Vivo City Post Christmas Sales and Cute Christmas Decorations

And I thought I am over with posting of christmas decorations for my blog....lol. But as I was shopping at Vivo City for post christmas sales, I came across these cute christmas decorations and they are too cute not to be posted in my blog. But at the same time, I am having a great time shopping at the one year old Vivo City Shopping Mall (one of the biggest mall in Singapore) with sales like 30% to 50%, everyone are having a great time shopping.

This year the theme for christmas decorations at Vivo City are reindeers, christmas trees, angels and snowman.

In the background, you can see many shops having post christmas sales.

Canon Ball Trees

I am glad it did not rain on christmas eve. We enjoyed our BBQ that day. Well, we went to the beach for a stroll before the BBQ started and I saw this strange looking tree. Their fruits looked like coconuts but they are not. These are very tall trees and known as Canon Ball Trees or Lecythidaceae .

The flowers have a wonderful smell and can be used to scent perfumes and cosmetics

The fruits are edible and are occasionally eaten, but the smell of the white flesh discourages most people from trying them. The hard shells of the fruit are sometimes used as containers

Christmas Crowd

It is the day after christmas. Did you all start opening your presents? I did and like them all. Well, for those complaining about your christmas gifts, please think about the people who had to brave through the christmas crowd and then having to rack their brains to pick the idea gift for you.

Crowds along Orchard Road.

Colourful Whirl Of Christmas

This should be my last posting on christmas decorations for 2007 in Singapore. This colourful Carousel Horse decoration is at Chinatown Point in Singapore. It reminds me of my childhood where I would like to ride on those horses.
