MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

I am ending this year with this post on Christmas. I am going for a short christmas break (but will still be in a corner of Singapore). I am not sure if I can get hold of the internet and comments posted might take a while to be published and approved once I get hold of a computer.

So here's wishing all my readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and may 2010 be a better year for all of us.

This is my favourite window display in Orchard Road. It belongs to Robinson at Centrepoint. I love shopping at Robinson cause they have a lot of varities and sales all year round. And the best part was their staffs are very friendly and knows their products well.

This year the tour bus for christmas is not free and I think tourists need to pay a fee. You can get tickets for the bus at the Visitor Centre in Orchard Road.

Orchard Central Mall is so beautiful at night and it seems to be dancing. I spend quite sometime looking at the beautiful building and listening to the music coming from it. The feeling on the street is just great.

Two short videos on the lights at Orchard Central Shopping Mall.

See you all in 2010.

Christmas at Vivo City

Guess who is this tall man? He is looking at the going to be open Universal Studio, Singapore on Sentosa Island. Is he looking forward to the theme park as much as I am?

He is none other than Mr. Snowman. :)

Christmas Tree on the roof top of Vivo City.

Hubby gave me the idea of taking the photo of the tree with the reflection in the small waving pool. The pool is not deep, they are for kids running and playing in them.

My World Tuesday-Snowman Carousel

This is the other part of Orchard Road where the lightings are different from the photos I posted last week. The theme over here are snowmen.

Looking up above me, are these beautiful lights hung up in the tree.

Oh I love this photo, the reflection in the water (caused by an earlier rain) looked like there are two carousels.

A short video showing the surroundings. Can you recognize ION Orchard diagonally from where I am standing. I posted a lot of photos on ION Orchard in my blog, so I guess you are all very familar with it already. :)

Another blue christmas tree.

I hope Santa will give me a present of good health and happiness for my family. :)

A short video showing all the avid photographers around me.

Blue Christmas Tree

Saw this very beautiful blue christmas tree in front of a shopping mall in Orchard Road.

Skywatch Friday - Christmas Decoration along Orchard Road, Singapore

Orchard Road is all decked out in all these beautiful christmas lights and decorations. It is so beautiful. This year the lights were lighted very early ....as early as in November because of the APEC meeting in Singapore in mid November. It was to impress the foreign dignitaries and guests from overseas. I took these photos last month which was not so crowded. But this week onwards, Orchard Road is jam packed with human and traffic.

Different segments of Orchard Road are lighted with different colours.

Hahaha, I took the above photo while crossing the road. I just stop in the middle of the road and snapped the above photo.

Christmas Tree in Takashimaya

Saw this huge and beautiful christmas tree in Takashimaya Shopping Centre. Christmas mood is here already, have you done your christmas shopping?

Orchard Road

As hubby and me were walking along Orchard Road, we were attracted by these men wearing red costumes lining up these little lights on the floor. I think it was for some kind of marker for mass dancing during Christmas.

A short video showing the men at work.

My World Tuesday - Christmas Decoration Along Orchard Road

This year, the christmas decorations along Orchard Road are so cute and beautiful. I love these reindeer mascots. They are so pretty and sexy.

Christmas Decoration at Wisma Atria

Saw these beautiful christmas decoration inside Wisma Atria. I love the gold effect of it.

The huge bird cage is really a hit with photographers.

You have to look at the end of the video to take a close look at the strange Santa with black beard...lol

Skywatch Friday - Christmas Tree at ION Orchard

Saw this huge and beautiful christmas tree at Ion Orchard.



Can you see me in the reflection? No, cause I hid at the side and just took the photo from the side angle...hahaha.

We could actually walked inside the tree.

Looking up above inside the tree, there are many lights decorated it.

Everyone busy taking photos of the tree.


A short video showing everyone straining their neck to look up...lol

Oh I love this christmas decoration at Compass Point. It had a homely theme.

Christmas at Changi Airport

Finally I am back to Singapore from Cambodia. Will try to load some photos in my travel blog, once I sorted them out.

It is christmas at Changi Airport. Took these photos at Terminal 2 of Changi Airport.

I am trying to have more rest from a tired but happy trip and then I will be having a christmas break at some chalets in a corner of Singapore in two weeks time... :)

Resort World/Universal Studio Singapore (Under Construction)

I hope these videos can keep you company while I am away on vaccation. :)

Below photo taken from Vivo City. The uncompleted Resort World viewed from Vivo City.

Took the following videos from the monorail train.

These short videos are the still uncompleted Resort World and Universal Studio Singapore. They will be open next year and I am looking foward to it.

I took these videos when I visited Sentosa last week. I have more photos of Sentosa but will post only after I come back from my vaccation.

Going for a holiday

A much needed break. I am going for a very short trip out of Singapore.

Guess where I am going? Will tell you the answer when I return.

Boat Prize

This luxury sport boat is so beautiful but I could only see it and wont be able to win it...lol. I dont always win any big prizes except for consolation prizes...hahaha. The most expensive prize I won was a $200+ handbag by a female magazine.

The boat is a prize organized by American Express. You can view more information from their website.

Wedding Dinner - Yummy

The wedding was followed by a dinner in the night.

Wedding cake

VIP Table where the bridal couple sit with their parents and relatives.

Oh I love these beautiful flowers

The gift box was used to collect ang pows (wedding gifts of money in red packets) given by family, relatives and friends.

A very chinese wedding dinner with the suckling pig as the main attraction.

The pig is about to be naked...lol

We ate the skin with the mini pancakes and the meat were used to cook another dish.
These are the remainder of the roast pig being cooked with other ingredients and we ate it by wrapping them in the cabbage leaves.
