Orchard Central Shopping Mall - Roof Top Garden - Flowers

After viewing the sculptures on the 11th floor of the roof garden of Orchard Central, we climb up the stairs to the 12th floor to view more.

Not many flowers in bloom but enough to attract visitors.



Saw many aquatic plants in the small pool on the roof top.

Pink Saturday - Orchard Central - Roof Garden

If you love arts, Orchard Central is for you.

Very surprised that the roof garden is so pretty with these cute sculptures.

It looked like a giant flower growing on the roof top.

This is the favourite with my little niece. She loves dogs.


The girl sculpture looked like she has pimples on her body..lol.

For more pinky participants, please visit Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.

More photos on more sculptures on the roof top of Orchard Central coming soon in another post.

Skywatch Friday - Roof Garden of Orchard Central Shopping Mall

It is strange that whenever I shop, I never thought of going up the rooftop of the shopping mall to have a look. So this time round, I decided to visit the roof top of the mall. Orchard Central has a roof garden which is very beautiful and artistic.

Little niece taking photo of the long super escalator up the roof garden of Orchard Central.


Just follow the signs to the Roof Garden.

From the roof garden, I am able to view the surrounding buildings in Orchard Road.




Did not know there's a pool on the roof top of Orchard Point just opposite Orchard Central where I was standing.

Roof Top of Centrepoint, take note of the garden where the garden was, the word Centrepoint being landscaped.

For other sky watchers, please hop over to Skywatch blog

Please return to see more of the roof garden.

Food Court at 313 Somerset

Besides enjoying shopping and window shopping at 313 Somerset Mall, what I loved most is the food court.

It is so spacious at the food court and lots of varities of food and different food from different ethnic group.

My favourite is the malay rice from the nasi padang stall and also the nonya food from Straits Chinese Restaurant. You can view the nonya food photo in my other post in my food blog that I visited on another occasion.

The attractive part of the food court was that the lady serving drinks rode on Segway and sold cold drinks to customers.

A short video showing the lady selling drinks riding the Segway.

Chinese New Year 2010 - Huge Chinese Lantern

Today is the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. As mentioned in my earlier post, the Goddess (Nuwa) created earth with seven animals. On the second day, she created the dogs.

Therefore second day of Chinese New Year is also the Birthday of Dog. People will be extra kind to dogs in respect of the occasion.

I have not completed my rounds of visiting. Today will be visiting my family's side of siblings. We will gather at my eldest sister's house to exchange greetings, oranges and giving out of ang pows (red packets containing gifts of money) . And of course, there will be a sumptous lunch waiting for us at my eldest sister's house. She is a great cook. :)

Saw this huge lantern in Heeren Shopping Mall. It is so beautiful. A short video to show exactly how big the lantern is.

Chinese New Year 2010 - Year of the Tiger (First day of Chinese New Year)

Today is the first day of Chinese New Year. We welcome the year of the Tiger.

The first day of Chinese New Year is known as yuan dan (first morning of the new year) or yuan ri (first day).

According to Chinese legend, Nuwa, the goddess who created the earth over a seven-day period, also created different animals on specific days, which is why each of the first seven days of the New Year is also known as the birthday of a certain animal.

The first day of the new year is the birthday of chicken. Today, I must not sweep the floor cause it is considered bad luck as if to sweep away all the luck...lol.

The day begin with visiting to the oldest and most senior members of the family. I will be visiting my hubby's brother and his family. We will then have lunch at his place.

This year is very special to us cause we did not celebrate chinese new year for the past two years because my father in law and mother in law passed away, one after the other during the past two years.

Chinese New Year is a very important festival so if there is death in the family, one cannot celebrate Chinese New Year for that year. We have to mourn for one year. Therefore, it is important that we do not wear black during Chinese New Year, which is associated with death.

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.

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. :)

Santa

Another blue christmas tree.

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