Christmas in Office 2009

Christmas came a little earlier this year in office. As we close from 24 Dec onwards, 23 Dec became the new Christmas eve. That day, everyone was in a party mood, giving and receiving gifts from each other. My department also went out for lunch at this Japanese restaurant at Turf City that serves ala carte buffet. We had our fill then headed back to office around 3pm. By that time, most of the other departments more or less declared an 'unofficial' off work timing. People started to clear out of the office slowly and by 5pm, most have left. We're all off for a long break and will be back to work on 4 Jan 2010!

Christmas at Orchard Road 2009

We headed down to Orchard Road one of the weekday evenings before it was Christmas just to soak in the atmosphere a bit and take some photos of the decor this year. We had our little family dinner at a Hokkaido Ramen restaurant in Ion Orchard, then started our walk down. With Kendrick in toll, we didn't venture too far down actually. Ha Ha. As it was also rather crowded, we ended our photo taking around Mandarin Hotel area. This year, I would say that I only like the big Christmas tree outside ION Orchard.

These are the highlights of some of the photos we took....

The big Christmas Tree outside ION Orchard

The interesting lights inside the huge tree. The actual effect is actually very nice bright lights and when you look up, feels like you are looking at some galaxy or something!

Lots of reindeer line the streets of Orchard Road. This is just one of the shots we took
