I love to get on SMRT Buses.. With the upgraded new Jap Designed Buses that are more eco-friendly, nicer seats, better space design and single sitters still available. Their routes are always LONG... No fiddle or shutter service for this one. I find their service extremely close to heart... The bus drivers are more casual, relaxed and graceful. I love their routes, they seem to go to most places where they used not to have MRT Train Stations and they get you there much faster then regular train rides. Bus Drivers usually skillful and fast drivers in which i find the rides very enjoyable.
Totally love the double cabin buses.. I find them more fun to seat in then double deckers and not to mention more elderly and handicap friendly too. Also love the automated text display on the top which gives timely information on the next stop, time and when the bus is arriving as well as the vocal ques on doors closing. Overall, I find SMRT or TIBS buses having better routes, bus drivers with better skill and attitudes and makes my travelling more pleasant.
Since its Service Month, I'll write a review on this UOB outlet @ Jurong Point. This outlet is pretty big i must say with a large banking hall that could accommodate at least 50 standing persons at one go.
At the entrance, you will be greeted by 4 automated tellers and a reception that made the entire branch looked like its only got the front part. The staff were helpful and you could get efficient information at this reception. If you are accessing normal banking administration like account or checking items, you could just walk in and join the queue at the main banking hall.
I was once there 5 mins early to the bank opening its doors and there is already a queue forming at the entrance. Upon entry, I still had to queue for 30 mins before its mine turn though there are only about 5 to 6 customers before me and there are 2 counters opened. One was served by a tired inefficient banking staff and another had too many questions to ask her superior. So while i waited, frustration started to build and when its mine turn.... It just took 2 mins... and I'm all done.... so i guess banking staff needs to warm up as well...
The entire branch is kept clean and facilities well maintained.. I was watching the cleaning lady doing her usual rounds and I must say she did an excellent job. Best of all, she could do her work without hindering the waiting customers be it if they are in her way or sitting on the couch she is cleaning. Excellent job i must say.
This is a shop that I've always walked past but have never been into, however this weekend I did went in and bought a few GREAT BARGAINS....
Its having sale.. 50% off regular items, though I think their casual wear is over-priced. Material is thin though comfy and designs regular, but you can really find some interesting things.
Though i'm not such a big fan of australian beach style fashion, I managed to buy a few good pieces to match with the warm weather. I've got a black single entirely fixed with sequins that Could Rock any Night Event. A white thin hang loose top with glamouring shoulders and a dark blue short loose t-shirt top with sparky words... Though the sizes are pretty hard to find (Messy sale section), I've managed to find a few sizes that are not XS or XL. These 3 glimmering tops for just $30 for 3... on top of that you get 5% discount if you are a member or holds a citibank credit card.
Checkered Shirts are going for $19.90 and long sleeves top $19.90 as well. Checked out their t-shirt and their designs are pretty interesting. I'm sure to come back for more.
Oh yar.. the guys section merchandises caught my attention too. Love the belts, the baseball caps and the capris which are made we such cooling and non-cris materials that is just right for our 365 sunny days.
Service is okay, staff is helpful though sometimes i feel that they talk to much. Check out the changing rooms.... somehow i couldn't lock the door but the good thing is you can try anything on and its spacious. The thing that awed me is that even for sales items you could still exchange them for 7 days.. Love it...
Will pop by to check out interesting stuffs but only when theres a sale.
Everybody must have been to SUNTEC Convention Centre for any kind of event. Be it the IT FAIR, Travel Fair or trade exhibitions. The Suntec Convention Centre used to be Singapore's best location for exhibitions, conference and other big scale events, though now the entire SUNTEC City is under renovation, I hope to see some improvements in many areas.
There are only 2 sets of lifts that goes up to the exhibition halls.. One on the extreme left and another on the extreme right and there are only 2 lifts per set that goes from the basement carparks all the way up to the exhibition halls. It is insufficient and not really convenient as during exhibition build-up days or IT-Fairs where there are people buying huge stuffs like TVs or LARGE Printers Etc... It is pretty inconvenient, I mean you don't expect them to take an escalator when the escalators are sooo high.. Its scary I must say. So MORE LIFTS PLEASE
The toilets at the convention level are also very sparse.. There is 2 locations per level and each location there is only about 2 to 3 cubicles. Though you can also use the toilets in the exhibition hall itself which is a long walk and difficult to locate, If you intend to house more patrons and participants, the basic needs of toilets has got to be easily reachable. The cleanliness and quality of the toilets are also lacking.
The loading / unloading bays are great i must say, we had a very good experience and smooth delivery on build up and tear down days
Food is pretty difficult to get except for restaurants, though there is something like food court downstairs, it is always crowded during lunch time or If i would say all the time especially on exhibition days. Though the choices are many, but we hardly have time to get down to queue up and get something to eat... The inhouse food at the exhibition hall cafeteria is not yummy and exceptionally expensive. If the food court downstairs could provide lunch deliveries into the exhibition hall would be great, I mean we could make advance orders as we could be so busy that we wouldn't have time to make the lunch trips downstairs.
Location is great with 2 MRTs covering the both ends of the entire SUNTEC City and shopping is easy. It is still a really good exhibition and convention centre by my standards though improvements is a must.
In my 4 years of study in NTU... This is the auditorium that I have only been to once on my very last graduating day. Its a grand theater, professionally decked with good sounds system and beautiful architecture. It feels glam, with the medium haired carpets and the matching colored plush chairs to the large foyer spaces and the quiet air-conditioning. I can recall extremely glee looking parents, proud siblings, well dressed friends and graduates decked in a robe of blue holding on to their similarly dressed graduations bears and certificates. It has many steps and an extremely high ceiling, while the excited graduates are chatting away, the noise is still quite contained. Lightings and projections though not as fantastic as some concert locations i've been to is sufficient for normal presentations and conference events.
This location has been used every year for countless graduations and student concerts as well as symposiums and presentations. The outdoor glass facade is beautiful and brings in very minimal sunlight and heat thanks to the special coating on the glass. Its a really nice place to hold your events if you are looking for a space with the capacity of a little bit over 1500. Would love to go back there again to relive the moment of graduation
