Orchard Road Christmas Light Up 2017


The festive season here in Singapore has kicked off as the annual Christmas Light Up on Orchard Road was held last Saturday. The president officiated the light up ceremony, just like in previous years. The whole stretch of Orchard Road beginning from Tanglin Mall all the way down to Plaza Singapura will be covered with icy white tree shaped lights reflecting this year’s theme Endless Wonders. What is special this year is that the lights will be turned on as early as three in the afternoon, as the organizers wants shoppers and visitors to have a different experience.

Fashion Night Out 2014 at Orchard Road Singapore




Last night, part of Orchard Road was transformed into a fashion runway for the annual Fashion Steps Out. There were close to 150 models who walked from Ion Orchard to Paragon Mall donning the designs of local fashion brands. 

I took this opportunity to do my photo shoot, Its been a while that I haven't touch my dslr. I was not happy with the result I took but at least I got to use my camera.


I got no fashion knowledge so my favorite was the beach wear collection lol.

Orchard Road Christmas Light Up 2012


The popular shopping district of Singapore has full of lights and christmas decors  as the annual lighting ceremony was officially held last Saturday 17 November 2012. As in previous years, the Singapore president launched the event. This year's theme is Christmas on a Great Street, with motifs of trees, heart, and doves as the major decors along the 2.2 kilometers stretch of Orchard.

It was raining hard prior to the ceremony so the turn out of people during that night was not as huge as last year. The street lights will last until 6 January 2013. There will be a nightly live musical shows beginning 17 December until Christmas day along the walkway of Orchard Road.

If you are in Singapore or planning to visit the country, spend a night in Orchard Road and be dazzled and experience  the magic brought by the holiday season.

Enjoy!

Fashion Steps Out at Orchard Road


Over a hundred fashion models literally steps out onto Orchard Road last Saturday night. The stretch of Orchard Road from Ion Orchard to Paragon Mall were turned into a fashion runway as models strut down the road. Seeing these models walk on the road instead of the usual catwalk is refreshing and I believe is the first time that a busy road has been closed and used as a fashion runway.

 The Christmas season in Singapore  is officially on. Last saturday the annual Orchard road Christmas Light Up ceremony was held in front of Takashimaya Shopping Mall along the Orchard Road. No less than the president of Singapore graced this annual event. This year theme is "Christmas Blooms in Singapore" where the whole stretch of the famous road is adorned with glittering silver and blue lights. Flowers of blue colored heart-shape petals hanged on the trees transforming the shopping strip into a wonderland garden.

Red Bull Street Speed Singapore


The Orchard Road became a play ground of former Formula One driver David Coulthard last sunday!  Part of Orchard Road was closed to traffic and shoppers-by and spectators were treated to high pumping  stunts, as the former Red Bull F1 driver  raced the Renault Red Bull F1 race car for an hour along Orchard Road. He also performed burnouts, engine brakes, short sprints, and donuts stunts.

I was stationed far from the action and was frustrated not to be able to take close up shots. Even my panning shots were lousy. But at least I enjoyed the show which is more important heheh. I realized that I have never touched my camera for quite sometime now. 

This is how I spent Easter Sunday. 

A Wet Christmas 2010 in Orchard Road


The Christmas day celebration along Orchard Road was a wet one. It rained heavily when the show was about to begin. But as soon as the rain stopped, the show pushed through. Orchard Road was closed to traffic just like in previous years to give way for the celebration. Beautifully-decorated Christmas floats parked along the road and revelers had a grand time taking pictures.
