Vivocity - killing time

Vivocity lives up to its name. It is always bustling, vibrant and filled to the brim with shoppers both local and tourists. But, amid the activities that the healthy and able, be they young or old, engage in at Vivocity daily, we cannot escape the fact that some of us do experience something that the usual crowd are spared. I was waiting for my friend outside the Daiso Store on the 3rd floor when I noticed that this old man was also waiting for his family to finish their shopping. I waited for about 15 minutes and when I left with my friend he was still waiting.



While waiting for my friend I killed time by taking photos, a simple pleasure I am truly thankful for.

On top of Vivocity to enjoy the evening

It does not cost very much to have a pleasant evening if you have a friend or your spouse for company. Perhaps, the cost of a bus ride from your home and back - a very small price to pay for this kind of spaciousness and luxury of gazing into the open sky and a gentle breeze around you. Bring some sandwiches and your own drink from home and have a picnic to watch the sky turning dark and the lights brightening on Sentosa Island as the Integrated Resort light up for your enjoyment. The port next door is inactive while families and friends come to this wooden deck to sit for a while after shopping or a movie. I was there on Sunday to see:
People relaxing and enjoying the uncluttered surroundings. People were talking to one another and not through their handphones.
Zooming onto a new structure on Sentosa Island.
The monorail train transporting hordes of visitors to and fro. Vivocity was swamped by people from China. The food court felt like it was somewhere in China.

The two men refused to budge for the entire time and I refused to move either and so the result was this shot.
Port machinery.

Waiting to start work on Monday.

Food Republic at Vivocity

Vivocity is my favourite hangout. It caters to my varied needs from supermarket to window shopping to buying books to watching movies and of course meeting up with friends for coffee and a meal. On Thursday evening I was early for a reunion dinner with a few of my secondary classmates at Food Republic on the top floor of Vivocity. I took a short walk out to the roof-top playground and thought this scene looked like a giraffe enclosure in a zoo.
Food Republic has a wide variety of hawker and restaurant fare. It also has comfortable and cosy seating where the seven of us were free to talk and laugh without being a nuisance since the environment is noisy to start with. The best part about having a gathering of friends in such a public place is that food is super accessible and we could eat to our hearts' content.
Javanese food similar to nasi lemak in presentation.
A sample of Pohpiah, Kueh pai tee and grilled chicken wings.
Hokkien mee - 3 star.
Shui Qing Pau - very nice.
Hakka Thunder Rice

Beancurd and omelette
