Interesting Xmas this year. My Malaysian friend, Alia, came over to Singapore with her family for the holidays. So they wanted to see Orchard road with its lights up, and of course, shopping. Its kinda disappointing this year. The lights and decorations weren't as great as last year. It's like totally "budget" decorations.
A friend of mine said, "The world is in recession.......... except Malaysians." I was like wtf? when he said that. But now I know why. The way my friend's parents spend on their shopping, it's scary. I mean like they're spending like there's no tomorrow or that the world is in its golden age or something. Prada, Guess, etc... you name it. But they don't look like that sort at all. Her dad's in denim jacket and jeans, which made him look like some normal Malay Uncle that lepaks in the coffee shop and her mom looks like any other fierce Malay lady. As for my friend, she dressed up like totally simple. Average Jane I might add. Interesting people.
So we walked around Orchard Road, ate at an Indonesian restaurant, watch the fountain of wealth, played with the koi fishes and more shopping.
So it was a lot of walking here and there, talking, shopping and pictures. Oh yah, pictures. Here's some of them. Kinda weird but they asked me to pose with them. >.<
The Xmas tree at Paragon
The Coca Cola Bottle Pyramid at The Hereen
The decorations inside The Hereen
The Fountain of Wealth
And the Koi Garden
