Tried to soak in the X'mas mood with WY earlier by strolling along Orchard Road. The crowd was aplenty but not as many appreciated the light-up. They were busy walking, chatting, laughing or simply sitting at the benches puffing their life away..
I must say that this year's lighting is pretty much a let down.. especially compared to previous years.
Shopping malls surprisingly were not packed with shoppers. And if there were people carrying their shopping bags, they were not a lot for sure.
Strangely, the festive mood seemed to be missing... Is it due to the fact that the celebration has become overly commercialised or simply.. I have viewed the celebration differently?
Hmm....I guess X'mas has slowly become a time of quiet reflection and appreciation of little blessings despite of all the disappointments, loss and pains. And really, both WY and I believe that a simple, peaceful, and meaningful life is enough. It is all about giving, loving and be contented.
May all be blessed with good health and joy!
