Its Vivo City!

Its been a long and tiring day...

Woke up early, went Mac for breakfast with sis then off to the wake together as today is the funeral day for Web's grandpa. It was a warm morning but on the way back after sending his grandpa for cremation, it rained quite heavily across the island.

We left the wake while the rain subside abit and took train from AMK to Boon Lay to start our shopping spree. Its been days since I was couped at home coz was sick so this is the only day I had chance to really go out for fun. We were lucky coz it started raining again very heavily when we were waiting for the train.

Went to Yoke Boutique 1st as I have 20% off this birthday month but there wasn't anything to buy so we only tried on a few blouses and left empty-handed. Walked around Jurong Point abit when sis got hungry when I still felt quite full. Shared a 2-piece chicken meal at KFC and left for Vivo City.

Already took leave on Thursday and thought of going Vivo City then but we were left with nowhere to go so probably will plan to head east on Thursday instead. The exit from Harbourfront mrt station was really tough as there were so many people. Even queuing to exit the gates took us almost 5 mins+, in addition to the 5 mins+ coming up from the escalator. Needless to say, it was damn packed with people at Vivo City as today's also a public holiday. Luckily the place was huge enough to accommodate so many people.

The shops at Vivo City are all damn big and spacious. Tangs even opened a 2-floor branch there with the Island cafe (but a small one). Huge clothing stores like Espirit, Adidas and GAP were well packed with people. Shortly after, I bought a white skirt from GAP and sis got a dress from Espirit. We were then feeling damn hungry and tired from all the walking and settled at the Island Cafe since its the least crowded place for dinner. Oh ya forgot to mention there's a "The Chicken Rice Shop" from Malaysia, if anyone had tried it before. So anyway, everywhere was packed with queues so we just need somewhere to rest our legs and cure our hunger. The food menu wasn't the same as the main branch at Orchard so we reluctantly ordered our food but luckily they turned out quite nice.

We continued one more round after dinner and since almost covered all the corners, we left and took train home. Probably will drop by again but not so soon coz now everyone went there as its still new. Its a good place where you can possibly find anything you want. They even have 3 different food courts - Kopitiam, Banquet and Food Republic. There are huge stores having their branches here like Toys 'R' Us, Best Denki and Challenger. There are also new shops which we never seen or heard b4, worth taking a look. The premise is damn huge but too few resting (seating) places. Such huge malls should have more seats for rest mah... like that walk until so tired still must go on... jialat...

Surprising you cannot find fast foods like Mac and KFC here. They have Burger King, Carl's Jr and Long John Silver, and one new one called SuperDog (which I din see it anywhere, read from the directory). Most important to me are the toilets, which so far still ok la but could be better. Some parts have larger toilets with more cubicles but some are damn cramp. Its still clean coz quite new and the toilet cleaners are doing their jobs so far, hopefully will be able to maintain. One good advice, walk with a pair of comfortable walking shoes and bring the guide along (can be obtained from the Info counter - which you have to be able to find it 1st!) if possible!
