This popular book store is located one level above the MRT station. It's quite convenient to go to, as it is very near the MRT station. This outlet is rather big too, and they have a range of things from books to stationery, and some electronic devices and ink cartridges.
However, I think the place is closing down as most shops on that level, including Popular, are having closing sales. There's quite a good bargain at this outlet. I'm not sure if the sale is over, but those who intend to buy a lot of things can go there. There's a whole range of books available.

Being a regular customer at the hair salon for more than 5 years, I am very happy with the services from the stylist there. The stylists are professional and good services. They don't push around with their products.

Honestly, I hardly go to HMV on normal days to purchase CDs or VCDs. However, HMV is the one place that I must drop by when I am in search of an 'outdated' or special imported CD.
HMV, being the largest music store around, just seems to provide the best example of an all rounded music experience. Having stocks from the past to the most recent music releases, HMV strikes me as a place which tries it's very best to fulfil and help every music lover get their music. :)
Differentiating every CD to their individual genre, it really makes things easier when one is in search of a particular CD of that music genre. From experience, the staff were also very helpful and friendly while aiding you, whenever you feel lost searching through the piles of CDs.
I recall that HMV also does sell some of the CDs/VCDs at lower prices, when compared to other music stores. This is really a good bargain for students especially, to get the CDs they want, at a much lower price. :) Of course, the CD may be slightly outdated, but hey, it is never late to purchase music records that you like.
Music crosses language boundaries, and time puts no stop to it as well. :)

Despite seeing the tempting and delicious looking pictures of the food available at Sakura website, the whole view and variation of the actual thing wasn't as appetising.
I went to the branch at Toa Payoh and..frankly speaking, the variety seemed very little and looked kind of pathetic. I'm not sure if it was as such because it was at the end of the day during dinner time, or..otherwise. Yet, it was disappointing to note that not only was there little variety in the buffet, but also that the quality of the food did not seem up to the mark of being an "international cuisine" buffet.
They really do cater some variations of Japanese, Western and Chinese food, like sushi and mussels etc. However, the common foodfare like chicken wings and onion rings just did not attract me. I just felt that it was not enough to satisfy my tastebuds that were dying for an international buffet of a higher standard and a larger variation.
Priced at $24 for adults during dinner time, it felt a little steep and overpriced as well. If the food really looked like the ones on their website, I wouldn't mind paying that amount. But sadly, it wasn't.
Money was just not worthily paid for the meal. :(

Their pies are really mouth-watering! I tried their Chicken Pie and it consist of big chucks of chicken meat, egg, potato and many others.
The pastry is also crispy and delicious.

The shop sells a kind of little puff (something similar to that papa puff), which a topping on the top. There are 8 types of topping to choose from. And my personal favourite is its Cheese Lover.
And the queue are forming outside the shop already.

Tucked discreetly along the shophouses opposite the newly opened Central Shopping Cente at Clarke Quay, Fishermen’s Wharf is a one stop place where you will be able to get your favourite type of fish and chips!
At Fishermen’s Wharf, you can choose from different types of fishes that you would like your fish and chips to be made from. From the common Cream Dory (which most restaurants use to prepare fish and chips) to Atlantic Cod fish. More importantly, the prices there are really reasonable too! If I do not recall wrongly, the usual fish and chips is priced at $6.50.. :) The price increases though, if you choose to have other types of fish.
I went there for lunch once, and had the usual cream dory fish and chips. Comparing it to the fish and chips you'd normally find in other western restaurants in Singapore, the fish and chips at Fishermen’s Wharf is relatively bland and dry. However, it does allow one to really savour the real taste of the fish~
Ambience wise.. It was kind of quiet and laid back when I went there in the afternoon. No crowds at all. It's quite a good place to enjoy the afternoon and have small talks with your friends. Yet..do note that the place is not airconditioned~ :P

Bangkok is affectionately known as "The Land of Smiles" and..it's somewhat true. People do greet you with a smile at some places and it's nice to just feel that sense warmth in a foreign country. :)
Life in Bangkok bustles with activities, especially at night. Do visit the night/weekend markets while you are there, as those places are really good for shopping~ It also gives you a look of how the locals live and get to know some of their cultures as well. Don't worry if you don't speak Thai, as most shop owners either know Mandarin, a dialect or some English, well enough for you to bargain and make your purchases. :)
However, the air there is quite bad. So..if you happen to be just as curious as I was, to experience their culture first-hand by hopping onto a 'tuk tuk', be sure to take a good bath when you get back to the hotel. =P
Getting onto cabs would be a good choice, if not for the drivers' preference to settle a lump sum of cab fare, instead of following the meter. Some cab drivers can be quite adamant to not follow the meter, which puts you at a disadvantage as you'll never know if he's overcharging you.
The BTS (Bangkok Transit System) Skytrain would be a good choice if your destinations are within walking distances of the station, as it's really convenient and clean. :)
Oh, be sure to be careful when you leave your hotel at night. Some private vehicles may be waiting nearby, and offer to bring you to a certain restaurant for a good dinner etc. Though my family and I were fine after following that guy..but the restaurant's food turned out to be just average yet a little expensive. And..thinking back, it was really kind of dangerous. So..do beware of these people~
A good destination for a short trip to relax and just soak in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. :)

Recently there was a sale at Esprit and, of course, it attracted many shoppers there. The Wisma outlet was packed and the outlet was kind of under-staffed. Many customers were asking for a new piece or if there were different sizes available. I managed to spot a staff walking by and asked for a new piece for a certain item. Then I walked around the place and almost forgot about my request. When I remembered, I went looking for that lady and saw her looking for me too. I was quite surprised to know that despite the crowd, she did not put aside my item just because she couldn't look for me. At the same time, I was really pleased at her service attitude.
Unfortunately, it wasn't all working there that were this pleasant. It would be good if they all adopted such good service.

I've heard so much about ya kun's that I decided to try it out. I was at the taka outlet and I ordered a 2 pieces of toast. I must say that it tasted ok, or maybe it just doesn't taste lousy. I feel that ya kun's toasts may have quite a variety, but it is definitely is overrated and over-priced. Perhaps it does have a good reputation due to the many franchise outlets available all over Singapore, thus many people don't feel that the food there is over-priced. However, I personally feel that toasts and coffee of such quality could be available at other coffee shops, and at cheaper price too.
