Shopping Kaki (Part 2 )


Shops in Wheelock Place are abit not my kind of shop, although having a large bookshop Borders within sure scored a lot of brownie points with me! Normally the reason why i go in there is to visit Borders, but having said that, i'm finding it harder to buy books cos most of it are so heavily browsed that they are no longer in mint condition.


Thomson Plaza is slightly old fashioned, with a mix of old and new, franchise and non-franchise shops. It does have lots of eating places and it is always good having more choices. However, this place is really out of the way, if you intend to take the MRT because there ain't one anywhere nearby. 


Orchard Central is a nightmare!!! At least for shoppers...This place is like a maze that you need to solve, it has hidden corners and weirdly located escalators. Once you get frustrated from trying to find your way, you take the lift right? The bad news is that different lifts serve different floors, and so you get this added stress of figuring which floor you're going and which lift you're gonna need to take and the longer waiting time for lifts....arrrggghhhh....Stay away! This place is one big stress ball...


IMM is a big shopping center which specialises in furniture and home decoration. It used to be a ghost town until one of the first Giant franchise in Singapore moved in. Subsequently, many other shops followed suit and this place is bustling with activities these days. Sometimes, my colleagues and I will hang out here after work, because it's within walking distance from Jurong East MRT station, where our bus drops us daily. It also has a big Daiso shop and a small square downstairs which sells lots of finger food.


I've only been to Bedok Point once, cos it's really far from where i lived. My friend Soon Lai brought me here, after i visited his church. It's a tiny new mall, with mostly eateries. It's pretty cosy and is a nice place to enjoy a good meal.
