As the sun made its way up, Singaporeans saw a myriad of beautiful colours, showing that being an early bird has its perks.

Red sunrise seen at Singapore’s coast

As seen in pictures captured by CloudSpotting Singapore Facebook group members, Singaporeans woke up to a red sunrise that resembles the colour of angbaos (red packets) and CNY decorations.

Those who stayed along Singapore’s coast were lucky to see deep red skies as the sun rose above snoozing anchored ships.

As the sun climbed further up the horizon, it illuminated the skies into a golden orange, yet another auspicious colour among those who celebrate CNY.

Beautiful sunrise to usher in an ox-picious new year

Living on such a small island, Singaporeans are lucky to be able to catch the same beautiful colours of a sunrise.

Coincidentally for this particular one, its colours are what many would consider auspicious for Chinese New Year.

If you didn’t manage to see them with your own eyes, perhaps some of you may catch the same lucky colours while prepping to visit family and friends.
