111

Yesterday I took 111 heading back towards Alexandra bypassing Orchard at about 11:30pm. I was gazing out of the bus & saw workers hard at work putting up the Christmas decorations on trees & buildings. This morning, I took 111 again heading towards Orchard at 10:00am. Again, I saw workers hard at work with the Christmas decorations & I wonder, again.

Every year, I look forward to the lights up at Orchard Road. No matter how much I detest crowded places, I will make it a point to be there one night just to see the light up. I love the atmosphere.

Somehow, a thought just hit me this morning - I wonder what were the workers feeling or thinking while they were working hard putting up all the deco? Do they know what Christmas is? Do they know this man called Jesus, the only reason for Christmas? I wonder.
