Novena Square, 2.40 pm, Christmas Eve

I mentioned the almost total absence of Christmas decorations at a non-downtown shopping mall yesterday. It didn't look like Christmas either at Novena Square, the shopping mall near Novena church just a five-minute train ride away from the Orchard Road shopping district. The Sunday Times today reported: "Bumper sales as shoppers pack malls." But there were no crowds at this shopping mall this afternoon, maybe because of the rain. Nor was the crowd significantly bigger than usual on a Saturday at the mall I visited yesterday. Most of the shoppers must have flocked to Orchard Road.
