Weekend Shopping

Over the weekend, me and the missus decided to do some Christmas Shopping. Actually we started about 2 weeks ago. Finally this year I was able to start earlier. You know Christmas is coming once the radio stations start playing Christmas songs and that happen on Thursday when I heard the first Christmas song played on radio for the year. I think it was 'live aid' or 'band aid' one of those. I think my Christmas shopping this year really started early so early that in fact one department store did not have their Christmas wrappers out yet !! Anyways got most of the presents done, pratically completed all the gifts for relatives and friends. I think just a little bit more and I'm done for the year. The only hard one to get is for the missus, still debating on what to get her. The problem with presents is that normally before Christmas, we'll know what we got each other. Some how you'll figure it out. Too difficult to keep the presents a secret :) ha ha .... This weekend we went to Orchard Road and boy was it crowded. I finally got to catch some carolling, I think it was been like 9 or 10 years ago that I actually had time to watch carollers in action. Year end has always been a busy time for me but this year it's different. I guess it's a lot more relax this time round. I really enjoyed hearing the carols at Wisma. I was able to stroll down Orchard Road and catch a glimpse of the buskers in action some of them were pretty good. It's crowded as you would expect for Orchard Road. The Christmas street lights were very nice. Did not take any photos as it was hard to take a nice shot with people walking by and all that. Over at Taka they had the Seasame Street roadshow, some of the little ones were really enthusiastice about the whole thing, a little bit over the top and had to be restraint by parents and security personnel. Isetan had some M&M's workshop or something going on there. I think Tangs and Borders have nice wrapping papers if you want to get your gifts wrapped at the same time, I like their paper best. So that's the weekend, spent Shopping for gifts. Up next is the Christmas Tree and the final wrapping of presents.
