Our World - Christmas Blooms in Singapore

This is my 2nd visit to Orchard Road, my first time there was almost two decades ago. A lot of large shopping malls have sprung up across the street and offer a combination of local stores and international brand names.

It’s really funny that it has not crossed my mind that I would be here in time to see Christmas decorations going up around the city. During my visit in late November, the entire street was decked out in blue sparking lights and elaborate Christmas decorations.

The Christmas Light-Up theme varies every year and the theme for this year's decorations is Christmas Blooms in Singapore.

Each major shopping mall has their own set of spectacular decorations to stir up the festive mood and I kept clicking my camera like crazy.

One of my favourite spots is at ION Orchard. This is my first time I've seen a Christmas tree with an observation deck. It's really amazing that people would be able to see Orchard Road's light up from a different perspective.

I couldn't recall the exact location when I took this picture but the place was all decked out in Christmas glory to get everyone in a celebratory mood.

I hope you enjoy my pictures as much as I've enjoyed taking them.

'Tis the season to be jolly.

  6. Orchard Road certainly has changed. I have stayed there in the 60's, 70's and 80's. In the early times there was great food at all the little stalls in one of the parking lots after 6p.m. - that changed after the super-expensive hotels went p with their shopping malls with international brand names.

    Times have changed and the old singapore of the 50's is long gone, even Raffles is now unrecognisable.

    Great photos, thanks.
