Playing Catch Up @ Christmas

Taken outside Centrepoint

Christmas holiday is always a good time to catch up with friends and family and indulge in things we either neglected or procastinated on.

First, my family had wanted to go see the Orchard Road light-up and soak in the festive mood. So I thought great. This should be fun while I can experiment more photo-taking with my new camera.

Orchard Road was a lot more lively compared to previous years. I must say STB did a marvellous job puting the festive mood into Orchard Road this year. There were many festive show performances dotting along Orchard Road and still playing past 11 pm.

One of many street shows.

My family and I did have a wonderful time at Orchard.

Second, we saw the Singapore Garden Festival exhibition at Suntec. I didn't know gardening can be such a piece of very creative art. It was really an eye opener for my family and I. Feast your eyes on a sample of them below.










Next, we visited some friends. Christmas time was always a good time to catch up with old friends to shares stories and update each other. I was amazed at how fast my friends' kids were growing up! Maybe because I didn't see them for a while.The last time they were definitely shorter than I, but now they are all much taller! Some are even starting their O levels next year. I can still recall my time, when I was in O levels and preparing for the exams. Oh, time really flies :(.

A visit to the Ng family always bring out the good memories. We knew each other since Uni days.


Cheng Hwee and Annie are very dedicated parents. The only friend I know who school their kids at home. We were colleagues once.

Ahh. These are my childhood friends since Primary.

And these are the gen-y kids. Go figure out who the parents are!


PJ, the only eligible bachelor standing among the gang! He was our class monitor.

Lastly, I am starting to get used to my DSLR, but I know I still need to practise more on framing the shots. I will be more than happy to get tips on this.
