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.

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

Swanky Food Courts in Singapore: Food Opera at ION and Rasapura at Marina Bay Sands

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
