My World Tuesday-Grand Shanghai Restaurant

What do you do during your weekend? Last weekend, we decided to go for dinner at a nice restaurant where there's a live band. The food was very good and the ambience was lovely but the lightings were too dim for my poor eyes...lol. Luckily, my youngest son was with hubby and me and he help us to look at the menu in the dim lights and ordered food. Too bad my eldest son is in camp and not able to join us.

The live band played very beautiful music and the singer sang mostly old mandarin songs. Hubby and me love the songs cause were our favourite and son find it very interesting. First time for him to listen to a mandarin live band, he usually listen to english live band in pubs.

The restaurant is suitable for big gatherings for family and friends but not suitable if you like some quiet dining. The atmosphere is quite noisy.

Two short videos of the live band and the singer singing oldies. (ie. many old mandarin songs and only one english song.)

Pink Saturday-Orchids in Singapore Botanic Garden

My contribution for pink saturday must be these beautiful orchids. I saw them in th Orchids Garden in our Singapore Botanic Gardens.

I think these orchids belong to the Laeliocattleya

Here's a short video of some of my favourite orchids. There are more photos of more orchids but these are just some of my best. I use microsoft movie maker to make this short slide of my orchids and included a favourite song of mine. It is "Times of Your Life" by Paul Anka.

Skywatch Friday-Condominium above Jurong Point Shopping Mall

This will be my final post in Jurong Point Mall. Looking up in the roof, I can see the perfect shot for my skywatch photo. I think it is great they allowed natural light in from the glass roof to brighten the mall, they can save much on electricity. Great way to go green.

New condominium above the mall still under construction. Nowadays, condominium are so small and expensive.




Oh I love window displays.

Dian Xiao Er Restaurant in Jurong Point

This is the entrance of the Dian Xiao Er Restaurant in Jurong Point.

Hubby and me decided to lunch here after finding the food court, that I mentioned in earlier post, so crowded. I prefer the food court where I can ordered different dishes from different restaurants. But I am too hungry to wait for empty table at the food court, so here I am at Dian Xiao Er. No regrets... cause the food is good too and the ambience is lovely.

The decorations in this restaurant are so beautiful but the lightings are too dim for our eyes...lol .

The tables settings looked so cute. They are like individual stalls.

The restaurant looked so empty, I bet most went to the food court with more choices.

Oh I love these murals, they are so beautiful.

I wish I could draw and paint. :)

Jurong Point Shopping Mall

This is the new extension of Jurong Point Shopping Mall. It is very spacious and airy.


The very short escalators connecting the old and new malls of Jurong Point.

Ah, I like this shop. It sells all different types of remote controllers, ie. for fans, air conditioners, TV, etc. I spotted the remote controller for my air conditioner and the next time if I need to replace my spoilt remote controller, I can get them from here.
