New World Park - Gate

I chanced upon this wonderful piece of history. The original gate of "The New World Park". Only those who were born before late 60s or early 70s can remember going to the park. It was a small theme park with lots of wonderful rides for kids during those times.

There were restaurants in them too and I remember my uncles and aunties had their wedding dinners in those restaurants in the park. Fond memories of those times.

I known of some world war two british soldiers love going to New World for social dance. It was a big thing back then. They would buy coupons for the girls to dance with them. You can read more about it from wikipedia.


A piece of history. There were actually three worlds during thos olden days but they have all been demolised. Doubt nowadays kids will go to these parks now with the Universal Studio in our backyard...lol. Three worlds are New World, Gay World and Great World.

You can see some old photos of the original gate of the New World Park during the olden days in here and also some of the old photos of the wonders in the New World Park in National Archives of Singapore.

Wow, I spotted the photo of the spider woman in the archive photos. When we were young we were very naive and we thought the woman is really a creature with a human head and a spider body and we were so afraid of her...lol. I cant post the photo here without their permission, so you gotta look for the spider woman in the photo in the archive website.

Sesame Street Performance

It is the long school holiday in Singapore (28th May to 26th June 2011). Lots of activities for the kids at the mall. I happen to be in City Square Mall today and saw kids queueing to take photos with the characters of Sesame Street.

I was not there when the show was on, eitherwise I would take a short video of the show.

Parents with young kids might like to take the kids to watch the show. Please take note of the timing of the performance. The show will be on from 28th May to 26th June and from tuesday to friday the show will be at 7 pm and for weekend, the shows will be 1 pm, 4 pm and 7 pm.

City Square Mall - Christmas Tree made out of recycled materials

From far the christmas tree looked beautiful but on closer look, I realised they were made from recycled materials.

Very beautiful.

City Square Mall - Christmas 2010

Christmas is fast approaching, so have you been good lately? Santa is making a list to see who is good or bad. Only those who are good... get presents from Santa. :)

These deco. in the mall are so lovely.

I like the huge Santa where his hat double up as a christmas tree. Cute.

Easy access to City Square Mall - take the MRT to Farrer Park MRT Station, the mall is just above the MRT Station.

City Square Mall - Bubble Girl

During the long school holiday in November/December, most parents would bring their kids overseas for holiday. It is a long break from school and the time where kids should really be enjoying the long holiday and just relax and being a child.

Besides going overseas, parents also like to bring kids out shopping and having fun in the mall.

Another nice place to bring the kids when shopping is City Square Mall. It is located above Farrer Park MRT Station. There are so many malls in Singapore, we are really spoilt with so many choices. I finally made a repeated visit to City Square Mall...lol.

Kids really like the bubbles made by Bubble Girl. Great activity for the kids too.

Bubble Girl with Santa and Elves - very beautiful bubble show.

Boy taking photo with bubble girl, hahaha kid are just so innocent, the boy just burst the bubble without waiting for his parents to take photo of him inside the bubble.

Bubble Girl had to put the boy's hands into his pocket to prevent him from bursting the bubble...lol.

Another new mall that open last year. It is a eco friendly mall, which means it is going green and saving energy. You can read more about it from their official website.

There are many such sculptures around the mall.

As the mall is very new, it has a prize of a car just for shopping there.
