SINGAPORE CHRISTMAS IN COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Hello everybody, how are you getting on?
Weather is getting cool, please keep warm and take care yourself wherever you are.
Christmas is coming soon. I am sure you guys towns have many festival season decoration and celebration. Here let me to share with you the Christmas decoration light up in Singapore Town Centre neighbourhood area in Ang Mo Kio.
Since November end, there are many commercial plazas, shopping malls, retails set up the Christmas decoration to bring out the ambience of festival season.
Last weekend I walked to a nearest Town Centre, Ang Mo Kio, I saw there are many staffs and workers busier to set up the Christmas trees and lighting decoration at open plaza, main linkages along the retail shops and shopping malls in town centre.
Just within few days’ time, the Christmas trees and lighting set up are completed and officially light up in the open plaza.
During the peak hours (after working hours), the town centre was getting crowded. The lighting up of Christmas trees decoration with melody of Christmas music bring out the festival season ambience to the streetscape.
Currently Singapore has already achieve 87% full vaccination rate population. The economy is resume back step by step as to control the surge of Covid-19 new cases last few months around 3000 new cases daily. Good news is the latest of new cases already reduce to around 500 daily. It is a good sign means all the safety measures and guidelines to be follow up is works!
The pandemic deeply destroy the business and economy sectors. Many retail shops and business were closing down in the hard time. Government is helping the retail shops and business in rental instalment, and providing Covid-19 recovery grant to support the retail shops to go through the hard time during the economy downturn.
The town Centre in Ang Mo Kio were upgraded with many interesting art mural painting last year. Recently it is also added with Christmas trees lighting decoration which bring lots joy and fun to the market place.
The upgrading and street decoration works bring in more human traffic and attracting more residents and visitors to visit the market place and which’s benefit to the market place and business in town centre.
Compare the last few months, obviously there are more people like to hang out to the shopping malls and retails even though the daily Covid-19 new cases is around 500-700 daily in Singapore.
We were passed by a vegetarian restaurant in the mall. This was not 1st time visit to this restaurant. The food there are quite delicious with reasonable price.
I ordered vege mushroom udon soup with cost SGD6.30. The mushroom soup is very yummy and tasty. It also added some seaweed, broccoli and cherry tomatoes. It is definitely a healthy and delicious choice for my dinner.
He ordered Sambal Chili fried rice with cost SDG5.90. The Sambal chili is not very spicy and the spiciness was still acceptable. The added cucumber slide and lettuce all fresh and matching well with the fried rice.
After the dinner in the mall, we were walking around in the town centre to buy some daily stuffs. There were more crowded as many people come out to town centre after work.
There are wide choice and variety of merchandise, food, products, fruits and bakery are provided in town centre. As well as polyclinic, banking, community library, bus interchange, AMK HUB shopping mall all conveniently located in the town centre.
The simple Christmas lighting on the existing trees at the rare of the street enhancing the playground and hawker center environment.
Continued my journey, I passed by a Catholic church in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8. There were some Christmas lighting decoration in the church areas.
The peaceful sense of place for the church attracted me to stop by and made a wish. I wish the pandemic will be end this year 2022, the world back to normal, continues flourish and joyful to everybody.
Really appreciate for those who dropping by and reading my post.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022!

How wonderful Singapore looks with the addition of this Christmas joy adorning the area. Long gone are the religious only meaning to this season, leaving room for it to be celebrated either way. I think it adds a festive touch to a world that has been wreaking havoc the last few years.
I am so happy to hear that your numbers are going down! The world has lost so many businesses and devastated areas. This post, with its beauty, has lifted my soul. It is so heartwarming to see people milling about and making an effort to get back to normal. You have brought such a lovely post, sharing the beauty as you always do. Dinner is always an interesting and fun time with you. :) I have never seen your dish, but, I can assure you, if I was there, I would be tempted to order the same!
I love the concept of #MarketFriday and how our cultures differ and then again, how much they are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? these are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I had hoped that posting here will familiarize you with the world around you just a little bit more. Viewing it from a more personal level as opposed to the newsworthy level gives me a better understanding of the people and a view that is often not seen on National television.
I appreciate the amazing support given to #MarketFriday! Thank you! Your participation adds a piece to your world, and I have to say, people are interested in seeing it. This entire challenge has opened up the world to me and so many others. Thank you again for being a part of all this! I am so happy to see you here! I hope you have a fabulous day! Hive on!!
