at night, too crowded.

I spent the day of CNY with socializing with my relatives then go home after that, just like that every year.
