I walked by this shop and was attracted by the interesting lampshade at the glass window. I went in to take a look, as I was hoping to look for a rug for my own room. However, I had no idea that the things there were on the higher end as they were imported from Europe and were designer items. And, being a student, many would not bother to entertain me. nonetheless, the salesperson in the shop did not think that showing me around was a waste of time. Also, he took quite a few catalogues and spent quite some time introducing some suitable items which I might like.
I feel such service should be exercised in all shops where sales people do not serve only those who look like they can afford.
I was glad to be at the Fashion Fusion on Saturday! I got myself a lovely pair of earrings from amongtheflower.com stall. I thought the earrings there, on the whole, were really pretty and exquisite. I had quite a hard time deciding on one!

I was just at Tony Roma’s yesterday. I thought it was some must-go place but I was so wrong. I ordered a ribeye steak. From past experience, beefs that are well done are too tough and hard to chew. So I decided to have my steak done medium. The steak comes along with 2 side dishes, and I chose a Caesar salad and a baked potato. The Caesar salad had a dressing with a sour taste and the steak was really hard to chew like it was over done.
But the sampler appetizer was not bad. The cheese sticks were quite nice and the cheese had this nice chewy taste. The fire wings were kind of hard to chew too, like the steak, but I thought the sweet and spicy sauce was not bad. The sampler went well with the various cream and sauce provided.
But on the whole, I wouldn’t really recommend this place to people. Even though there’s always a long queue, I find that it’s not worth the time queuing and the food is not worth the money. The service there is not very good either. Apart from taking your orders and serving your food as soon as possible, any other requests made my customers do not seemed to be their priority.
I was just at the night safari on Thursday. I was quite excited to go there, as it was my first time and I’ve waited really long for the day. However, I was quite turned off by the long bus ride to the safari from Ang Mo Kio Interchange which was so packed. It was made worse as it was the after-work hour where traffic was heavier and there were more people on the bus. But you can’t help it since the safari opens only at 6, so people normally make their way there during the peak hour.
After arriving, I walked in to the safari to purchase my tickets and get ready to go around the place. One thing I thought wasn’t too good about the place was the fact that it was hard to get around on your own. There weren’t clear signs of where to go to buy your tickets the moment you stepped in (though, of course, when you see the queues at counters you’ll definitely go there. But they have an information counter or something, where there are quite a number of people. And so, initially, I almost mistook that for the counter.
At night safari, tram rides have one optional stop at the east lodge house before it reaches the final destination. One thing I feel that the safari could do to improve on the situation is to have either empty trams approaching the east lodge house to pick passengers up, or to have partially empty trams once every few trams. This suggestion is due to the fact that there are many passengers queuing to get on the tram, but each time, there are very few who get off the tram, thus not many people can board the tram from east lodge.
Apart from these, I feel that the night safari would be a good place to go as it allows us to see the animals in a different “ambience”. In addition, the staffs working there are really friendly and seem very enthusiastic despite it being the night, and it kind of makes it better after a long day, and some people may feel tired already. Also, I think the Creature of the Night show would definitely be worth your time.
Art Friend is a good place to go to when looking for materials for art works or projects. I like this place because they have a wide variety, and it actually gives me more inspiration on the spot when I see the many things they have there.
However, although this is the biggest branch, it is also the most crowded one. The crowd is due to the fact that many people shop there, however it is also due to the poor organization of the shelves in the store. It has quite a big shop space, but the shelves are arranged in such a way that there is not much walking space to accommodate to the crowd they meet each day.
I feel that the shop is under-staffed too. Either that, or they are really unfriendly. Each time you ask for help from one of those working there, they seem to be always on the move looking for something or moving things. As a result, they give you'd feel like you've got a very half-hearted answer from them, which actually is quite annoying. Not only that, there is always a very long queue at the counter. With such good business, I feel that they should open more counters, or the queue would actually be blocking the way of many others. Also, it could be quite a turn off to have to queue so long.
