STOCKHOLM (AFP) - Christmas is hectic for all but particularly for Santa, who must live in Kyrgyzstan and make his rounds at lightning speed if he is to deliver gifts to all the world's children on time, a Swedish consultancy has concluded.

Between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Santa Claus's route around the planet includes stops at 2.5 billion homes, assuming that children of all religions receive a present from the jolly man in the red suit, Anders Larsson of the engineering consultancy Sweco told AFP.

"We estimated that there are 48 people per square kilometer (120 per square mile) on Earth, and 20 metres (66 feet) between each home. So if Santa leaves from Kyrgyzstan and travels against the Earth's rotation he has 48 hours to deliver all the presents," he said.

Father Christmas has long been believed to reside at the North Pole, although a number of northern towns, including Finnish Rovaniemi, claim to be his true home.

But Sweco's report on Santa's most efficient route -- which takes into account factors like geographic density and the fewest detours -- shows that he wouldn't be able to make his round-the-world trip from there in time.

"He has 34 microseconds at each stop" to slide down the chimney, drop off the presents, nibble on his cookies and milk and hop back on his sleigh, Larsson said.
Santa's reindeer must travel at a speed of 5,800 kilometers (3,604 miles) per second to make the trip on time.

Another report circulating on the Internet suggested however that Santa's sleigh, weighed down with presents and travelling at supersonic speed, would encounter such massive air resistance that the entire contraption would burst into flames and be vaporised within 4.26 thousandths of a second.

Wahaha... So funny lah! Imagine you see your stanta claus in flames.. ermm.. nope is seeing your santa claus VAPOURISED...

Haha.. but I think dun go and tell small kids lah.. later spoiled their innocent thinking... then keep crying.. haha

That's all bah..

Really felt goosebumps coming out when the concert was about to start. Almost everyone was screaming when the lights went off and the screen got the SHOW concert words. Then WA LAO got 2 emcees kept saying the sponsors before the show.. spoil the atmosphere lah. Everyone was at first screaming screaming.. then after a while. just sit there and wait for the screen to rise.

Really very excited when saw Luo Zhi Xiang's feet appearing below the white screen. Can't believe I did really see his concert..

The lightings were very very fantastic. Almost blinded sia.. haha.

The funniest part was when Show at first want to invite a female up to be his 3-minute girlfriend. Then I was talking to Hui Fang "Scarly" is a guy. Then the next second I really heard him say " Huh? A guy?" WAHAHAA.. So funny.. Then somemore after he had a chat with the chosen guy in his standard broken english, he paused and said later the guy and him had to seat on a PINK LOVE SEAT, and pointed towards the back. Then just as he point, the light shone on the chair which was previously in darkness..

EVERYONE WAS laughing lah! And he laughed a few times when he was singing because he went and looked at the guy. So gan ga. 2 guys seating on a pink love seat singing love song.

Anyway, the whole concert was fabulous except for a few disappointments for me.

Hmm.. I think the different segments are not new. Which means I had saw him performed on Taipei concert. So not very exciting.

Then another thing is because all his other concerts like have some emotional segment when something about his family matters pop out. Then this one in Singapore one do not have. So quite disappointing, at least for me.

Oh ya and there was selling of his items. WAa.. sell until many stocks ran out. Everyone was like fighting to buy it. His t-shirt very nice..But cost $30 over.. So never buy. But at least got buy a $5 ying guan ban (a light stick), At least that one can take to other concerts or celebrations in the future, If wear his shirt at other ppl's concert sure get beaten up one.. HAHA

Then the route to Kallang MRT was the scariest ever route I had taken. We blindly follow some ppl (not many)whom we thought should be going to the MRT. So we were very scared and kept hesitating a lot of times whether we should gave up on following the ppl infront. Then the streets were dark sia! Luckily at the end, saw the familiar MRT station. Pheew.. Really felt so relieved.

TRIED to take a lot of pics but the whole thing came out like the stage was being bombed or something. The whole thing so bright. Haha. But I'll put some nice ones here.
