Dragostea Din Tei

Let me digress from my theme a bit - My colleagues were crazy over this today and i just can't resist posting this in my blog, so here we go, altogether now! (In case you're asking, it's a Romanian Song)

MA-IA-HI

MA-IA-HU
MA-IA-HO
MA-IA-HAHA

Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai

Christmas Light-up

It's Christmas season again! Carols, presents, Christmas shoppin', pretty lights - it's the season to be jolly! Sadly, this year's Christmas light-up at Orchard Road does'nt seem to be all that pretty. Sporting a classic red and green theme, it's really quite lacklustre when compared to the gold or the blue and silver themes in the past years. Moreover, having giant M&Ms wearing santa's clothes just does'nt do it for me at all.

Sigh... it's making me reminisce about the wonderful Luminiari light-up at Kobe that i saw last year. Prettiest Christmas light-up i've ever seen, i think photos can never do justice to it. There's just a certain sense of awe and... and... and magic that overcomes you when you walk under the entire stretch of the brightly-lit street, only to find yourself ending up in an enclave where you're surrounded on all sides with more of the intricately designed lightings. It really is an experience that makes my entire trip to Japan last Christmas worthwhile.

Wonder what it looks like this year- must be just as pretty, if not prettier, i'd reckon.

Luminiari at Kobe - Prettiest light-up i've seen yet

It's a long, long road

loss of words to describe its magnitude - immense?
