christmas already?

THIS IS TOO FAST.

in fact, I feel left behind.

everyone is already in the mood.

you know, scheduling their christmas shopping, making gifts, planning christmas events, etc.

i think i shall do the same. * peer pressure.

I was at orchard 2 days in a row, 

and I got to experience the 'opening' of the season :D

was walking along orchard road, and ALL THE SUDDEN/

BOOM!!

the dreamy blue decorations lit up!

everyone was looking up in awe :)

at the same time, 

i notice many ppl were holding some stick thingy.

close up, it was a plastic candle-like touch. 

* oh, i realized, i posted about this ytd. ppl are getting old.

ANYWAY.

the mood just.... you know :)

that dreamy christmas feeling, where you wish you're right next to the people you love :)

it looked like this :)

i was with a few friends, and we grabbed those candles for freeeeeee :D *I like cheapo yet good stuff.

and today, was shopping for my 4 cousins.

they are under 10.

don't speak any english.

4 of them.

3 boys, and a boyish girl.

so the presents have to non-english, simple, sophisticated, cool, and affordable.

there was a huge toy selling area, 

gilarrr a lot of people @.@

look forward.

look backward.

so difficult to move ard@.@

kids running  around screaming. *grrrrrr.

anyway, it's the start of a very special season.

spend it with those special ppl.

and of course, don't forget the origins of this very special day.

it has a special meaning to it:)
