Yesterday I made my first trip to Geylang Serai in like almost 20 years. It was really amazing to see a different kind of bazaar/carnival (as compared to the ones in Chinatown and Gardens by The Bay). My main purpose for the trip was actually to snap a cover photo for my company's newsletter, the secondary purpose would be to satisfy my curiosity on Hari Raya Aidil Fitri lighting. Lastly, to try the hipster bazaar delicacies.
So I went with Lincoln to Paya Lebar MRT station where we met my wife and together, we took a 7 minute walk to the bazaar area near Tanjong Katong Complex.
Some food stalls were still closed and would re-open nearer to break fast time at approximately 7 pm local time. Other stalls were already open possibly as they need some time for preparation and also to serve the non-Muslim crowds who are there to experience the fun.
So while waiting for the blue hour, we went around playing some games and trying the food. Before we chomped down on any of the food, we tried our luck playing some carnival games.

Notice the cleared row on the left next to the bad piggy? I cleared that row first and passed the toy gun back to Lincoln for him to just have some fun shooting. We got a small prize from this game.
