“pretty late post..  _| ̄|o  “

This post was supposed to come up some time ago but due to EOY and some stuff, this was delayed but nevertheless, better be late than never. December is pretty much the best time to go Orchard to see some “bling bling” lights and Christmas decorations. Christmas sales, promotions are everywhere as well. Been a while since I walked the entire Orchard but are a couple of nice shots I took that night.

One of my favorite shopping hideouts will be Takashimaya, with Christmas coming soon, botiques and some outlets are having some interesting in Christmas sales. and yes, Kinokuniya is one of the places I go to hunt for my artbooks. :P

Paragon has one of the nicest Christmas decorations among the malls in Orchard – perhaps it is the “high class” boutiques. The lights hanging in Paragon caught my attention hence, I decided to take a shot.

This is perhaps one the best “night shots” I had, being a newbie photographer and armed with my Canon Powershot S5 (aint a DSLR), I took some time to match the settings to make this pic look right. pretty clear aint it. Note: this pic was zoomed a little as i took it from across the road.

My next post will be covering about Science Center, been a while since I went there, quite a lot of nice changes. Great place for you to bring your kids there and have some fun. ;)
