VivoCity @ Singapore

Just went back from Singapore today as we went to visit our relatives over there. We are stuck in the traffic jam while we are going to to Singapore as most of the people are rushing out as most of them starts to work on tomorrow.

After visits my aunt house, we decided to go Vivo City for a walk, Since many people says that Vivo City was a great place to shop. As today is weekend, there are surely many people there, and my aunt place was just opposite the MRT stations, so we go there by taking public transport. I know I am bit out of date as this is my first time visit Vivo City though it was there quite a long time already.

MRT is what they call for the commuters in Singapore, just like LRT in KL. Buying ticket for the commuters was pretty easy there as you can buy tickets for other commuter service as well. Imaging you in KL and you travel between Rapid KL Kelana Jaya Line to Ampang Line and monorail, you only need to buy ticket once. Commuter service in Singapore was well linked too as all was inter-connected, unlike in KL, you would need to walk for certain distance to reach stations of the other lines.

After taking MRT from Admiralty to Dhoby Ghaut, then to Outram Park, more than 1 hour rides, we finally reached our destination. Taking a few rounds in Vivo City, actually for me it was just a typical shopping mall with many branded shops. Just like The Gardens or Pavilion in KL. The only special part of the mall was the park on the roof of the shopping complex. At a glance you can see the ports and sentosa island is just opposite the sea. Future casino (WIP) can be seen too... :P

I stop there and takes some pictures until it was getting late. LOL...
