Singapore X'mas 2009 (1)

This vacation brought happiness and also tiredness in all of us. Eventhough Singapore is a small country, but the place is really a nice place to stay as the country is really CLEAN! Maybe because of the attitude and culture where Singaporean really likes the country to be clean, or because of the penalty for littering etc..? Anyhow it is really comfortable and much more cleaner than our own country, this we all have to admit that. No matter in small and not much developed area such as Little India, the place still clean and just as nice. Even you are walking during midnight time, you won't feel so afraid of people disturbing or trying to rob you (eventhough I'm not clear on the security and crime rate in the country). We went there for X'mas celebreation anyhow the funny thing is we missed the parade. They have parade around 5 pm which we are still in the mall as we expect parade should be around midnite and everyone is enjoying the few minutes towards Christmas just like the new year countdown. Since we are not able to witness the parade, thus we just continue to squeeze ourselves among the crowd that floading Orchard Road. Along the streeet around 4 km, the giant shopping complexes are just next to each other and we only manage to visit through less than half before we surrender due to foot pain. That same morning we have been to Singapore Zoo till 5pm before we get down to shopping. Everywhere is lights and decorations that seems they threw in a huge budget to beautify the country during special occasion that attract the tourists from other countries. We bump into a lot of Malaysians too..
