Christmas Lighting along Orchard Rd

It's really simple. We took a drive along Orchard Rd after dinner just to see the lights. As expected, it was pathetic compared to previous years. Nothing surprising as times are hard. Consumers are cutting back on their spending and retailers themselves are also bracing for a tough year ahead. How long will this downturn last is anybody's guess.

Many thanks to Eric for helping us reinstall the Office software. Now that we are back in business, it would be a good idea to do some housekeeping for my files. Besides this, I need to tidy the study as well since the new term is just about 5 weeks away.
