My World Tuesday-Orchard Central - Arts - Tall Girl

Today, I hop to a new mall which is not branded mall but affordable to everyone and this mall is all about food and arts. I am sure many like this mall. So does this tall girl. She is so tall that I could not capture her in my wide screen camera.
Even her boots are more than one storey tall.


There are many art sculptures around the mall. But when I was there last month, the mall was not fully opened yet, so I could only take photos of some arts only.

A short video of tall girl and you can see how tall she really is.
You have to return to see more window displays and a rock climbing wall in the mall in my next few posts.
Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

ION Orchard - Fountain at the steps

At the steps near the entrance are these little fountains that are a child's delight.

ION Orchard - Posh Toilet

A posh toilet to go with the branded mall. The toilet is so clean and posh. I am talking about the public toilets in ION Orchard. Sorry I am not eligible to use the VIP toilet. The VIP toilets are for customers who spend more than $10,000 and also for celebrities or dignitaries, i.e. very important people...lol.

These toilets are not VIP toilets but they still are very posh and clean and they are free to use, no need to spend $10,000...lol.

In the centre of the posh toilets are vanity table with beautiful mirrors where the ladies can do their make up, etc.

Oh I like this. Every mirror in front of the basin, are personal hand dryer and paper towel. So there are so many hand dryers in the toilets, each located at the bottom of the mirror. How cool is that.

And no need to queue to use the toilets as there are so many cubicles in the toilets. I wish all public toilets in Singapore are like that.
Next week I will post photos of a new mall that is associated with food and the arts. So art lovers will like to come visit my blog next week.

Skywatch Friday - ION Orchard - Condominium

If you are impressed with the branded mall of ION Orchard, then you will also be impressed with its condominium.

Beside the mall, is the condominium built by the same developer of ION Orchard. The condominium is known as The Orchard Residence.

The Orchard Residences will be the tallest building along the shopping district, standing at 218 metres. This residential building will have a total of 175 residential units from the ninth floor to the 54th floor once completed, four of which are penthouses. During the first phase of the sale of 98 units, the units were sold for an average of S$3213 per sq ft.
It is so expensive, it means that each unit is about a few million dollars. You can read more about it from source. The highest floor are the penthouses which cost so much more than the lower units.
For other sky watchers, please hop over to Skywatch blog.

ION Orchard - Inside the mall - shops

ION Orchard is a branded mall. So all the shops from the ground floor up to the higher floors are shops that sell branded goods.





Shops like burberry, Prada, Cartier, Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton, etc

The above photo shows a father riding the escalator with his daughter on his shoulder (circled). This is a very dangerous act, one wrong slip, the child might fall many floors down. Not a wise act by the father.

I like this bookshop's window display of star trek's characters.

Below photo is the one of the basement (there are four levels in the basement) where the shops are not so expensive, we can all afford it.

Tomorrow I will showcase basement four where all the food are. :)
