2-Men-Team: Virgin Exploration

Together with choon boon, we have formed a team of two. Our aim is to explore every part of Singapore, in order to have a good knowledge of all, if not most, interesting places available. Today we headed off to Bugis and our first stop is the new shopping mall, Iluma.

Iluma is just another typical shopping mall, but with alot of walking space. I have read reviews on it and many have complained about the lack of shops due to the abundance of walking space. Well... I personally feel otherwise. Somehow, it gives me a new experience which other shopping malls can't provide. I love to have a lot of space instead of squeezing with the crowds. For me, i would visit Iluma more than any other shopping centers, just because it gives me a better ambiance. I wouldn't go to a shopping mall just because it offers more variety of shops. That's just me. Shopping ain't my cup of tea, and i prefer to take my time and chill.

Level 5 is all about movies and arcades, while level 7 provides the shoppers with a sky garden, which is currently unavailable. If you think that the sky garden is the "thing", you're so wrong. There is a huge area allotted for a up-and-coming game center and also a Lan center just beside it. The soft launch of the Lan center will be on this coming Saturday. I'm so looking forward to visiting it with my friend. The environment there is superb, and with the cheap rates due to the soft launch, it is something that should not be missed. Mind you, it has been AGES since i last visited a Lan shop. :)

After that, we went on to visit many many random places, covering many MRT stations in the process. I'm too lazy to further elaborate on the trip, but it was one hell of an experience man! Exploration has never been this fun and i'm looking forward to the next trip, which is most probably at Clarke Quay.

I've bought the first can of beer in my life time. Yup, it's true, my first can. I have never bought any beer or wine before and have never really drank with the exception of a few gulps in order to entertain my friends.

During the trip, i happened to revisit various places that i've previously went to with her... Going back to those places gave me a brand new kind of feeling. During the times i went with her, i was new to those places. But this time, i'm going back to those places, no longer as a green horn. It really feels good to get to know more places in Singapore. It feels good to have a beer while venturing into the unknowns. Sometimes i wonder... why am i doing all these...? Is it because of her...? I wonder... Oh well... All these are something that i should have learned long ago... It might have been a little too late now... How i wish i could turn back the pendulum...
