Less crowded now, everyone off for the holidays

[enterprise2]

Roads not so crowded, MRT and buses also can get seats, malls crowded but prob with more tourists, workplace also half empty with many empty desks with email reply - off for vacation. This is the best time for me as no need to rush, push and shove to do the things I enjoy. Maybe this weekend I can go to little India and try my favorite banana fish curry without having any carpark problems or running over some Ah Nehs in the process!!

I like year 2001 better, just after the start of the new millennium. Job good, increment and bonus good, cost of living ok, not so crowded...etc

I ORD'ed in 2001. And I ORD'ed just before the 9-11 attacks, lucky to avoid all that additional 'security' nonsense done by NS slaves.

I now feel out of place whenever I walk around in Spore. Lots of new shops that cater more for the tourists & foreigners. This is especially true in the Orchard area. You have schools, condos,...all for the foreigners.

With the pro foreigner attitude I feel like I'm just a bystander in my own country with an out of control gov't:(

Long ago, I had went to a restaurant there for a wedding dinner.
There was also a bowling alley next to it.

Anyway back to my thread. Always like the holiday season which stretch from Dec to CNY. Going to be busy feasting, partying and catching up with buddies and old friends. Let's all shake off all our negativity and enjoy these holidays. Merry Christmas everyone and hope u have a great New Year ahead.

I still remember the counter staff at Queenstown bowl was an Ah Gua

The only Nostalgic place left in Queenstown is the shopping centre. It still has that pleasant unique smell when you enter. Those old shopping centre has their own unique smells. The new shopping centres are all souless and all you can smell is air con

The best times in Sinkie were the 90s for me. The whole feel of the place is now so different. Non air-con Buses & MRT much less crowded even with only 2 lines with the NS terminating at Yishun.

Also enjoyed driving down to Marina South for
1) Bowling followed by a nice Barbecue Steamboat dinner
2) A nice massage at one of those 2 famous spas in the area

Pity it's now been totally destroyed to make way for the MBS integrated resort.

you mean queenway shopping center la.you want find old shopping mall is katong,bukit timah,beauty world..
i am glad beauty world still didnt upgrade.is the only open concept hawker at the top floor of the shopping center, very unique design

The new malls use a lot of synthetic materials for construction, for example PVC and hollow walls. Those materials emit a smell that lingers on.
