Christmas Reflections

A slighter delayed post, it was on draft since before Christmas last year.



Orchard Road Christmas decoration and reflections on the glass windows.

Blessed Christmas Day!

Wishing all a very Blessed Christmas Day!



The church service I attended at 7:30am on Christmas morning.

It was a combined service, where 3 services that usually meet at 7:30am, 9:30am and 11:30am meet together at 7:30am. If you live in the Bukit Timah area and you are looking for a spiritual home, visit www.glorypresbyterian.net

Gingerbread House Shop

I was attending a wedding at Pan Pacific and saw this after the dinner!
It's a huge Gingerbread House!



Everyone was posing together with the drummer boy.




I could not resist not taking a photo of it, so here it is!



I am sure you wan to see the cookies up close!
They are cookies, but not sure if they are edible after being used to make the house.



Doesn't it look so so so delicious?

Musical Instruments Lights

A few more days to Christmas and you can see tourist and locals shopping in Singapore.

The lady on the most left looks intrigued by the horn.
The two young girls love the horn too.

The two ladies on the right, are glad to be happy after shopping.
The lady on the right must be texting her latest buy to someone or maybe updating her facebook status.



The baby sure looks happy sleeping while their parents and grandparents are happily taking photographs.



Have you done your shopping yet?

The ION Orchard Christmas Tree

The ION Orchard Christmas Tree!
About a month or so ago, I posted the tree 'planting' in progress here.



Not sure when it was completed, but everyone seems to be excited about this tree.
Like in previous years,  you get to go inside the tree and get mesmerized by lights!

Probably the only tree along Orchard Road where you can walk inside.



You listen to Christmas carols being played inside and watch the lights blink inside!
Hypnotic!

All the cone shape trees

It's only early November and the Christmas trees are all up everywhere! I was wondering how the Christmas Tree came about and read about it in Wikipedia. It does have a long history, some that I have not heard of!

We no longer have trees in our house as we can't find a reason to link it to Christmas. What has a tree got to do with the birth of Jesus Christ?

But one reason that I just read is that Martin Luther established it to use it as a symbol of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. Hmm..



About this tree, it's still in the midst of being set up. It's like snow!
I noticed it is also aligned with the other 'cone' across the road. The glass cone from Wheelock Place!

Blessed Christmas!

Wishing all of you a very Blessed Christmas!



Managed to take a photo just before the service started.
This blog will take a break till next week. ;-)

Christmas Eve Rehearsal

The last few weeks have been busy time for many of the Orchestra and Choir Members. They have been busy rehearsing for the Christmas Eve Service.



Which means I have been equally busy too. Been busy with the audio visual part of the service. Took a photo while they are rehearsing. ;-)

Big Bright Star

Yesterday was Christmas Sunday. (The Sunday just before Christmas this year).
While walking to church before 7 A.M., I saw from afar a big bright star.

A house at one the blocks behind the church I attend has put up a star. It was still not very bright so the star shine brightly. It sure caught my eye!


I thought: - I was like the shepherds who saw the star 2000 years go. - I was like the Three Wise Men who same the same star 2000 years ago. - It's just you and me seeing this star and being reminded what Christmas is all about. Have a very Blessed Christmas week to all!

Christmas Toys Shopping at Takashimaya

Mr Men and Little Miss performing on stage to shoppers at the Takashimaya Shopping Centre Basement.



After watching the show, the children will nag their parents to buy them the toys! hahaha....

Posing with Reindeers...

OK. Since I took so many photos of the chio reindeers, I must post them up. But this will be the last post about it. Too much of a good thing is bad.



You can see so many people posing with the reindeers. Just like this couple.



We saw some cheeky boys trying to look under the skirt of the reindeer. Sigh. So juvenile eh?

Meet the Chio Reindeers on Orchard Road

These could be the sexiest and prettiest reindeers you could ever see.



The locals might say these are 'chio' reindeers.



Do you think so? LOL... It's all along the sidewalks of Orchard Road.

That Christmas Tree at ION that you can see what's inside...

The newest tree of the newest mall in Orchard Road. It did not look very particularly special.



But we saw people entering the tree! See the security guard at the triangle at the bottom of the tree? That's the entrance to the inside of the tree.



Walk inside and you can enjoy a very bedazzling view!
You but get a bit dizzy though.




The sides of the trees.  Head down to take a look if you are not too busy. :-)

Christmas (Deco) comes early on Orchard Road

Can you believe it? This was taken last weekend. It was still October and the Christmas decorations are already up on Orchard Road.



What does Christmas means to you? Great year end sales? Or a religious thing for you?

Have a Blessed Christmas!

The year's almost over. A time where many count their blessings.



If you are feeling down and rejected, it's time to find out the real reason for Christmas. Talk to a friend whom you know is a Christian and find out from them why. It's the best time to ask without feeling awkward ;-)

Matthew 19:26 - Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (NIV)


Have a very Blessed Christmas!

Lights... Camera... Post..

Just passed a tiny bit of Orchard Road after having dinner with friends.



Saw the lights, took out the camera and took a picture while on a moving vehicle.

Maybe tomorrow I shall walk along Orchard Road and pick up a few presents.

Soft Toy Christmas Tree

A very unique Christmas Tree.



Here's the reason for the unique tree.
