ViVo city @ Singapore

(Blog Update For 21st December 2007)

This will be my last update for my holiday get-away to Singapore during the festive season last december when Singapore was known as "Celebrate Christmas in the Tropics".

I have to congratulate the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and the Singaporean Government on making my trip such a great trip!!! The fun, excitement, entertainment, lightings and the dedication of each STB staffs that i met during my stay in Singapore really made a great difference. No wonder one should believe in the Zig Ziglar modus operandi where one company / organisation should spend a lot of money on training their frontliners - because these are the people who we meet first on ground. Meaning the STB staffs has undergone a very thorough training propgramme to be part of the STB family.

I would definately come back to Singapore to SHOP and HOLIDAY - not to miss all the fun and excitement in meeting up with friends over there. Be sure the next round i'm going there would be on a FLIGHT!!! Instead of a 1st class bus. Actually i don't mind...but i just want to experience the GST tax relief :P mwahhha...

After this entry is done, back to normal postings about COOL EVENTS and FUNCTIONS!!! This is the last entry of my 3 nights and 4 days trip to Singapore.

The Chicken Rice Shop - notice this familiar restaurant? Well this is not in Malaysia but nonetheless, its actually in Vivo City @ Singapore. Congrats to TCRS for making it INTERNATIONAL all the way to Singapore.

Kim Gary's outlet in Vivo City.

Ben & Jerry's Ice-Cream @ Singapore...awesome ice-cream!!!

You can really see the texture of this ice-cream...it's so nice and creamy!!!

Was in 7-11 in Vivo City...found this Starbucks Coffee drink in the freezer...!!! We don't even have this in Malaysia man!!!

I'm not sure what's the difference - but from what i can see this Swensen's here is like more of a fine dining Swensen's rather than the other ones that could be found elsewhere.

The first time i found this restaurant here...which obviously sells hotdogs. There are others that i wanted to experience such as taco bells.

bossini store...wanted to buy a few t-shirts from here as gifts but decided not to.

The rooftop of the mall...the water was abit cloudy, due to renovations being down.

Here's a quick advert for Carl's Junior!!! The burgers here are SUPERB!!!

I had my Santa Fe Fish burger, the free flow of iced tea / lemon tea is awesome!!! This is freshly brewed iced tea!!!

More specialty restaurants in this beautiful mall...

Simply gorgeous and excellent - the layout and architecture of the ViVo city!!!

Singapore: Bonjour mes amis...

(Blog Update For 20th December 2006)

It was the French Products Fair somewhere inbetween these buildings here in the CBD. Well, it was just a small one as organised by the French Chamber of Commerce if im not mistaken.

There were alot of French products on display, namely wine, champage, cheese and all. Another day in Singapore...filled with GREAT STUFFS!!! Enjoy the photos below...

This first photo has nothing to do with my Singapore TRIP. But in fact was taken at the recent BBM - Wizard's Cafe at Sg.Wang...we have a new couple in town, since Valentines Day is coming up real soon!!! Thought u may want to know who's this new couple. EHhehe...look at the hands...both oso so rough n big! aiyerr...

Bugis has a coffee place called TCC. Seatings and all reminds me of Tiffin's Bay in Starhill.

Exceptional cuisine served here at TCC.

Oh hello...one of Singapore's many telco service companies.

Selling original chocolates imported either from Australia or South Africa (those are for the cadbury ones la).

Inside Bugis Junction...the shopping complex is kinda different than any others i've been. Reminds me of Central Market here in KL, but its way too good and different.
