Exploring a shopping mall head to toe is actually pretty interesting~
Well I was alone and I had nothing better to do in the meantime so I tried it out haha!
So heres my crappy lousy exploring experience of the malls~ (Ok I'm seriously too free =x)
Last week's location : The Central (Located at Clarke Quay)
The Central, a mall established not long ago, has nice interior designs and the main area is brightly lighted with the wonderful view of the Singapore River. The place is not yet fully established with some shops still not opened and under renovation. But the nice thing is its swarmed with Japanese Restaurants! I absolutely ADORE Jap Cuisine~ But still abit pricey though so I had subway for lunch instead lol.. So I walked through the shopping area and realized it was really very deserted in the late afternoon. The shop tenders all seemed to be very free. Staring into blank space outside their shops, sitting by the window like some emo kid and playing psp, eyes sticking to their laptop screens, standing outside the shop and chit-chatting with the other shop tenders while leaving their shops to rot and there was even one guy dozing off infront of his shop! Must be pretty slack working there haha! Finally off to my main 'mission' for the day which was to buy Wasabi Coated Nuts(my current addiction) for myself. Oh, I had a hard time finding the POSB ATM too which actually was located in Cheers. Overall, it was a nice experience exploring The Central.
This week's location : Plaza Singapura (Located at Dhoby Ghaut)
Plaza Singapura, yes I know its already quite an old shopping mall and I've been here countless times but I never really explored it head to toe and I couldn't think of anywhere else at the moment. Started off at B2 where all the finger food and restaurants are which got my stomach grumbling but I managed to resist the temptation and proceeded on to the next level. So the next few levels were pretty boring with all the normal fashion stuffs, food, random stores. Then the store that managed to convince me to step my foot in and browsed for a long time, Best Denki (lol, yes I know its a very common store). I have no idea why but I seem to be very very attracted by widescreen LCD HD TVs. I just totally love the sleek designs and metallic black frames of the TVs. I would absolutely love to have one of these fantabulous additions to my 'presidential suite(my room =x)'. There was this ultra super wide and huge god knows how many inches Panasonic Viera LCD TV which kept my eyes sticking to it for a minute or two. It was like so huge that it can occupy 1/3 of my room and it costs $19,999SGD (=O real costly). Ok enough about TVs, so I moved on to the next level and the last thing in the mall that manage to attract me, the YAMAHA level. So went in and took a look at the pianos and the courses, well I really wanted to take up a piano course since donkey years ago, don't know when I'll get the chance to. The grand pianos were really nice but the room was not available for entry so I could only watch through the window pane. Well the grand pianos costs like 21k~41k++ so no wonder its no entry for minorities like myself. So.. anyway proceeded to the next department selling guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and miscellaneous music/instrument accessories. The guitar, keyboards, drums courses ranges like $80+ ~ $100+ per month. The guitars looked pretty awesome too and I feel like learning the drum too~ Gahh, enough of these fantasies.
Yeah so these were pretty much my experiences so far~
So what's the next mall I'm gonna explore?
I have yet to decide lol~
Damn I'm actually kinda enjoying these, it might actually become one of my new hobbies! HAHA!
