Christmas Shopping at Suntec

This is the period of time where most malls are decorated for christmas. Even the trees outside the malls are not spared. Come night, these decorations hung up at the trees would be lighted and it would be a beautiful sight.

Inside Suntec City Shopping Mall, it is beautifully decorated with glittery oranaments.



Toys Toys Toys..............this is the favourite with the kids. Time to shop for christmas presents.

Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City, Singapore

Fountain Of Wealth at Suntec City is the world's largest fountain. The fountain was constructed according to fengshui. The barbed wires around the frame with fairy lights are for christmas decorations that would be lighted up at night.

During certain periods of the day, the fountain is turned off and visitors are invited to walk around a mini fountain at the centre of the fountain's base for good luck.

Woodlands Housing Estate, Singapore

These are some of the many HDB flats where majority of Singaporeans stay in. Most of us own our own flats. They can range from one room, two rooms, three rooms, four rooms, five rooms and executive apartments. The rest stay in private housing, condominiums and landed properties.

The best thing about HDB flats are that they are located closed to schools, supermarkets, clinics, food centres, recreational facilities, MRT stations and bus interchanges.

Took this photo from the Woodlands MRT station, I like the view of the estate and especially those Palm Trees.

Pasar Malam

This is a typical Pasar Malam. Pasar means market and malam means night in malay.

In the olden times, vendors would sell their wares during the night by the roadside. But nowadays, everything is very organized, so we have this pasar malam under a huge tent, where all the different vendors would sell their goods during the day and night but the crowd would normally comes during the night where the weather is cooler. The different vendors sell all different kinds of stuff from food to clothes and household items and you can actually bargain with some of the stalls over the prices of items.

The pasar malam is not permanent and only for a period of days and then they moved to another heartland of Singapore and start all over again.
