An Exciting December (Part 2 of 2)

Ok, the second part of our December adventure.

After eating at Wheelock Fish and Co, we went to the Botanical Gardens to take photos.

Guppy pond at the reception

Keep the fish healthy

Follow the mushroom trail

Where to now? Swan lake, of course.

We were constantly distracted by the people walking their dogs.
There were alot of Golden Retrievers around.
And yes, it was drizzling when we got there.

We were not the only ones who were sad with the the weather.

The pond was swarming with fish and tortoises.

Well, after Botanical Gardens, we went to Chinatown to have porridge for dinner. Then we proceeded to Mount Faber for more trigger happy moments.

City of Lights

The tree of life?

How many merlions are there in Singapore?

Well, after a whole day of photo-fun and crazy moments on our well used public holiday, it was back to work the next day.

I woke up and saw that there was a very nice sunrise. I took this shot half awake. Not sure if i was aiming or not. Dawn of a new day..

From Dawn to Dusk...

And the very same day when I came home, the moon was so round.

Then on Saturday it was Aileen's Christmas Dinner at her place. We had so much fun with Alvin and Vivien's Xbox 360. We really jammed out with Guitar Heroes III...
Nice shot by Jun Liang.Then on Sunday we went to church for service, but before that we watched Pam Chong and Dawn in the GKids Musical. Look at how adorable Dawn is in a uniform, hahaha....

Christmas Party at Expo. Balloooooons.....

Then on Monday (Christmas Eve), I was on my way down after work to City Hall to join Pam Chong's Christmas Caroling when I saw this saw this at Aljunied MRT.
Please blow up your heads and mine the gold in it, thank you.

And I was there too early, so I went to the Roof Terrace of Esplanade and started taking photos with the help of my mini tripod. All these were shot on my Fujifilm F31fd.

Peninsular Plaza with St. Andrew's Cathedral beside.
The "L" on the word "Plaza" is not lighted up.

The Supreme Court and Fullerton Hotel.

In hindsight, I found it extremely interesting that in the above two shots were taken before the caroling. Then after caroling, that was where we went. First to St. Andrew's Cathedral for their midnight Christmas service, then to Supreme Court to hang out and chill til late.
Interesting that my camera can see the future, hahaha...

Anyway, on Christmas Day, we had an Hougang Party at Yin Han's place.

After the party, me and Xiong met with Jo and we went to Seletar Dam to chill for a while.
Again, my Point & Shoot cam serves me well with a mini tripod.

A Hectic but interesting week I had.

Merry Christmas to you all, and a Happy New Year.
God Bless...
