I don't know if anyone has ever seen this poster at the bus interchange that states that SBS is the only transport service company out of the many other taxi and bus companies that obtained a gold star award. Of the many hundreds of employees in SBS, one of them got the rare award - a Gold Star in service .
I don't know if people are impressed by this publicity, but I am not particularly impressed or anything. Instead, I'm not surprised why only one of them got an award, out of the many hundred potentials.
I was on one of the buses that left from Bedok Interchange one day. As I was seated at the front of the bus, naturally I'd want to alight from the nearest door - the front door. There was no one boarding the bus and I was the only one alighting. However, the bus driver refused to open the door for me. He did not even try to explain why I should exit from the back door but just showed a hand gesture indicating that the only way I can alight is through the back door.
Another time was when I was on the bus and I over heard a conversation between a foreigner and the bus driver. The passenger wanted to find out how to get a particular destination but wasn't able to express herself well in English. The bus driver did not understand her and went "Huh?" in an extremely loud and rude tone.
Perhaps it's the high expectations of us consumers, but I feel that it's not right for people working in this arena to behave in such a manner as it reflects more than just the individual themself.

A must-try for chocolate lovers! Dark chocolate, may I add, so it's not too sweet. With only three types of cake - chocolate, chocolate banana (my favourite!) and rum & cherry, they're doing really well to have 4 outlets around Singapore, not including those in other countries! They recently developed their own chocolate ice-cream, "hei" (meaning black in Chinese).

Nice cosy ambience with great western food! The portions are really generous and the place is usually packed during festive periods, so do place reservations to prevent disappointments!

I love their little twin sausage buns! Their line of bread's always soft and well-balanced with fillings, unlike other bakeries. I wouldn't know that this bakery is actually part of the Four Leaves' chain of bakeries until I visited the website.

If you're looking for a place to try vietnamese food, I highly recommend this shop at Caltex House. It is located near Raffles Place MRT Station, very convenient to go to.
The food comes in huge servings and taste almost similar to those that you can get in Vietnam, only that it is slightly tastier here to cater to the likings of Singaporeans. It is a must try!
However, as the shop is located at Raffles Place, it is very crowded during lunch hours and the shop unit is very small. The shop is only opened slightly before lunch hour, till around 4pm.

I went to Ho Chi Minh just last November. Just a note for caution to people who intend to go to Ho Chi Minh, be careful when boarding taxis there. Some meters there run so fast that it could cost you double the price to get to a particular place.
Not much night life there. Only pubs are open after 9pm . For people who are into nightlife such as shopping or eating, this probably isn;t the place to go.

A nice chill-out place tucked away in the corner of tranquil Tanjong Beach, Sentosa. The place features a quiet ambience with garden torches and a deck pool, meant for ladies only or men in the company of the privileged species. Their own concoction, Sarongfly is highly recommended!
The early closing hours are quite a damper though. The place closes at 1am on weekends and 11pm on weekdays.

This cinema has sofas! Relaxing sofas that can sit 2 or 3 people? Ok 2's the ideal figure. The sofas bring movie-watching to a higher level. I think you have to pay a special price for it, but you could just sneak up there when there's no one. Either ways, it's worth a try!
But if you're a person really particular about service, this place probably isn't one that I'll recommend. Could be a one-time biased judgement but I was turned off by their services when I went there. I purchased two tickets and only realized I was given one when I was about to enter the cinema. Lucky for me, the guy at the counter recognized us and recalled that we paid for two tickets and so we managed to get in without much trouble. But I was shocked when I overheard part of the conversation between two of the people working there that this was not the first time someone was short of tickets. I'm sure it would have been quite a turn off if anyone were to be rushing to go for their movie and were to be held up by such an incident.

BreadTalk offers nice breads and cakes, that I totally agree. It's fresh also, considering how there's almost constant flow of human traffic in and out of the shop and the bread has to be refilled every now and then. I won't say that the breads there are cheap. But it is definitely of better standards than those in the neighbourhoods, and maybe that would explain for the difference in price.

New and huge shopping mall. And when I say "huge", I mean huge. (Well but then again, it's relative. If you've been to malls overseas, it's normal.)
The shops there range from the average shops you'd find at neighbourhood malls to the high-end shops such as Zara, as well as many new foreign brands like Gap and River Island. I would say it's a good place for shopping for teens and adults as if you have the time to cover each shop, you'll be able to find clothes of various styles and designs that would suit many.
Also, there are many food outlets there, ranging from fast-food outlets to high-end restaurants, which includes Japanese, Chinese and Western cuisine. Ideal for spending the whole day there, shopping and eating! So who needs Hong Kong when you can eat and shop in Vivo City, Singapore?
In addition, the place is very easily accessible, despite it being at Harbour Front. Not a bad place to go. (:
