We came to Orchard Road at the end of every year to see and feel the Christmas and New Year decorations and vibes. Last year November 2017, we managed to visit Orchard Road and Christmas village and had great time over there, you may refer our 2017 memories here. This year, it is Disney theme and attracts thousands of locals and tourists visit Orchard Road just to indulge in the cute Christmas vibes. I am pretty sure that most of us have already checked out a lot of Facebook post mentioning about Orchard Road Singapore as one of the place to celebrate for Christmas as well! Don't say I not warn you thou, the crowds in Orchard Road are insane. Basically, you need to queue for all photo spots. Well, it is Christmas public holiday, can't blame it. Beat the crowd by visiting here in November, I guess it will be way better then.

We had our romantic Christmas dinner in Alley Bar, just few minutes outside of Somerset mrt station. After that, we leisurely strolled along Orchard Road and brace ourselves in the swarm of crowds to have some photo taking as memories. We had visited Christmas village outside of Ngee Ann City building as well and just like last year, the first thing that we did was to visit Santa's house! Too bad this year they not give out free Instax photo for us to bring home. Nonetheless we still had wefie with Santa using our phone. As it is Disney theme this year, there are many photo taking opportunities along the road, Mickey and Minnie definitely top the list! And I will not be ashamed to queue with family and kids just to take photo with them 😂, yeah I am 8 years old small girl 😅! Don't laugh at me please, trust me everyone was waiting their turn patiently just to take photos with Mickey and Minnie! 

There were a lot of street performances on that night and we can easily spent like 30 minutes sitting over there and kept entertained all the time. Side talk here, I had the best matcha ice cream in Tsujiri just nearby Alley Bar after dinner. Was hunger for matcha ice cream and when research online was so happy to found out the famous Tsujiri outlet is just few minutes walk away. Honestly, the matcha ice cream here was really the best that I have tried in Singapore, it was certainly on par with the good review from Internet. However, if you were to ask me which was the best one I have tried, I will not hesitate to tell you, it was in Hokkaido Japan! Yeah, still origin country has the best and most authentic flavour! Visit the Hokkaido ice cream blog here! 

Overall, it was a fun date on our Christmas day. For me, I think last year Christmas decoration with polar express train was prettier and more magnificent to view. And they gave away free Instax photo with Santa Claus. However, this year was cuter. Your choice? Why not both right? Or every year so you can compare!

We had a fun dating night at Marina Bay Sands Singapore. We visited here in conjunction with the annual event iLight festival in MBS Singapore. This programme runs from 9 March 2018 to 1 April 2018. There are a total of 22 light installations around the Marina Bay Sands area such as Art Science Museum, Helix Bridge, Merlion Park and etcetera. The light installations are created by artists from Singapore and around the world. They are energy saving light installations to remind people to be environmentally friendly and protect our Mother Earth. The event itself is meaningful and is located directly at Marina Bay Waterfront which is a tourist hotspot. So hit the place and enjoy the seabreeze for the night. For more details, refer to the map below for the light installation directory and say ready, set, go! 😁

We started from he exterior of Art Science Museum and able to catch the night display on the beautiful lotus building of the museum. We then walked on the Helix Bridge and took few shots of night view over there. Once you alight from Helix Bridge, you will reach Art Zoo inflatable fun zone for family and kids. Admission fees are required for this inflatable fun zone.

Anyone is interested to shop in Gucci building which is built on the water?

Beautiful and sparkling display on the lotus shaped Art Science Museum!

Helix Bridge as the backdrop

On top of Helix Bridge, overlooking inflatable fun zone area

Inflatable fun zone for your kids! Any unicorn lover here? I heard some voices. yeah

The best night view here, we can see Helix Bridge, Marina Bay Sands
and Art Science Museum (lotus shaped) in this angle

After we passed the Art Zoo area, we continued our walking journey and there are quite a number of light installations which are creative and certainly lit up the night. The light installation is scattered around the entire Marina Bay Sands and we ended up spent 3 hours just to view half of the light installation.

Feel like in Avatar movie. Any chance to meet Lee Kwang Soo
(Korean Runningman member) here? L.O.L 😂

And so it is called Dancing Grass

So called as Butterfly Effect, thousands of butterflies lit up the place

Light up when you hit the drum, by using certain frequencies of sounds and convert them to light.
Something like that? My science is not that good.. 😄 I just know I am pink-ish girl..

And he is blue-ish guy.. Blush.. 😚

So called Milk Bottle Cows display, which you can see
cow and kettle here.. Milk milk please 😆

The signature Singapore's Merlion becomes so colorful with flowers 
during the iLight event. Some special sight to be captured especially 
not available all the time right.

Enjoying sea breeze with this night view

The famous landmark in Singapore!

We ended our iLight tour in this display so called With Love..
Holding hands with my love and reach this place is quite romantic huh.. Yeah!

Before we reached our last stop of With Love display as the big red heart photo above, we had detoured to Victoria Theater Singapore. It looks so majestic and grand especially at night! Outside the Victoria Theater, there is one big field for you to roll around  selfie, selfie and selfie! 💛

Majestic white-washed building! Falling in love, personal opinion better than iLight display.. Haha..

Wefie wefie with our shadows at the night 💜

Wefie wefie with our real faces again and again! 😍
