Phew.. finally the Christmas Hols has started! And my, you guys should see the crowded scene in Newcastle City! Well normally, we get a lot of ppl walking on Northumberland Road (nt during hols..) and that's nothing unusual. But today was totally different - every nook and corner of Northumberland Road, being the main shopping street in Newcastle City, was filled with happy Holiday shoppers. Janey and I was awed at the scene! Oh wellz, it's the start of the holidays and it's normal for ppl esp those elementary school and secondary school students who have hidden and suppressed their shopping desire for so long to explode and satisfy their urge and splurge on the wonderful and beautiful stuff they have wished for a long time even before the Christmas month started.
It was indeed a different feel compared to when i was back in my hometown. Back in KK, sure we had carollers going from homes to homes to sing and play, however, the feeling here in Newcastle's more thorough. Here the Xmas mood and feeling's more vibrant and spread out. Christmas songs and tunes could be heard everywhere, in one way enhancing the Christmas atmosphere and in the other, making the shoppers feel more excited and of course, more motivated to buy more stuff. (hahhaha.. it's called Commercialism!!!) All in all, the mood here is more enjoyable and plus the cold weather makes it more Christmasy..hehehe...
Well that's it for now, i won't be able to update the blog for sometime. I will be leaving for Italy in 2 days!! HAHHAHAHAHA.. ITALY? shocked? yeap that's the place.. the place where Rennaisance had originated from, where Julius Ceasar built and ruled his empire i duno how many decades(or centuries ago?!)..where Flora Chan and Francis Ng kissed passionately in Triumph In the Skies....etc...
Will update when i come back....=)
