Xmas Time in Orchard

October 20, 2006

Unofficially, Christmas started early along Orchard Road on MOnday October 16, when a quarter of Orchard Road (meaning the stretch from  Wheelock Place up to Nathan Road near Starbucks Cafe) had already been decorated with Christmas lights  and teardrop shaped and bird decors.

The teardrop shaped decorations are in red, blue and orange and the birds are silver in color. My son was wondering why it was still too early for Xmas. I told him maybe its also for Deepavali (Oct 21) and Hariraya (Oct 23) the Indian and Malay New Years respectively.

 It will be a long week end for most SIngaporeans since there are two holidays back to back this weekend.So SIngapore will be less crowded this weekend and most locals are travelling to southern Malaysia, Thailand,China,Hongkong,Macau and Japan.

We are sticking it out here since the two boys are having their final exams next  week.
