I had always celebrated Christmas together with my family and relatives, we exchanged gift on Christmas eve, overnight party on the street, boastful throwing of fire crackers at each other which can be annoying, dangerous but fun at the same time, the noche buena and the never dying "tagay-tagay". This time it's different, I had a quite day and just pondered how fun Christmas is back home. Had I stayed at my HDB the whole day it would have meant another day wasted and not just an ordinary day wasted but Christmas day wasted. Don't mind the redundant "day wasted" thing I made it on purpose :)

Anyway, I decided to go downtown and see if there are any Christmas related activities. This is my first time spending Christmas away from home, away from my family and in a culture different from mine, so I was hoping to see something different and something spectacular. I was expecting some fireworks but what was there was something new to me, it may have rained but that didn't stop the people from doing their way of celebrating Christmas.

This is not my type of photography but there was a time when I started this photography hobby that I took every flower I saw on the street, pits, canals, or whatever-- I think every beginner went on to this stage, it's part of our experiments and our learning. Nevertheless, compiling colorful photos like these flowers never fails to amuse me. 

When I made these photos during my visit to Singapore Botanic Garden, I was thinking back in my mind that these vistas would make a good desktop wallpapers. Enjoy these colorful eye candies and if by any reason you would like to use these photos, I would be flattered but would also appreciate it better if you let me know.

I had a day tour in the famous Singapore Zoo and was fascinated by the vast collection of animals I've only seen live for the first time in my life. This experience makes me want to wish for the real thing... by real I mean see them not in their captivity.

I don't know the names of these creatures but looking at their beauty is already enough. Hope you enjoy.
