There is a girl who wore her new Red Christmas shoe and found herself dancing to the rhythm of Christmas celebration. She dances through the joyous streets and crowd, spreading the season with dashes of red that represents love and joy. As Santa Claus passes by, she decides to join him on the saddle to meet the reindeers and chipmunks.She dances through the sparkling white Christmas, immersing herself in the romantic atmosphere and to show her love and appreciation to her loved ones.

Once upon a time, in a faraway town, there lived three close friends. As Christmas is just round the corner and it’s the season where it’s all about “Love”, they decided to form a group to spread the “Joy of Love” to everyone.Each of them has a role to play according to their nickname “Discover”, “Capture” and “Share”. “Discover” means to genuinely treat one another while “Capture” means to care for one another. “Share” means to learn to think for one another.

Firstly, Xenon flash rocks! My wife and I loved the pictures we took very much. The holiday season is doubly exciting when we received our newly renovated house at Compassvale. After snapping both the interior and exterior of our beautiful house, we headed down to Swenson to have a small celebration follow by a shopping spree at Marina Square. We went back to our house the next day just to take more pictures to share with our friends and relatives. Our friends were surprised that the pictures were actually taken from Nokia N82. It’s so sharp and clear. They thought I was joking. Kudos to Nokia for the Nokia N82.

It’s the joy of the seasons with seven days of Christmas with my Nokia N82. And what is the best way to spend the holidays in Singapore but to capture our various city icons in the spirit of Christmas.
(Sang to the tune of 12 days of Christmas)
On the many days of Christmas, my true love sent to me:
Dew days a- cooling
Wheels up a-spining
Paunched turtle doves
Regurgitation Spiked durian sacks
Gold floating rings!
Three summons a-waiting
Two worlds a-parallel
And a Nokia N eigh-ty-two!
Merry Christmas & a Happy new year Everyone!

Rain stands in place of snow, during the festive season of Christmas. I don’t usually celebrate this occasion; perhaps due to over-commercialization. This Christmas, however, I was invited to a friend’s house for a potluck Pre-Christmas dinner. We had tons of booze, red wine, food, cake and even “Tang-Yuan” to mark the Winter solstice. Bantering in little nonsensical yet meaningful chats, it brought the pack of us together, fostering a bond called friendship. I might not have known most of them for a very long time, but it’s warming, it’s the spirit of Christmas!

Twelve days leading to X’mas is originally a religious affair with fervent preparation and praying. But placed it in a Singapore context, it all become a rojak mix of get-to-gethers, gift exchanges and plenty of food and spirits.

Chinese New Year is certainly one of the most celebrated festivals around the world by the Chinese. Without a doubt, the best place to enjoy the atmosphere in Singapore is Chinatown.

One month before the actual day, shops in Chinatown are already selling related merchandise. These include special food such as Yu Sheng, home decoration materials and clothing.

You can expect huge crowds here and it gets more crowded towards the eve of the actual day, with people doing last minute shopping. Firecrackers and fireworks will be displayed during the countdown

Chinese New Year, or Chun Jie, which literally means ’spring festival’, is a synonymous term for the Lunar New Year in Chinese culture. The Chinese zodiac follows a twelve year cycle, each of the years being named after an animal. And this is the year of the Rat!

On Chinese New Year’s eve, many Singaporean families would get together for a reunion dinner with an abundance of delicious food.

During the season, everyone visits the homes of friends and relatives. Hongbaos – which literally means ‘red packets’, are given to children and adults who are not married.

It’s time to usher in the Year of the Rat. Equipped with the Nokia N82 to capture the excitement, whoosh to Chinatown to shop for traditional delicacies and symbolic ornaments to adorn one’s home. In the shopping frenzy, grab the refreshing herbal tea to withstand the humidity. As the cooling night approaches, bedazzle in the lanterns shining above our heads and embrace in the lively night bazaar. With all the shopping preparation, I can’t wait for the New Year to come to offer incense at the temple for a lucky year ahead.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, the western holidays are over and in come the Lunar New Year! To the Chinese, it is a time when ties are renewed through visiting family and old friends. The color red and other figurines are used as decorations to signify prosperity and “bringing in the wealth”. It is with this thought that we set out on a mission to search for the invitation card for wealth to enter our home! Where else but to place it right after you enter the main door?

A day activities can only start with a proper safety briefing for the participants. Utilizing the N82’s fantastic zooming capabilities, I catch a bird’s eye view while I abseil down the wall, with clear pictures taken way up high. Sadly, activities ceased as it started pouring heavily, but that did not dampen my photo taking spirit. The kois in the pond are not at all affected, especially with a beautiful environment surrounding their habitat. En route home, the powerful Xenon flash captures a majestic Indian temple in its full glory, with a close up of my favorite toy showing its shiny coat of fur as I’m typing this. All good memories will never be missed armed with a Nokia N82 always within my reach.
