My Weekend at Portuguese settlement in Melaka.

I love this particular weekend…i have never seen so many colourful lights in one street!!! I never seen so many beautiful Christmas deco in one neighbourhood…i have never seen so many people in front of a stranger house just to take picture and pose with the Christmas deco and yet you are welcome to do so….WOW!!!

Ah…… i wish i can move in to this settlement. :) The neighborhood is so friendly,warm and welcoming. You can really feel the SEMANGAT KEJIRANAN here….which we do not see and get to feel that anymore specially when you are living in the big city….how sad!

Anyway, it’s picture time!!

I have no idea how long did it take this family to deco the whole house..but it’s really amazing and beautifully done!!!Now that’s what i call CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!

P/s: This house was swarmed by tonnes of people..non stop!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Have a great holiday!!!

    Wahhh…so NICE!
    Itu barulah Christmas spirit. Reminds me of the program in Discovery Travel & Living, about Christmas decorations and its craziness in the Mat Salleh countries. The whole town was decorated with Christmas lights only and nothing but Christmas lights. So nice…so like funfair…but beautiful and minus the ferris wheel…:)

    Btw..my 1st time commenting here :)
