went to vivo city last night to explore.. well.. i do have to admit.. as what the advertisement claimed.. it is indeed one the BIGGEST mall in singapore that included cinemas.. fine dinning.. resturants.. cafes (starbucks.. coffee bean.. secret recipe).. retail shops (fashion).. they even have a VIVOmart.. dental clinic and a GP.. nails art saloons.. and they can even include TANGS.. haha.. must be damn freaking big.. oh ya.. they have a SKY PARK that oversees Sentosa.. i kinda like this sky park concept.. it has walkways (made of wooden planks.. i like!), ponds or pools? dunno.. people actually take off their shoes to dip their feet in it.. (i wonder if the designer has that intention in mind?).. n children being children.. WORSE.. they are engaged in water play.. haha.. impressive.. but the sky park is really BIG.. got two levels (2nd & 3rd storey).. the first level even has a kids' playground.. haha.. but seriously.. the haze was so bad last night.. that enjoying the view at the sky park was almost impossible.. Joelle and i were both trying to figure out if the old KFC used to build near the sky park (where we both mug for our 'O' levels.. like 7 - 8 years ago?).. haha.. i guess this VIVO city will shut those singaporeans who always complain that singapore doesnt have a mall as mutlipurpose and HUGE as those in Malaysia (for eg. Justco).. cheers.. =)
i have given quite a beautiful picture of VIVO city.. here comes the UGLY part.. the gang of 4 (ME, CK, Marcus & Joelle) decided to go to Food Republic for our dinner.. the place is nostalgically designed.. the theme focused on Singapore in the 60s? i dunno.. maybe even older.. like the 30s.. haha.. where people can buy 'kok kok mee' by shouting from their houses as the peddler cycles around the estate.. haha.. i got that impression.. hm.. i saw my FAVOURITE BA CHOR MEE stall there.. is used to operate at one of Marine Square's non-air food court.. i recognised the signboard that says 'Hill Street Tai Hwa".. i got so excited about eating it again.. i had been nagging at CK that i missed it alot.. and CK agreed that it was very popular and people got to queue at least half an hour to buy it.. surprising there is no one waiting in the queue today.. but something else caught CK's attention.. my gosh.. the ba chor mee now costs S$5.00.. wow.. so EXPENSIVE.. 5 bucks for noodles??? u must be kidding me.. but i really want to eat it.. so i still bought it.. n asked CK to buy apple juice for me.. hahaha.. biggest mistake.. like what Marcus said.. u pay for HEALTH.. indeed indeed.. the BLOODY small cup of apple jucie costs me S$4.00.. really daylight robbery.. and the rest were complaining abt the prices too.. Marcus went to buy drinks for the rest.. he wanted to get an extra cup of ice to share the drink with Joelle.. so he asked the uncle.. and that fellow told him to paid S$0.30 extra.. wow.. he IMMEDIATELY said "NO NEED" and walked away.. the fellow behind him was giggling away.. seriously.. i dun mind paying 10 cents for a cup of ice.. and i agreed with Marcus when he said that 20 cents is the threshold.. but 30 cents for a cup of ice.. isnt that a bit too much.. it is really like what Marcus said "Chi bu bao, you er bu si."

CK & I waiting for them to buy food.. =)
SILK
Marcus was hungry after the show.. so we drove over to cine to eat XIN WANG HONG KONG CAFE.. i am really so pissed off with their services.. pui.. there was obviously an empty booth seat.. but they REFUSED to give it to us.. saying that that section is closed.. for goodness's sake.. u are a 24 hrs cafe!! well.. directed us to sit somewhere else.. remembering the incident from my last visit (once u order.. u cant change seats.. lame!).. i didnt want to order so that i can change into a booth counter when someone leaves.. waited.. and NICE TIMING.. one table really leave less than 5 mins after we sat down.. Marcus walked over and sat down.. haha.. we followed suit.. he argued that no point waiting for the crew to serve us.. coz dunno what other excuses they might give us.. chey..
was still full but that pathetic dinner.. so ordered something light.. thick toast with peanut butter and jam.. Joelle got the MANGO ICE.. Marcus ordered his usual pork dice fried bee hoon.. haha.. to that extent.. the waitress rem his 'special' order.. haha.. the food is still okie.. but the services really SUCKS.. pathetic is still an understatement.. chatted for a while.. yes.. about POLITICS.. hm.. china.. taiwan.. north korean.. south korean.. blah.. blah blah.. good evening with my friends.. we also chatted about wedding customary.. hm.. seems that we are all the 'experts' (wo know nuts about it).. haha.. ya.. n gossiped a bit about the friends in the circle.. haha.. then happily leave for HOME! HOME SWEET HOME AT 5am.. cheers.. =)
