Went to Vivo City for the first time on Monday, got dragged there by my sister and parents.

The biggest shopping centre in Singapore, looks like i won’t be missing any UK mega brands, TOPSHOP, ZARA, Marks & Spencer, WAREHOUSE etc..You could spend the entire day there, that is, if you love shopping

Wasn’t quite in the mood to shop, so we only spent about an hr there or less.

Fantastic POSH shopping plus fabulous hang-out spots under the sun overlooking Sentosa Island…. Vivo City is certainly THE PLACE now, although i still pretty much enjoy the neighbourhood shopping areas more.

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in Singapore women and about 1000 women are diagnosed with the cancer annually. Women of all the 3 major ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay, Indian) are equally affected.

Significantly, the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer is increasing at an average of 3% annually. Women of all age groups are affected but are more common in women above 40 years old.

As the awareness for cancer heightens, there’re two major tests which women should always do to prevent and detect early signs of cancer.

As we all know, the online trade has become very dominant in the last decade or so, buying and selling online is no longer for what i call the ‘techni-wizards’. Anyone with a sound knowledge of the internet and basic computer skills can start buying and selling online. Here, I’ll like to discuss some of the methods and avenues of buying and selling online.

Mahjong is a traditional game that originated in China and is a popular game in Hongkong, China, Singapore and Malaysia. With a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 players, this is a game requiring observation, memory and tactics. The way the game is played in the different countries listed above varies slightly, rules are slightly different and occasionally, setup can be different too.

I personally love playing Mahjong. It’s a brilliant game between family members or friends and is almost better than playing monopoly or scrabble! If you know the game, you’ll know that this game requires strategy and tact and of course, luck to win. It’s also addictive, especially when you know how to strategise. Some people gamble, others don’t.

Overall, not a difficult game to learn how to play the game, i.e the rules and how to win the game, but definitely requires more than just a wee bit of effort to get a complete grasp of the game, for eg. to memorise the tiles, to remember and guess your competitor’s tiles, not to throw the wrong tiles, and how to get the best formation to win. The better the formation, the more money you win.

Very exciting game….completely addictive! Play the traditional mahjong, not the western kind that you can find on yahoo or msn games!

Went to Bottle Tree Village yesterday…. It looks like a resort from a macro view, yet it is a fishing village. They’ve got a nice seafood restaurant where you could enjoy a sumptuous meal in a peaceful, serene environment.

There’s a children’s playground and surrounding the fishing pond are straw top tents where you could sit, relax and chat with your friends…. if you’re the thrifty kind, you could have a little picnic like I did with my friends yesterday instead of eating at the restaurant. The three of us packed some food from the kopitiam, prata, nasi padang, chicken wings and bubble tea and we walked all the way from khatib mrt station to the park. Fairly long walk i have to say, but it was so worth it….

Fantastic view at around sunset….the quiet peaceful surroundings and the beautiful scenery really appealed to me. I would rather sit there all day than shop the malls in town.

I highly recommend this place…. but as it’s a private property, the place close at around 1130 or so. So if you’re looking for a place to hang out until after midnight, it’s not the best place i have to say. But if you’re just planning to chill and relax, it’s almost the perfect place. Better than east coast park or pasir ris park……. without the buzz and certainly the tents keep you away from the annoying heat and sunlight.
