The Christian Festival of Lights

It was full blown christmas deco downtown.

The same white lights and towering x'mas trees (recycled every year). The new (boring) endless (boring) rows of hanging lights (sponsored by Hitachi ! The Christmassy way to advertise ! With lights ! and more lights ! ), dancing x'mas trees (by Visa) and statues of plastic-looking elves against cardboard-looking backdrops of Leaning Tower of Pisa (what's the connection between the two eh ?).


The crowd in Orchard on Monday (public holiday) was almost scary. Seas of people along the streets, clusters more at traffic junctions, and clot-fuls in the shopping centers.

The short stretch of road was so jam-packed with vehicles that I could have been cruising down the road in a rickshaw instead of riding in a car. A squeeze-free way of seeing all the street deco tho'.

All I could effectively remember was Hitachi. Hitachi. Hitachi. under those rows of lights. I guess that means Hitachi has succeeded in its brand awareness/marketing campaign.
