City Square Mall - Christmas 2010

Christmas is fast approaching, so have you been good lately? Santa is making a list to see who is good or bad. Only those who are good... get presents from Santa. :)

These deco. in the mall are so lovely.

I like the huge Santa where his hat double up as a christmas tree. Cute.

Easy access to City Square Mall - take the MRT to Farrer Park MRT Station, the mall is just above the MRT Station.

City Square Mall - Bubble Girl

During the long school holiday in November/December, most parents would bring their kids overseas for holiday. It is a long break from school and the time where kids should really be enjoying the long holiday and just relax and being a child.

Besides going overseas, parents also like to bring kids out shopping and having fun in the mall.

Another nice place to bring the kids when shopping is City Square Mall. It is located above Farrer Park MRT Station. There are so many malls in Singapore, we are really spoilt with so many choices. I finally made a repeated visit to City Square Mall...lol.

Kids really like the bubbles made by Bubble Girl. Great activity for the kids too.

Bubble Girl with Santa and Elves - very beautiful bubble show.

Boy taking photo with bubble girl, hahaha kid are just so innocent, the boy just burst the bubble without waiting for his parents to take photo of him inside the bubble.

Bubble Girl had to put the boy's hands into his pocket to prevent him from bursting the bubble...lol.

School is out - Kids out to play

Dont know where to bring the kids out during the school holidays? Try visiting NEX Shopping Mall in Serangoon Central for fun with Winnie The Pooh and Friends.

Nex -

From far, I thought I saw a dummy hanging from the side builing of NEX Shopping Mall.

But on zooming closer to it, I realised it was a worker doing cleaning or maintenance on the side of the building. He looked like he had some experience of rock climbing, etc.

Some of the window cleaners over here are hired from a pool of mountain climbers to do such job and they are well paid.

Not easy making money from this occupation.

Singapore Zoo - Snakes

Yikes - am so afriad of snake.

But this green snake really attracted me.

No way I am going near this python.

Yikes..look at the snake's tongue....I already feeling so ticklish...lol.

Singapore Zoo - More animals

There are so many animals in the zoo that I am too tired to take photos of them all...lol. The lion's enclosure is a favourite with the visitors.

I guess Rhino must have a fight, it had a wound on its body.

I wondered how the Giraffe sleep.

My World Tuesday - Paper Heart Christmas Tree

This pretty purple christmas tree attracted me cause my favourite colour is purple.

On closer look, I realised it was made of thousands of paper hearts.

The tree is for a good cause. You get to fold the paper heart for the christmas tree if you donate $2 to MILK (Mainly I Love Kids).

You can view more about the cause from this article.

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.

Singapore Zoo - Babirusa

The babirusas only know how to eat and sleep...hahaha.

As soon as the zookeeper left some food in the enclosure and reopen the gate for them to re-enter, they rushed for the food...lol. What a funny sight.

The voices in the video belong to some tourists near me.

Singapore Mandai Zoo

White faced Saki Monkey

Mandrill - They looked so fierce.

There are so many different types of monkeys but I did not take much photos of them caused they are so active and jumping from trees to trees.

Singapore Zoo - Orang Utan

This is the sculpture of the famous Orang Utan of Singapore Zoo "Ah Meng". Ah Meng was the icon of the Singapore Zoo, she was first smuggled from Indonesia to Singapore and kept illegally as a housepet before she was discovered by a vet. You can read the rest of her story from Wikipedia.

Ah Meng passed away in 2008 due to old age. A sculpture was built to remember her. Not many animals get this priviledge but Ah Meng is so famous both locally and overseas that she get this special sculpture.

The enclosure of the Orang Utans.

The orang utans get to move around freely and they could actually climb out of their enclosures and move from trees to trees but they normally dont venture far. A zookeeper is around to keep an eye on them.

Ropes and nets are placed around the trees for the orang utans to move freely.

This short video is so cute, an orang utan watching the zookeeper feeding the arowana.

A short vdieo showing the orang utans moving from trees to trees and back to their enclosure.
