eat, drink and be merry~

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas~ How was yours? It's a normal day for us, and we went to visit my nanny, Aunty Phillip. She's my sister's nanny too. Only my bro didn't have a nanny. Wondered why...hmmm. Probably coz he was looked after by my grandma.

Then, it was a day of relaxing (which day wasn't?? Hahaa!) till dinner time. Steamboat for dinner! Feels like CNY too. All ingredients were storebought, though. Saves the hassle.

taupoks and crabsticks
mushrooms
fried beancurd skins
korean side dish: marinated squid

 I'm in-charge of the grill station. But this grill thingy looked like a toy. It can make takopachi too. But we haven't try that.

pork collars and sausages

Ended the night with a very full tummy.

eat, eaten, ate

Happy Boxing Day!~

more chrismassy sights~

And there we went, along the stretch of Orchard from Paragon leading to Somerset 313. Yea man, that's the current place to see and be seen. Apparently... haha!

So, HS and me went to get our dinner from Paragon basement, so along the way, here's what I caught on camera.


interesting sculpture


Then we ate dinner, and afterwards we passed by the M1 shop in Paragon. Long queues siah! Probably all buying iPhone? When we moved back up to the streets, it was already dark.


nice?


dazzling, with reindeers circling the tree


Then beside the lights, there's this huge Santa that'll turn slowly. In fact, it's everywhere in Ocrhard.


somehow, 'ol santa looked kinda sinister here~!


What's Orchard without the crowds. Here's an image of the people and lights.


bustling with activities on a Friday night

Finally, came to Somerset 313. The building is just like a squarish box, nothing to shout about. But there's the lights that comes and goes at its outer wall surface. Kinda interesting. It's quite cute coz the lights runs somewhat fast and yours truly was clumsily trying to capture these on camera...


no lights


with lights


Orchard Central on the outer side has far more colourful lightings.


Orchard Central

Finally, Somerset 313. Our destination for the night.


shop shop shop!

Before you enter, look up and you'll be greeted by this:



Somerset 313 has arrived!

Of course, you need to watch where you're going also. We heard a loud clink, and apparently a man has his mouth/face knocked by the glass door. It sure felt painful. Beware shoppers! Look where you're heading and if you're pushing some glass door, do it gently... There're a lot of distractions inside the shop that might make you stop and look, so try not to do so in a too abrupt manner, and the people following behind, can observe the 5 secs rule? Keep ya distance, otherwise glaring incidents might occur and tempers may fly! Preachy, I know. But safety first.

That done, HS and me did spend from like 730pm till 11pm at Somerset 313. Lots of bargains 'coz of the shops opening. Uniqlo has alot of limited offer items, and equally as many shoppers.. should look at their cashiers.. all lined up and ready to take your $$$. Kaching!!

Happy Shopping!

Saw an interesting window display inside taka (Level B1 I think).


very north-pole like atmosphere



But the most interesting part was this:

rocking bear

It did catch a few unsuspecting shoppers by surprise! Haha. Went shopping for a while, and upon chancing back the same display, this was what we saw:

rocking bear with santa hat

haha, someone outfitted the bear with a santa hat :P

After which, we adjourned to Clark Quay Central, and they have an elevated platform as a stage and a mini ice rink on it.




Ricardo and his dancers


colorful costumes










The photos were taken from this distance:


Haha, the power of zoom!

Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
