Vivo City


Now this is the newest and one of the largest mall we have here in Singapore.
It is called Vivo City. And for those of you who knew about WTC or have heard about the World Trade Centre, yes it used to be, now it is the refurbished area and they renamed it as 'VIVO CITY'. Well, I dunno why exactly. That they have to changed the name from 'World Trade Centre' to Vivo City.

Perhaps they dun want us to be reminded of the sad event on September 11. Perhaps it is the consumer behaviour that they are concerned about, so that means for commerical reasons. But whichever reason it is, it's a nice wide area with a Cruise Centre where you can see ships, cruises and ferries of various sizes in the outdoor areas of the mall. Please click to see, I really love the twilight scene it sets. Do you like it too?

I love the architecture for this. Wonderful! It's so nice when someone takes the time to make a building a work of art.

for the very first sight it reminded me of the Flinstone houses:) I like that its not a common "cube" or a tall building like usually malls.

Surprised!!!
j.andrew, olivier, Zsolt and Kris:

this is designed by a Japanese Architect and the theme is fluidity:)
and indeed many elements within the mall is 'fluid' which i will post more later.

Overall I like the experience:) wide aisles really give me MORE SPACE!:D

Zsolt:
yes it was meant not to be the 'block' or 'cube' structure as of most shopping centres.

kris, vivo is from the word 'viva' which means 'live', it is the intented positioning of this largest mall. You should pop by when you are back to Malaysia to visit you mom, afterall, malaysia and Singapore is so so near:)

It's a very nice building. Much nicer than the plain ones we have in some malls in Santiago

bougainvillea

Bougainvillea is a genus of flowering plants native to the tropical and subtropical regions of South America from Brazil west to Peru and south to southern Argentina (Chubut Province). However, we also have it here in Singapore. Maybe they used to be 'presents' from these countries :D at the point of taking this photo today, i chanced upon this particular bracts , which was strangely the one amongst the thousands and millions of chartreuse green leaves (they usually grow alot of bracts) Zsolt made a video clip with beginning frames of this plant, if you are curious, you are welcome to take a look:) In it you can also see my very first 'chasing the sunset' video captured in April
