It's very Christmassy over here

 It was such a beautiful day today I felt as if I was being wasted by sitting in clinic all day. Sigh.. of all days today had to be busy! After the last patient at 4pm, I rushed home, got changed, then took the train to city. A quick trip on the train.... it felt good. (what a loner...lol)

In the heart of Sydney, there was a huge Christmas tree. Apprently most of the decorations were recycled from last year due to the bad economy. Oh well. For me it doesn't really matter since this is the first Christmas   in Sydney! Yay!

Apparently Mr Clause has lightned the star on the top of this tree. Real.....ly...? I wonder if he had Rudolf who flew him high.

Girl Pekpek and her mummy. Gorgeous!

It just brightens the atmosphere by having a flock of cheerleaders (and two football players)!!

People relaxing at Martin Place. I'm going to do that in... 2 wks time! Woot woot

The flowers looked kinda old. I guess they have been there for a while.. Some of them had history too... look at the next photo.

One bouquet of flowers had a black and white photo attached to it... wow. It must've been one of the young soldier's relatives who has put the flowers there. I feel so sorry for Aussie and Kiwi soldiers who have given their lives on the battlefield... they weren't even fighting for their own countries!!! Geeeesh. Why did they want to do that... But at the same time I thank those who have been to Korean war. Time to time I meet those who has served at the Korean war in clinic... The conversation goes like this:

So where are you originally from?
...Oh I'm from Korea
I've been to Korea too
...Really? When was that?
When they had the war... I was there as a soldier...
....................................


I don't know what to say to that, really. Should I thank them? or show my empathy? or what? Oh I hate those moments when I don't have anything to say.... I'm just very glad that I'm a dentist. It's easy to discontinue the conversation. I just need to start drilling.........

Beautifully decorated street lamps.

There were so many people taking photos... and my lens was the best one!!! Yeah!! I offered to take a photo for a family - they were so excited because they thought I was a pro...!! I just smiled shyly and took their camera.. and "click clicked". Mmmm... the smile on their faces were priceless...!! :) Hope the photos turn out to be ok on the computer screen. Hope they do not have one of those big Apple screens. >-<



And finally, the best shot of the day has been saved for the last....
