Orchard Road on the first day of Chinese New Year was pretty much the same as on the second day last year (and certainly the second day this year, i.e. today), complete with cars speeding down the (relatively) deserted streets, i.e. more crowded than continental European cities on a Sunday.
Some Japanese teens didn't seem very happy, probably because they were conned by this sign outside Wisma Atria:
"Business as usual for the Chinese New Year on 26 & 27 January 09"
What Business as usual in Wisma Atria means
One of the few ice cream men selling ice cream - with a surcharge
The rare disfigured ad, on boarding outside Mandarin
And despite the 5 megapixels, autofocus and Carl Zeiss lens, my Nokia 6220 Classic is still inferior to a real camera. I should've used my real one (in my bag, but I was lazy and wanted to test my phone). Meh.
