Amazing Orchard Road Christmas Light Up 2023 | Singapore 

Singapore is indeed festive, charming, high tech and fast paced. I will soon plunge myself into another completely different world in 7 days time. Where there's mist and fog, mountains, valleys and streams. The land where mountains float, like the Christmas trees at Marina Bay Sands. The land of your birth ❤️

@@SingaporeCityWalks 😄 Hunan Especially Zhang jia jie is another slow living world for sure. I have never been to there actually but I know it’s one of the most scenic places in China for sure. The food there is always good as you probably already tasted the preserved smoked meat and other spicy dishes 🌶️ Chong Qing is also famous for its flavourful food and cute pandas 🐼. I am excited for you and your wife’s journey already 💜

Yes, we are blessed to live here. All races celebrate the Christmas and other festivities together ❤️

Thank you Heman. Always look forward to you nice comments 😊

Yes, thanks for your nice comment.

Thank you bro! Who appeared in my video and when will I see your video? I will be travelling in 7 days time. I might be offline again unless I have time to edit and schedule my videos in advance. I will miss the first few days of the Christmas Wonderland 😢

Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful comment. I appreciate this very much ❤️

Orchard Road is the most famous place in Singapore, so every local RU-vidr or Content Creator will be here for this light up. Thanks for watching!

President Tharman was very down to earth, stopping to greet and shake hands with people. I could sense that it was genuine, not a PR act in front of cameras. Orchard Road was very colourful and there was music at several spots along the wide pavement. The buskers were having better collections as people were in the spirit of giving. I hope the the malls will have more Christmas related activities too. I will be travelling in a week's time and will miss many Christmas launch activities by the big malls. I will miss the first few days of the biggest event... the Christmas Wonderland at Gardens by the Bay.

Thank you for watching 🙏

Thanks for your wonderful comment. The latest Christmas Eve 2023 countdown party video is here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-djjKj83rDss.htmlsi=PxXkJJ_gcEIEg-a6 Hope you will love this too.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Orchard Road is Singapore's iconic road and I look forward to film it during Christmas every year. Lot's of activities are planned this year. There will be 3 Festival Villages (there used to have only 1 previously) and a street party on Christmas Eve where the road will be closed to traffic. Besides filming, I love editing and I am glad to know that you noticed it. Thank you Yosh and Iku.

@@SingaporeCityWalks We are looking forward to watching videos filmed in China. The current regime in China seems to be quite strict in many ways. We pray for the happy days of the CM couple’s journey!🎶✨ Please take care and have a safe trip.☝️😊 Yosh and Iku

Thank you for watching my friend.

Thank you bro. (You like trains, so I think you are a guy) 😊

@@SingaporeCityWalks How did you know?

@@closedchannel499 Your channel has train and bus videos 😀

@@SingaporeCityWalks You went into my channel?

Oh the doggies! By the way, when I was in Manila, I noticed that many people go shopping in the malls and eateries with their pet dogs. I noted that the dogs had to wear diapers. Zhangjiajie is 6 days away and we have got all our winter stuff ready. Thanks for your good wishes 😊

Thank you for watching and commenting 😀

Thank you for your comment. Japan is beautiful too.

Thanks for your nice comment. I'm just back from vacation and sorry for the late reply 😀

Thank you for your comment my friend. I'm just back from vacation in China. Sorry for the late reply. Stay in touch!

You will be seeing a very different Singapore compared to 20 years ago. Old buildings are constantly pulled down and replaced by spanking new ones. if you love nature, Gardens by the Bay and Bird Paradise will be nice to visit. Welcome back!

Those are certainly on my list!! Thanks for the advice! @@SingaporeCityWalks

Thank you for watching. Stay tuned for Christmas Eve at Orchard Road video 😀

It's still early days in Singapore for Christmas activities. In December, crowds - locals and visitors, will descend on Orchard Road and the Marina Bay Area. The Christmassy ambience will come naturally then. I replaced 2 ambient sections with royalty free music as I expect this video to travel far and reach a big audience. Royalty free music is not 'free' as I have to pay for the rights to use them. The cost is affordable. My new camera handles night scenes extremely well. The bigger 1 inch sensor lets in more light making the night scenes brighter with natural colour. The brightness/contrast problem of my Pocket 2 that you mentioned before is solved. However, the focussing problem remains. Whenever a person walks close to the camera, it automatically focuses on that person, blurring the background. When that person exits the scene, the blurry background takes half a second to re-adjust. When filming scenes with people everywhere, e.g. Food Street scenes, this problem gets annoying. I hope there will be a firmware update to solve this.

My friend from Russia, Happy New Year!

Nice to know this. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching.

Singapore is whatever you think it is. Thanks for watching.
