I just got back from a short trip to Singapore. What I noticed is that the Christmas mood is just everywhere. Fancy lighting, sales, giveaways, Christmas related competition and events, Christmas decorations. Wow!! But guess what, its like this regardless of the type of festival that is being celebrated since Singapore is multi-racial country that is 'democratic'. They have to treat every type of people equally and have to celebrate all the different type of festive seasons.
This I remember, is what I am always thankful for whilst still studying in Singapore. This meant that I get lots of public holidays. No student complains about getting an extra day off school. Never. But more importantly, it also really meant that I get to learn about other's culture and 'celebrate' with them too.
Anyways, just want to wish everyone a very merry christmas and a happy new year.
love,
kathleen
