Christmas Decorations 2007 at Plaza Singapura

At last, I managed to squeeze my tiny self to crowded Orchard Road to take photo of christmas decorations. Over the next few days, I would post some christmas decorations along Orchard Road. Hope to post all before christmas day.

This year the christmas decorations at Plaza Singapura comes with a christmas story. There is also an interactive Nativity Village at Plaza Singapura.









A very beautiful decorated christmas tree in front of Plaza Singapura.

Inspired by Jing from Shanghai photo of reflection shot of christmas decorations. Here is mine but it is not very well taken.

Jinrickshaw Station

The Jinrickshaw Station , built in 1903, used to be served as the registration centre for rickshaws. Jinricksha is small two-wheeled carriage pulled by men and used for transportation

Its rounded facade which follows the curve of the junction gives it a unique appearance. A domed lantern set atop the 2-storeyed building gives it a measure of dignity. Giving it a unique look were its exposed brickworks which today is painted over. (Source:http://infopedia.nlb.gov.sg/articles/SIP_485_2005-01-03.html)
This is a very nice old building even the mega-star Jackie Chan like it so much. He actually paid $11 m for it. Click here for source

Bollywood in town

Bollywood in town filming in Suntec City at the fountain of Wealth. As they are filming, I cannot use my flash but I think the 1st photo look good making the cameraman and crews looked as if they are shadow playing.

Oh, did I mention that I sometimes watch bollywood film too. I find some of them very interesting, although I do not understand their language, I watch it with the english subtitles.

Fullerton Hotel Singapore

The Fullerton Hotel Singapore is located near the mouth of the Singapore River, in the financial and business district. It was originally known as The Fullerton Building, and also as the General Post Office Building. (For more info: Fullerton Hotel History )

This must be one of the nicest underpass in Singapore. It had travellators and it is carpeted and air conditioned too. This underpass belongs to Fullerton Hotel linking the hotel with one fullerton building which houses many restaurants and shops.

Oh, I am not promoting Fullerton Hotel but was on my way to a seafood restaurant at one fullerton building to eat chilli crabs.....lol. Just thought that the building make a great photo shot.

Fullerton Hotel is easily accessible by public transport, being just a minute’s walk from the Raffles Place Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station and steps away from the bus stop. This photo is the Raffles MRT Station, I like the design of the station.

Sun among the cloudy sky

Inspired by my good texan friend's blog sun and moon posting. I captured this photo of sun this morning. It is dangerous to look at the sun with the naked eye, so I just raised my camera and take a few shots. Anyway I cant raised my head to look at the sun too (lol), woken up yesterday with a stiff neck....ouch.........

The rain had finally slowly clearing but looking at the cloudy sky trying to hide the sun, hmmmm, I guess it would rain again.

I remember I sang this song when I was young. "Rain Rain go away, little children want to play". Now I hope the rain will go away for a while cause I have lots of gathering this weekend and a BBQ on Xmas Eve.....lol
