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.


A dazzling array of lights hang above traffic greets motorists.



The stunning gold-themed decorations stand out brightly at Tangs.



People from all walks of life soaking up the Christmas spirit.



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.



Some inflatable snowglobes showing off a wintry wonderland within. Who doesn't love snowglobes?



These glowing flowers are brought to you by Hitachi, symbolizing the heart-warming spirit of the yuletide season.



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.

Our World

Merry Christmas!

May your Christmas be filled with peace, joy and laughter.

Skywatch over Merlion Park

We made a brief stop at Merlion Park after visiting Singapore Zoo. It was a gloomy evening when we arrived but fortunately, I managed to take some quick shots of the Merlion and the impressive skyline before the rain began.



A front view of the Merlion with the towering skyscrapers of the Central Business District.



The Merlion that roars. It has a lion's head with a mermaid's body and a stream of water gushing out of its mouth.



There's always a huge flock of tourists in every corner of the park with plenty of interesting photo ops for visitors. I too had a lot of fun photographing the monument in different perspectives.
