We decided to pop by orchard road to have a feel of Christmas a week earlier... Hoping to avoid any crowd... But we were wrong, as there were lots of people enjoying and soaking into the festive mood along orchard road... But it was a yearly thing for us, and lucky the weather was still good, no rain! However, we feel the decors for this year was nothing grand... Almost all malls were giving a big gigantic Christmas tree only, no much effort were put into the decors...
WL parked his car at Orchard Central, as the decors here were better compared to the other malls, so decided to start off and end it here.
A big bell at the side entrance of Orchard Central...
My Alvan will always point and shout at the Christmas tree whenever he sees one and never hesitate to take a picture with it!! --Centerpoint--
There were alot of activities outside the Mandarin Gallery... My Adwin spotted our PM Mr Lee there!!! There was always a crowd near him, all wanting a picture of him and his wife!!!
And just before the junction of the Mandarin, there's this color the Christmas story... Ashley had a part in a small area of coloring...
Outside 313 Somerset!! And my dear WL and Ashley had a fall just for this shot!!! Lol...
We are finally back to our destination!!!! Orchard Central!!!
Inside a candy house, I think... Haha... Too crowded to realized what is this!!! Only managed to squeeze in and capture a shot with no other strangers!
We actually had an early dinner at the new Astons steak and salad restaurant at the Centerpoint... My Alvan enjoying his pasta with sweet corn!!!
Pardon my chicken steak... Forgot to take a picture of it before I enjoy it!! It was really succulent and juicy!! Very yummy!!!
My 2 kids who went crazy!!! Laughing away like nobody's business!!!
And he's the first one to clap his hand for song to be sang!! Sooo cute!!! Hahaha...
At the main entrance of OC!
We enjoyed the dinner here, as I thought they do have a variety of hot and cold salads here... And with a main course ordered, the buffet will be included. And the good thing is, their staff doesn't really check or care if you did order the buffet, everyone seems to be heading to the salad bar after ordering... And drinks are free flow for all... With even soft serve ice cream!! Nice!!
We kind of celebrated our Christmas a week earlier... As our Christmas Eve was really peaceful and simple.... Haha... Can you guess what we had for dinner??? :p
Yes... Traditional hong zhao main xIan (红曲面线) !!! Hahaha.. Funny right?? No ham no turkey but traditional Chinese food!!! Hahaha...
Anyway, we thought to have a simple dinner, as we had bought a log cake from Polar cakes a day earlier and had some Tang Yuan (汤圆), as we got no chance to have them on Dong Zhi (冬至)... Lol... A funny family.... Either do things earlier than others or later!!!! Wahahaha...
My Alvan super curious watching how WL light the candles...
All these ends our Christmas celebration for this year 2013!! Hope the new year bring us more joy and happiness and my kids grow up healthy and strong, everyone in the household be safe and healthy!!!! Cheers to 2013!!! :)
