Christmas Decoration at Centrepoint, Orchard Road (Part 1)
Loves shopping in Centrepoint. You can noticed a newspaper vendor in the first photo. These vendors are legal, they had permits to sell their papers there.
At night, these lights would be lighted and they are very beautiful.
The huge window display always attracted me with the beautiful clothes the mannequins wore.
Please return tomorrow to view the interior christmas decoration of centrepoint with beautiful chandeliers.

Pink Saturday-Candy House
My contribution for Pink Saturday is this colourful candy house.
Does this candy house look so yummy to you? I love the many colours of it.
The window frames looked like sweets too.
And yes the house is made of candies.
This is actually a promotion by Visa for those who paid for their purchase at T3, Changi Airport to redeem a lucky draw and a chance to get free candies in this candy house.

Skywatch - View from the plane
These photos were taken when I travelled to Melbourne. It was a night flight but because of the time difference, it was morning in Australia. When we were about halfway in our journey we could see that half the plane was in darkness while the other half was almost bright. Cool eh! We flew over the equator. :)
The sky nearer to our windows are still in darkness while the other half we could see the sun ray. It was a wonderful experience and I think most passengers did not experienced it cause they were all snoozing away.

It was so wonderful to see the clouds below us.

Car Parking
Ut oh this car park warden is issuing a parking fine to the car (behind the van) for exceeding its parking time limit.
In my part of the world, there are three modes of parking in Singapore - coupon parking, paid parking and season parking.
For coupon parking....parking coupons should be displayed on the dashboard so that car park warden can view it. You just tear tabs on the coupons to show the day, month , year and time you parked your car.
Paid parking is practised in almost all shopping centres, buildings and some public car parks. You basically pay for the time your vehicle is parked.
Season parking is usually applicable to tenants and residents at their office and residential car parks respectively.
For more information on car parking, you could view source from here.

This is the whole roast pig from the bridegroom to be given to the bride's family.
Traditions (Still being practised in Singapore)
Pig [猪] in cantonese "ju" sounds the same as [宫纱珠] "kong sa ju", the chinese legendary sign of virginity. The [宫纱珠] "kong sa ju", a red dot placed on a girl's forearm as a virgin, was said to disappear when she lost her chastity.
If the groom was satisfied that his wife was married as a virgin, a gift of roast pig complete with tail would accompany the bride's home visit. If not, the roast pig's tail or ears were broke off.
For more information on the above, you can view the source from here.

Wedding
For privacy reasons, sorry you cant see the photos of the wedding couple.
Hand bouquet of bride, I love the strand of pearls with the beautiful flowers.
Five tiers wedding cake and yes it is a dummy cake.
Champagne glasses to toast to relatives and friends. I swear the champagne tasted extra good. :)
The "His" and "Her" gift boxes to contain gift of money from well wishes. Most people would give "Hong Bao" or red packets consisting of money as gifts to the wedding couples. Sometimes people are very generous with the gifts and there are some who are rather stingy. Sometimes the gifts can covered the cost of the wedding dinner but most of the time the gifts could not covered the cost of the wedding dinner as it becoming more expensive to hold wedding dinners in hotels. Each table could cost about $700+ to $1000+ or more in grand hotels.

Pink Saturday - Wedding
My contribution for Pink Saturday are these pink flowers. Attended my husband's nephew wedding. Was a very beautiful wedding. This wedding couple in a heart shaped accessory is on top of a few tiers wedding cake.
Beautiful floral arrangement with candles on the VIP table (i.e. the wedding couple and their closed family members). My family and me had the priviledge of sitting with the wedding couple at this VIP table.
This is a pink rose too but I wondered why it appeared to be orange in colour, could be due to the lighting above it.
You can see some of the roses are pink and those roses facing me appeared orange.
This is the whole deco. piece.

Christmas Decorations from Orchard Road to Bras Basah Road
Towards the year end, our streets will be decorated with fairy lights from Tanglin Road to Orchard Road to Bras Basah Road and finally end in Raffles Link.
Last year, the theme for the decoration was Christmas in Fairyland. This year theme is Sweet Christmas in Singapore, so you can expect sweets and candy in the decorations.
This stretch of the road is Orchard Road and it was the peak hour where many office people were heading home and that explained the high volume of traffic in the above photo. Same secenario when weekend comes and people came in cars and public transport to shop...lol
Now you can compare the day and night views of the christmas decorations along the streets.
This is Bras Basah Road, which is quieter than Orchard Road and lesser tall buildings and malls.

Bak Kwa
My first attempt at making Bak Kwa, by the time you read this post, it's already been eaten by my youngest son...lol

Christmas Tree at Raffles City
Every year end, my part of the world would decorate the streets from Orchard Road to Bras Basah Road with fairy lights and christmas trees and other decorations.
Hubby and me were walking along Bras Basah Road with not many crowds and it was quite peaceful and romantic to see these fairy lights and the christmas tree twinkling away.
Ut Oh, I spotted one part of the tree not twinkling, the lights might have blown. This photo was taken on 17th November 2008. They should have been repaired by now.
Closer look at the tree and two short videos showing the tree twinkling.
Come visit me on Skywatch Friday, I will post more fairy lights decorated along the streets.
