Christmas Decorations - Orchard Rd

Did some effects using ColourSplash - one of the apps on my iPod.







Christmas decorations are springing up all over town! Especially along the shopping area - Orchard Road. I went the day after I landed in Singapore, just before the rains drenched everything. It's the monsoon season in Singapore now.

Found this cuddly stuffed lion at the supermarket too! He was a new mascot for some chocolates. And speaking of which, I'm craving for chocolates...AGAIN. Genuine choco-holic!




And one of the jewellery shops had a music theme this year - so there were French horns, violins and everything musical! :D YAY!!



This is Orchard Road at around 10am in the morning, from the reflection of a Christmas decoration.

I used lots of reflections this time...



And these light up in different colours - all outside the Mandarin Hotel.










Christmas trees along Orchard Road. I heard that one of the trees around this area caught fire, but I don't remember which tree.




And of course, Ion Orchard had gorgeous decorations as usual. This time, they had snow globes with different decorations inside.






The massive tree outside Ion had not been fully built yet...so it wasn't open to public.

But there were lots of good pictures to take!

And yep, the use of more reflections...I can actually see myself in the reflection.







The famous Christmas tree within Takashimaya.




Decorations on the other side of the road - outside Paragon. It's been a year since the dreaded ATCL exams.




This was outside Topman/Topshop, and when I first got there, lots of people were fighting to get pictures with the tree. They finally left, though!



And of course, the use of MORE reflections! ;)




Dropped by Orchard Central straight after.



The ground floor had many stalls selling crafts, jewellery, and even food. And this was where I bought a bracelet with 5 charms - including a grand piano charm! :D Finally got a grand piano charm! And of course, we bought chocolates and I had a nice time tasting them.

The stalls look like houses in mid-winter, with snow draped all over them.




And of course...I FINALLY HAD MY HOKKIEN MEE!!!

Honestly - enduring 4 months of Hokkien Mee deprivation nearly drove me crazy! I was so glad to see the Hokkien Mee stall, that I literally bought a massive plate and finished it all.



And there'll be more Christmas decoration posts to come!
