Chinese New Year Decorations at Bugis Junction

Bugis Junction cleverly recycled their christmas decoration (see my old christmas post) to chinese new year decorations. The music box's huge doll now dorns festive flowers and holding an upside down "FU".

Fu means good luck and by placing it upside down will cause the good fortune to literally pour out on the home, office or building in which it is placed.

Skywatch Friday - Bugis Junction

As mentioned, Bugis Junction was converted from old shophouses. A glass roof was added to connect the shophouses and the best thing was whenever it rained, shoppers wont get wet walking around the streets. The streets are now tiled beautifully. You wont noticed that it was once a street.

Part of the Intercontinental was converted from shophouses too. The taller building of the hotel was added.

Looking at the sky through the glass roof.

My grandparents used to stay in these old shophouses in another district. They too had similar windows like the above photo of the old shophouses.

Finally I made another trip to Bugis Junction. We are so spoilt with so many choices with so many shopping malls in shopping paradise Singapore...lol. It could take me months before I revisit the same mall.

Bugis Junction is originally some old shophouses but now converted to a shopping mall. You can view my older post on Bugis Junction. There are some very cozy and nice restaurants at Bugis Junction where we could eat our food and enjoyed chatting with friends or just watch the day goes by.

Bugis Junction is famous for these little kiosks which sold very cute stuffs and souvenirs.

My World Tuesday - Kids just want to have fun

Kids just wanna have fun. These kids dont mind getting wet and played in the fountain.
The fountain is located at Bugis Junction. Singapore is a shopping paradise with hundreds of shopping malls and new malls opening every now and then. So it will take a long time before I revisit the same mall. I love to vist new malls with my girlfriends and sometimes we just meet up and try the food at the new eateries at the new malls and catching up with each other.
A short video showing the kids having a great time.

I hesitated to post these photos cause they are not well taken and quite blur. But since DongHo requested for some photos of Bugis. I bravely put these blur photos in this post...lol. Give me the opportunity to tell some stories of Bugis...hehehe.

Bugis Junction is sitting on what used to be a red light district. It is often patronized by many American and British Sailors when their ships docked here. There used to be a lot of "Ah Gua" (transveittes). There's a Ah Gua show at Bugis too. And along the streets are many stalls that sold very good food. I remember going there for dinner when I need to work overtime duing my younger days, cause my office is in Middle Road near Bugis. I worked for an australian company and that was one of my best company that I ever worked for.

Now the red light district has been cleaned and what remains are the rows of shophouses (in the above photo) that been converted to be Bugis Junction. The glass roof are added as part of the renovation. Before conversion, the whole street was very noisy, crowded and dirty and there's no roof over the street so when the rain comes, it affected business. Those "Ah Gua" disappeared too but we can still spot some of them in other parts of Singapore.

There are many little kiosks selling cute gifts and souvenirs.

Please scroll down for my Label and view other photos of Bugis and also do visit the Singapore's Largest Street Shopping in Bugis for good bargains. You can view the photos in my previous post in here.

Bugis Junction is just above Bugis MRT Station. And just opposite Bugis Junction is Singapore Largest Street Shopping and also another new mall called Iluma. And if you walked through the Bugis Largest Street Shopping, you can find Waterloo Street where the famous Goddess of Mercy's Temple is located.

I hope the above information is useful to those who visit Bugis.

Children at play

It is fun watching children at play. I guess these kids are having lots of fun, playing at the fountain in front of Seiyu Departmental Store in Bugis Junction.
