Leisure Park

Still at Kallang, I remember this shopping mall at Leisure Park. Used to bring my kids here when they were very young. This mall should be at least around 20 years of age. Surprising the mall looked so new or did they renovate the whole place.

The mall is now even easier to access by the new Circle Line Stadium Station. It is located beside the station.

Spotted some costumes of movies characters in the mall.

You can find out more about the mall in their official website.

Skywatch Friday - Singapore Indoor Stadium

This is the Singapore Indoor Stadium, it is located just opposite the new Stadium MRT Station.

The indoor arena is a vibrant entertainment and sports venue capable of hosting major events for up to 13,000 spectators.

This is the meeting place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium where friends get to meet each other. As there were be huge crowds during a huge concert and event, it is easier to meet friends at this point.

You can read more about the Singapore Indoor Stadium from its official website.

Circle Line - Stadium Station

Continuing with my exploration of the new Circle Line (extension of the Mass Rapid Transit Transport Sytem), I arrived at Stadium Station. This is the station where I can go to the Singapore National Stadium which I posted yesterday.

I think the architectural design of this station is the best among all the stations but I have yet to visit other stations of the new circle line extension.

As this station is near the future sports hub, there are pictures of footballers plastered on the glass of the station. Very interesting.

From the top of the station, I can view through the other end of the station. It looked like it is very narrow.

The exit/entrance of the station is very spacious.

The station is very empty when I was there. Normally, there is no reason to go there unless you worked there or there's a concert at the nearby Indoor Stadium. Crowds of thousands will be expected on such occasion.

But once the Sports Hub is built, I think it will be crowded again with people going there to watch football matches and also to exercise there.

My World Tuesday -Singapore National Stadium

This is the Singapore National Staidum in Kallang, it was opened in 1973 and I remembered that I visited it the first time when I was about 14 years old when the school brought us to watch the youth festival celebration held at the Stadium. It was so long ago and when I visited it last month, it was a far cry from its hey day.

The stadium is now closed for demolition and a new stadium will be built. The whole stadium now looked so eerie and quiet.

I could not get in and take photo of the field and tracks.

These used to be the ticketing stands.

A short video showing the quiet staidum and only hubby and me were there that day. It was so quiet that I could only hear the birds chirping in the background.

Mother's Day Stress

Took this photo during lunch time when we were looking for a nice restaurant to have our celebration. The queue at Ding Tai Fung Restaurant was so long that I am prepared to settle for a meal at the fast food outlet...lol. I think I will stress out if I have to wait for more than an hour for seats in the restaurant.

It is nice to see children taking their mothers and grandmothers out for a meal to celebrate the day but can be quite stress for the old folks having to stand outside the restaurants for so long.


However, we are lucky to find seats at Crystal Jade Restaurant after waiting for less than half an hour only.

Many like me have to settle for these dim sum restaurants after failing to get reservations for buffet at our nice hotels. I heard that some booked one week ahead for Mother's Day Lunch and Dinner at the hotels and some even stay for the night at the hotel.

Next month is Father's Day, we are definitely celebrating earlier together with hubby's birthday.
