28 Dec 2009 (Mon): I can't help feeling that I've accomplished little this year or, have I been too ambitious? I feel that there've not been many activities - both academic and economic. I wonder if it's due to the prevailing mood of recession in the world? But Singapore is out of the gloom, technically speaking. There's no feeling of a glut here.
For instance the Orchard Road decor forebodes an excellent 2010 - or has it just been my hope? I find the decor this year more intricate, and more colorful than last year's - but not all might agree.
There is, as usual, no lack of carefully dressed-up Christmas trees,

of varied characters as well:
Goodwood Park Hotel's main entrance

Scotts Road is also a buzz:
It's glittering within ten metres above us - all around - and not just inside a building:

Something 'festive' peeks at you from the least conspicuous corners:
And at the Scotts-Orchard Road junction (see below):
Outside a building (see Tangs below):
At a side entrance (Goodwood Park Hotel):
We have all forgotten how last year's (2008) looked like. I didn't recall it being fancier, except for the golden-framed slide on the stories of Christmas outside Tangs...or was that the year before last?
Outside Raffles City last year (2008):
