Chinese New Year 2012: Wheelock Place, ION & Wisma
Very subtle decorations at Wheelock Place. The cardboard dragon at Muji. Fanta and F&N Orange is a must at Chinese New Year. I think it’s a particularly Singapore thing. Used to love the free flow of the fizzy drink at … Continue reading

Sparkly ION
Didn’t purchase anything from these two places. Was just standing around waiting for someone and decided to snap. The camera keeps me from being bored. It’s a great companion.

Gourmet Food & Drinks at ION’s Market Place
My cousins loves champagne so I was thinking about her when I was at the ION supermarket. Do certain things or places remind you of your loved ones? For me there are songs that trigger memories as well. I thought … Continue reading

Jams at ION
Another quiet place to escape for tea. It’s the cafe within the bookstore called Prologue (the upscale version of Popular Store). Not much in terms of service, but from the cafe, the view of Orchard Road is pretty awesome.
Wendy’s Frosty at Nex
I have always wanted to try a Frosty at Wendy’s. In the mind I always thought a Frosty was a float, but it’s just soft ice cream. I finally tried it at the Wendy’s at Nex, but my conclusion is, … Continue reading
Older Visit to Wheelock Place & ION in April
These photos are from April when I was so caught up with Election fever that I couldn’t bring myself to blog about anything else. Tell me if notice any changes since then, as Singapore evolves as such a rapid pace. … Continue reading

A Walk through Wheelock Place to Swanky ION
Now that we can’t walk through Borders, we go through the first level instead and always come across the toy store. An adorable huge kewpie doll was displayed in the window. Then on to ION. Being super lazy, I appreciate … Continue reading

Nearest Bookstore from Orchard MRT is now Prologue at ION
I guess Prologue was always nearer, but Borders was more popular. Prologue at ION, very cheekily announced a borderless sale with a huge sign where wheelock leads to ION. I found the 40% sale misleading (as most sales in Singapore … Continue reading

Singapore’s Vertigo Inducing Escalators
I am purely distracting myself right now. Posting some photos I took at ION and Wheelock Place and going to write some words that seem a bit frivolous to me after what I went through this morning. I find writing … Continue reading

Swanky Food Courts in Singapore: Food Opera at ION and Rasapura at Marina Bay Sands
Our parents would have never imagined that one day Singapore would have a swanky version of a hawker centre. Even with the several hawker centres, they are often nostalgic for the little food carts on bicycles that used to go … Continue reading

Grocery Shopping at ION
You can probably find stuff at Three Sixty Marketplace that you can’t find at other supermarkets, but it’ll cost you. My aunt came in here once and was shocked at the prices, but marvelled at the goods. Somehow products you’ve … Continue reading

Boxing Day at ION: Inside a Pretty Purple Christmas Tree
ION was not at all crowded today and just so pretty. The best part is, it was empty. I finally got to go inside the gorgeous ION Christmas Tree, which looks like frosted lily white on the outside and a … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Sophisticated Christmas at ION Orchard
The interior and exterior of other malls pale in comparison to ION. I guess the only other Mall just as sophisticated is the Mandarin Gallery but ION is many times larger and attracts a whole lot of tourists.

Halloween in Singapore Sucks
Halloween in Singapore seems to be confined to small areas of supermarkets where they sell the masks and decorations. I wish it was bigger, like what I saw in Osaka. It’s actually quite pathetic. I know it’s totally commercial and … Continue reading

Good and Bad Service in Singapore: Smiles with that Ice Cream Please
Shouldn’t ice cream come with only smiles? I think so but the servers that I encountered here don’t. This is at the ice cream outlet located just in front of the Central – Azabu Sabo Hokkaido Ice Cream. This is … Continue reading
