Chinese New Year Open House 2009

As usual, i went to Chowrasta market for breakfast with family. Suprisingly, the Campbell Street was closed for various functions, and after checking the internet, i knew that there will be an Open House event on the day.
The purpose of helding this event to make the coming Chinese New Year a grand and joyful one, the State Government is organising a Chinese New Year Open House at Campbell Street on 29th January 2009 from 6.30pm to 10.30pm in the company of several cultural shows, such as lion dance and chingay performance.


After my dinner near there, i with my grandfather(the most left person in the photo) walk together toward the Campbell Street. As seen, there was already a huge crowd queue up there waiting for free foods.

Surprisingly, i was stunned that a crowd of very very young audiences performing their Chingay show.

Then, i continue to walk alone. The street was well-decorated with red lanterns.

Still remember the blaze raided a row of shop lots at Campbell Street? this tragedy loss more than RM80,000 of goods and killed an old man. Thus, the committeesgroup there held this charity fund collect.

Then, i continue to walk inner of the street, the road was nearly crowded by people.
On my way back to join my family (about 9.30pm), i could still see there were many people queue up there for free foods.
That's all for today, hope more events like this will be held.
