Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Everyone.

Christmas 2008 in Orchard Road-Performances (Part 1)

My part of the world is celebrating christmas at Orchard Road. Besides Singaporean, we too have other communities from Indonesia, Korea, Japan and Philippines celebrating together too. I only managed to snap photos of the korea, Japan and Philippines cause it was on the Orchard Walkway. For the Indonesia group, they were infront of Tangs (too crowded) but you could see the photo of the Indonesia community from keropok's blog.

Choir from the local church

Korean Community - I was late for the performance, it's over..:(

Japaneses Community - Peformance over too

Philippines Community

Watch this short video of the dancers - very lovely. Wish I could record a longer video but my camera's battery is running out and I still have a lot other photos to take of christmas celebration at Orchard Road...lol

Celebrate Christmas In Singapore (CCIS) Floats 2008

Hahaha, I was lucky to catch these floats on 19th December 2008, as I was about to cross the road from Orchard MRT Station towards Wheellock Place. Was wondering why there were so many traffic policemen stopping their bikes in the middle of the road.

Although I had a close up view of the floats, I was multi tasking, taking the camera out of bag, snap the photos and trying to cross the road...lol. So some of the photos were quite blur.

These eight floats just started parading along Orchard Road and seven floats will then start touring heartlands of Singapore, stopping at various venues on different nights, to spread the christmas joy.

Now what about eighth float? Scroll down to see where the no. 8 float will be.
Sorry for a very blurred photo, we have to hurry to cross the road.



This is the number eighth float which will be parked at Plaza Singapura and will later return to Orchard Road to rejoin the other seven floats on 25th December for the Christmas Day Grand Concert.

Do hurry down to see the float at Plaza Singapura.

Details of the float can be view at CCIS website.
