Singapore - Christmas at Orchard Ion

Orchard Ion uses the same concept as last year. The Christmas tree is hollow and you can walk inside it to view the brightly lighted decorations.

Celebrating 110 Years of Timeless Elegance

An icon on Scotts Road, Goodwood Park Hotel is housed in a uniquely designed building that dates back to 1900. A distinguished institution in hospitality circles, the hotel is one of the most reputable pioneers of the tourism industry. Much of her original beauty has been faithfully restored and her majestic air artfully accentuated with fluted columns, delicate woodworks, decorative plasterwork and graceful archways. Through the years, she has gained recognition for her exquisite elegance, legendary charm and tradition of excellence, with her Grand Tower gazetted a national monument in 1989. On 21 September 2010, this grand dame will celebrate her 110th anniversary. The Hotel has five distinctive restaurants, each providing an exquisite dining experience, along with a deli and a bar.

I like the Christmas lightings at Vivo City. The photos have a nice bokeh when taken with my Panasonic GF1 20mm pancake.

This is my first landscape shot with the Sigma 10-20mm mounted on the Nikon D7000. Beautiful city view from Orchard Central Sky Garden at the magical hour.

Singapore - Christmas at Takashimaya

Officially, the lightings for Orchard Road will light up on 17 Nov 2010. But this week, you can already see many Christmas decorations and Christmas Trees up at shopping malls.

The Christmas decoration theme for Takashimaya is "Christmas Bears" again! This year, it is Pink, White and Orange bears!
