huiteng and lina outing (:
eh. yesterday went to bugis with huiteng and lina. then to vivocity with huiteng. hahs
--------
so... reached clementi mrt at around 11:55. saw
shiying and huiling in their school u. apparently going to ngee ann poly. yep. then mrt-ed down to bugis as usual. at bugis mrt we saw
yingying, kaihui and jingxian. chatted with them before going off to eat. and realised that i didn't bring my cam. boo. ):
ate at
yoshinoya the salmon rice bowl set thingy w miso soup and sprite. $6.90.
逛-ed around before going to take neos. hahs!
and the sanrio machine is now
gone.so decided to try the new one . quality not that good. ):
yep. choir besties! love the music notes on the left neoprint. (:
shopped around and bought stickers. fast food/dessert ones as usual. (:
played at the kiddy arcade again. and lina won the jackpot again! lol. 115 tickets.
claimed lots of stuff. wahaha.
got a donut ice cream from yoshinoya. cos we got the yosinoyen thingy.
- weiwei. hahs. rmb your post?-
after that lina headed to her mama's shop to 打工。
so huiteng and i headed for the new
vivocity! hahs.
we were confused at the start cos they didn't really have sings to tell you what level you are on.
if you go there by mrt. you enter at b2. hahs.
not much to shop as like only around
60% of the shops were open and the
60% consist of either food or branded clothing and stuff. so yea.
everything there was like the same except much bigger and better (for some.
like the adidas shop, the crocs shop, the crystal jade. oh! and the GV cinema!
two storeys! but its loooks much smaller in real life then when i read it in the newspaper.
so yea. the first storey you have the ticketing booth, concession stand and like a seating area.
the second storey is
another seating area with
another concession stand selling these like cakes. got cheesecake, chocolate cake total 6 pcs on a very nice plate. probably for those gold class members. hahs. funny la.. imagine eating cakes instead of popcorn in a cinema.
as i was saying, not much shopping. BUT we went out on the deck and had a awesome view of the seafront. -is there such a word?-
saw a huge star cruise docked at the harbour. but didn't go there cos we were on like the second floor. took lots of cool pics using huiteng's phone. which unfortuantely. cannot upload the pics onto her com. so yea. you have to make do with descriptions.
so as advertised?? on the newspaper. the deck is shaped like a wave. and you can still smell the fresh wood. mmm...
and we realised that sentosa was like so close cos you can see the white building which is like the entrance of sentosa or something.
after taking lots of pics. went up to the third level deck. and there was like this man-made pond. actually not really a pond cos there's like nothing... just water. is there a word for this??
took pics again before heading back into the shopping centre to get away from the stifling heat and the humid air.
saw
cheyanne. (:
went out of the building again. the other side.
and saw this water fountain thingy. like bugis except that is like wave-shaped. again. and there were no little kiddies playing there.
took pics again. lol.
feeling thirsty, we went to the foodcourt at b3
this foodjunction/the banquet thingy.
the drink stall was like wierd. cause the 1st counter for cold drinks. and a 2nd counter for like teh or kopi or milo. so there was this uber long queue at the 2nd counter and like almost no queue at the 1st. oredered my bandung before pei-ing huiteng to get her ice milo.
service was slow but can't blame them bah. cos after all its newly opened.
no trays either. which is ok if you are like ordering only one drink. but the person in front of us ordered 6 i think. so luckily her friend was there to help her. then there was this man in front of us who was so demanding that he probably made the staff more nervous... and to think we want good service when we oursleves are't showing basic manners/courtesy? hmmm...
after finishing our drink. huiteng bought her 炒果条 ( the 果 should have a 米 on the left，but can't seem to find it. lol.) and we headed home. the east west line mrt so crowded so we walked to the end and managed to get some seats to rest our tired legs. hahs. said bye to huiteng at clementi mrt while she had to head to bukit gombak or batok.
my verdict on vivocity. the newly opened only 60% of the shops open, with lots of constuction going on one. this is NOT a verdict on the actual vivocity. so yea.
shopping 5/10 . if only minitoons and action city had already opened.
scenery 8.5/10 (: just for the seaview alone
ambience/design- 7.5/10 lots of nice structures like the snowman. (:
service 6/10 because of the foodcourt experience. but i bet they'll improve.
atmosphere- 7/10 because it wasn't too crowded yet. and nice and quiet out on the deck.
layout- 7/10 not as confusing as suntec city. minused points for not showing the level clearly but added points for having directorys near the escalators. hahs.
overall. 6.8/10of course it will improve by 1st decmeber. its official opening. so make sure you go there! not really for the shopping. but the awesome seaview out on the deck! (:
