NEX Shopping Mall at Serangoon Central

The weekend is here and a favourite past time of Singaporean is to head to the mall to do some shopping or window shopping and to stock up on groceries for the home.

Nex shopping mall just open on 25th November 2010. It is just the soft opening and I think the official opening is in March next year. The mall is very spacious and have many shops and restaurants and a cinema. Most of the shops are open and the cinema just open few days ago.
It attracted about 70,000 people daily.

The mall has about four storey and two basement of shops and restaurants.

I like this mall because I can find everything under one roof. The best is yet to come. The roof top of the mall consists of a dog park, children playground and a library but they are not open to the public yet.

You can access this mall by taking the MRT and alight at the Serangoon MRT Station via the North East Line or Circle Line. The mall is just above the MRT station.

Skywatch Friday - Singapore zoo - Fragile Forest

This is fragile forest in the Singapore Zoo. What I like best about the fragile forest was that we were up so close to these animals.

Not sure what you called this bird but it was just beside us and apparently the bird was trying to built a nest and it was collecting some dead leaf. Very interesting to see the bird so close to us.

A short video showing the bird.


A flying fox just right in front of us eating some fruits.

There were many flying foxes around us and many beautiful and different types of birds flying around us. I felt like we are in an enchanted forest. Very beautiful.

My World Tuesday - Singapore Zoo - Cheetah

Still posting about my visit to the Singapore Zoo. Son and me had a great time at the zoo. We visited the Cheetah's enclosure.

One part of the enclosure has a glass separated the cheetah from us.
This is so funny and scary. We did not know that the Cheetah could see us through the glass same way as we see it.

My son was trying to take a good picture of the cheetah, so he was moving forward and backward and the cheetah apparently saw my son and it bared its sharp teeth....yikes!

I guess we looked like food to the cheetah...lol.

A short video showing the action of the cheetah. I certainly do not want to be its prey.
