Managed to snap quite a lot of photos. Here are some 14 of them (shared more than what I did for Singapore River Hongbao 2007 which only featured 8 photos):
1. On the way to the Singapore River Hongbao 2010 venue. Like how the monks add the heavenly colors to the modern setting & buzzing construction in the background.
2. The Singapore River Hongbao 2010 also has some of the usual FUN games like "bumper car"...
3. ... and "sky rider"...
4. ... and "vortex".
5. Here's the gate to enter the venue of Singapore River Hongbao 2010. Have I not told you I arrived early?
6. This tiger statue is located near the gate. No, the gate is not named the Dragon Tiger Gate. The Bangladeshi foreign talents posing near the statue does well to enrich the multi-racial harmonious culture of Singapore.
7. There are a few statues of dragon. Here is a dragon fully made of sweets. It tastes like a sweet, but sweeter...Never mind.
8. Oh, and a dragon made of porcelains! The light in its mouth is actually that from the spot lights.
9. And of course, there is a dragon made of a lantern. Colorful! 
10. There is a stadium as well for a performance. Didn't stay for it, but the queue looks, well, impressively long & it does look organized with the staff hovering around. 
11. Oh, by the way how can I forget to feature the God of Wealth?
12. And the beautiful Peacock Princess? Not to be mistaken with Ka'iulani, though. 
13. It's a wonderful event. And safe. Evident with the strong presence of the auxiliary police officers. Irregardless of their sex.
14. Getting dark & lightful and I made a wrong decision to head back home for my overdue sleeping. Heh.You like the photos? You should give it a try. I lost a few photo-worthy moments like how a group of Indian asking a Caucasian guy a permission to take a photo with his sweet little girl who's donning a sweet red cheongsam. It will be a nice picture if I can take their photo being taken together. Oh well...some other chance, maybe.
And in the news:
