Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way, and soon it will be Christmas Day. The famous Christmas decorations are already being put up including 'Lights On' along Orchard Road. So many beautiful Christmas trees of different sizes are being lined up everywhere together with the awesome and colorful lightings, has turned this whole area into a "Fairyland". This year's colour theme of blue and silver, have brightened up the greetings to welcome the yuletide celebrations.
Already crowds of shoppers are showing up all over the island, lugging bags and bags of Christmas goodies from the many well decorated shops and shopping malls. Party mood is on for sure.
The influx of tourists this year, an all time high, from all over the world is very evident and coupled with the year end school holidays, makes for a very, very joyous and crowded time of revelries.
Christmas season is starting early this year, you can tell by the increase in the long queues of commuters at taxi stands, along the roadsides and around popular spots. This of course brings on, without fail, against Taxi Drivers, the inevitable 'gripes and complaints' of , "You know how long I've been waiting here or not?", "Where are all the taxis?","Why no taxis at all?" and "See, every taxi 'Busy' or with 'On Call' signs", "Changing shift", "Look lah, they won't stop at all!" and etc.
Looks like this is going to be "Huat ahh..." for us taxi drivers this year, Cheers!
