Sentosa Flowers is back again! Started in 2005, this is the most celebrated flower exhibition during Chinese New Year.

Themed as “Joys of Spring”, this year’s exhibition was held along Palawan Beach which showcases the wonders of creation with thousands of tropical and spring flowers in a myriad of species presented in a natural outdoor setting. This year, I brought my Ah Yi, my Grandpa and my boyf with me to enjoy the flowers!

Story of Nuwa

A lady named Nuwa vowed to help the villagers. She collected 7 coloured stones and melted them into one giant rock to seal the broken sky. The beauty of the earth was restored and the villages were overjoyed and invited people of all nations to have a great celebration to welcome spring.

The String Garden

This special garden is presented by Tivoli Garden (Denmark). String garden (or Kokedama) means moss ball, is a type of Japanese bonsai. The plant is transferred out of its pot and into a boil of soil held together by moss and string. They are then suspended in the air creating a spectacular sight.
