Journey in Singapore

Went over to Singapore for a business visit recently ...... Not gonna tell you about my work there ..... its just the usual boring stuff ...... its the time that i have after my work, that roaming around Orchard Road, all those interesting malls along the street (still the best place to shop in Singapore), eating at Takashimaya (those jumbo Korean sausages ..... mmmm....), and yes, the mega mooncake festival next to Takashimaya food stalls .... well there are, i think about near to 50 mooncake stall with brnads from local Singapore, Malaysia to as far as Hong Kong ....... Singaporean had a great time buying those mooncakes (and I would say in quite a large quantity !) The crowd at the stalls was CRAZY .....

As you can see, the crowd on the weekends ....... testing and buying those fabulous mooncakes.


Seems that the Mid Autumn or Mooncake Festival celebration is quite big over there ..... with human size tanglung, mega display of mooncakes at all major malls, special events etc. Went over to Clarke Quay one of the nights and discovered really interesting lanterns on display !


Great display of human size tanglung at Clarke Quay .... looks awesome at night !

Did my first trip and checked out the latest mall in Singapore, the Vivo City .... the Mall is just so so lah (still prefer shopping at Orchard Road) .... but, what I liked about the place is the whole feel of the mall's roof top ...... viewing Sentosa Island and the ambience is just a perfect place to stroll around after a heavy meal .... with pool landscape and stuffs......
View from the roof top to Sentosa Island .....


The great outdoor on the roof top of Vivo City ........

Well, work aside, i did spend some "so-call" personal time and will treat this as my holiday and time off for the time being, until i get my REAL holiday.


It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.
