THE Christmas lights displays in London aren’t as grand as I had imagined them to be. They pale in comparison to Singapore’s. To be honest, even Malaysia’s Christmas décor are way better.

Since arriving in UK in late October, I’d been spending the weekends in Central London shopping as well as trying to catch the Christmas lights. Sadly, there wasn’t much to shout about although you can see some Christmas lights on Oxford Street, Regent Street and Molton Street.

I didn’t even bother shooting because the weather was just too cold and I preferred tucking both my hands in my pockets. When you are right smack there on Oxford Street where people are just busy shopping it isn’t such a brilliant idea to shoot. You almost always get knocked into. You don’t really tumble over but it is annoying when people just keep bumping into you.

Well, London may not be among the 10 cities reputed to have the world’s best Christmas lights but that’s fine with me. I have often wondered when people will realize the amount of wastage in money and energy when they light up almost an entire city during the festive season. Surely there are better ways to spend all that money!

Well, Merry Christmas everyone. And this will be the last festive celebration for the year. Six more days to the New Year and then comes the first festive celebration again – in February. Ready?
