Skywatch Friday - Holland Village

This is Holland Village. It is just another estate in Singapore located in Holland Road. Holland Village is named after Holland Road, and Holland Road was named after Hugh Holland an architect during the early Singapore.

Holland Village has many eateries and restaurants surrounded by HDB Flats, Condominiums and some private houses. Weekend and night life are very attractive to locals and foreigners.

Many of the shophouses in Holland Village are very old and they were occupied by restaurants, pubs,etc.


Recently I was at Foster Restaurant in Holland Village celebrating my niece's birthday.

The restaurant served very nice and yummy western food. Hope to go back there again for their food.

My little niece and I were attracted by the small goldfishes in the little pond in the restaurant.

In a few months time, the Holland Village MRT Station will be ready and Holland Village is easily accessible by MRT by then.

My World Tuesday - Nex

Saw this huge polar bear trying to climb through the wall. The bear was not part of a poster or painting, the bear was jutting out of the wall. Very creative idea on the advertising part.

The advertisement is for Planet Earth. The advertisment is located at the North East Line of the MRT in Singapore.

From the NEL Serangoon Station, you can enter NEX shopping mall which is at Basement 1. The entrance from the MRT Station to NEX just open recently.

From Circle Line MRT Station of Serangoon, you can also access to NEX Shopping Mall which is at basement 2.

For more photos of NEX Shopping Mall, you can view from my other posts.

Skywatch Friday - Nex

One of my favourite place is to head to the library. Serangoon Library on the top of the roof top of Nex Shopping Mall is the latest library to be open. It was open last week. The library is rather small but the books there are all very new.

I did not stay long in the library cause it was so noisy with so many children because of the school holiday. The children section and the adult section in the library are very close to each other.

I prefer other libraries where the children section are separated from the adult section where one can read in silence.

But the serangoon library is very convenient cause is on the rooftop of the mall and also above the MRT Station. So if you just want to borrow your books you can head here but if you want some silence reading, do it after the school holidays.

Also above the roof top of the NEX mall is a children playground with waterpool and fountain. Great place for the kids to play. But the playground will be closed if it rain heavily.

I think this is the first mall with play area for dogs. This the dog park on the rooftop of NEX mall. Dogs are not allowed in shopping mall in Singapore unless the dog are those who aid the blind. Owners have to use separate lift to access the rooftop with their dogs. There's a restaurant for pets too on the rooftop.
