Christmas atmosphere at Orchard Road....2013

This blog is supposed to go out last year but I only had time to finish part 1. Therefore, I will publish this first.

Part 1
Ho ho ho! It's the end of the year. Everyone's in festive & holiday mood. It's my family tradition to go down to orchard road to see the beautiful lightings and experience the christmas atmosphere. We took a train to Orchard Road and from there, we walked to Dhoby Ghaut station. First stop, we went to Takashimaya to buy presents for the children. My mum gave me $50 to buy presents for them. We let the children chose their own toys.

Next, we walked out of Ngee Ann City. We saw street acrobatic performance outside the building.


This photo was taken outside Mandarin Gallery. Imax gave me a very sweet smile while Isaac gave me a funny look.




My angry Ivory. She didn't like it when we neglected her. An attention seeker.



We walked towards Orchard Central direction. Some nice decorations outside the mall.

By 9 pm, Ivory had fallen asleep on her stroller. We were crossing the road over to Centrepoint.


All the cheeky Imax poses below. He loves taking photos, unlike his brother.







Christmas dinner, cakes and presents. These are the things the children look forward to. We continue our walk to Dhoby Ghaut MRT stn. We ate supper at Long John Silver before heading home.


Part 2

It's christmas eve. I'm on half day so we decided to go Orchard Road again. It was 3 pm when we reached there. We walk from Orchard MRT stn towards the Tanglin Mall direction.

Tanglin Mall was so crowded on the eve. We could see a lot of expats and their family. There was even a photo taking session with a santa claus inside the mall.

This was the christmas decorations outside Tanglin Mall.

Part 3

It's christmas. The children had been asking if they could opened their presents. I told them they could do so after dinner. My plan for christmas day was to have our own christmas feast. I had already bought ingredients to make pizza. The children were pretty excited...DIY pizza. After lunch, I went to NTUC to collect the pork knuckle and christmas log cake. At around 5 pm, we starting making our own pizzas. Ivory were too hungry so we fed her her porridge first.

Our DIY pizzas below. Imax was so greedy. He put so much ingredients on his pizza...therefore his pizza took the longest to bake.
