I was around that area looking for a puppy with a friend and we thought this place looks much better then the other places we went to.
There is ample parking space however while alighting, i could hear dogs howling at the boarding area. I tried to convince myself that they are not crying, however the howling sounds so pathetic. In anyway, we walked into the showroom area and we could see various breeds of puppies in nice airy cages with ample space to run around and play. They are also pretty clean and looks healthy.
There are also some kittens and cats around in opposite cages lazing in their den and watching us watching them.
They have a good range of dog and cat food and daily products and the price is acceptable though i have seen even cheaper ones. I always thought it will be cheapest to buy at a farm, however it seems like its not so. While my friend hagger for the price of the baby shin tzu he liked, he got only a mere 10% discount in which is still much more expensive then the other farms around that area. So while we decided to walk away, the sales person did THAT FACE..... and we were pissed..... So.. we are not going back there again. However, perhaps my friend is not so nice also thats why THAT FACE.... If you are seriously looking for a puppy, you could check out this place and the various other farms nearby...

Yup.. This is a tiny store however it is one of the few stores that has the skinny pig for sale.. Though crazily over-priced, this skinny naked pig is super adorable. It makes me think that a rodent could really look like a piggy, perhaps thats why its called guinea pig. The service is not too bad and I could always find the things i want however just find them pricey still. I however like the free delivery service they offer when you hit something like S$50. It is a great service, as i need to hold on to a super heavy bag of 12KG cat's litter up my house.
You can find most brands of cat's, dog's, small animals like guinea pig, hamster's, rabbits and fish food here. The staff there are pretty knowledgeble, however you do not get to hold or touch the pets. I always feel i must have some what a rapport with my pet first before i buy them. If we don't enjoy each other's company, then i think its tough to get along. Therefore i think physical contact is important when you wanna buy a pet. As its definitely a long term commitment. For all the PETS LOVERS out there. Cheers for being a good mummy and daddy to you sayangs........

I chanced upon Ruyi at Terminal One while waiting for my flight out, and after I've since concluded that it is probably the best (and maybe only) mid-range-and-nice-proper-Chinese-food meal option at the terminal.
The set up is similar to Chinese fast food style with self service counters (you take your own cutlery and chilli etc) and simple tables and chairs which could possibly seat about 50-60? The only thing is they dont allow luggage trolleys in their premise so you'll either have to risk stowing it outside and having to glance at it every now and then, or pick their corner table where you can put it next to you as that's considered 'outside'. There's a diligent auntie going around to make sure there's no trolley nonsense too. Cute.
Chicken and zhachai noodle ($6.90) - I didnt have this but it looks like a simple clear soup with simple ingredients which I thought was a good-enough comfort food before any flight.
Ruyi Fried noodle ($6.20) - I like this! Not oily at all, with many ingredients eg. cabbage, mini prawns, beansprouts etc. Also came in a circular take-away box which was a nice touch.
Chicken wings ($1.80 per piece) - Always looks tempting behind the counter so I had to order some. While not wow, it was quite satisfying.
Turnip cake ($0.60) - One of their signature dim sum items, and to be fair it did taste homemade. It was very soft and nicely grilled and not oily which I personally like alot.
I've heard their fried rice is supposed to be good but have not tried that yet. One highlight is of course that they use the automated wok thingy which fries the food by itself but I'm not sure if that makes a huge difference in the flavour of the food apart from being a novelty (which you cant see in any case as its in the kitchen).
Their marketing effort about screening a live video of the food in the works in high definition is definitely attractive and in fact makes everything look good. Good quality mid-range Chinese comfort food at the airport....why not?

Yoz.... This place is my childhood night time hang-outs.... Its not crowded, as you see after so long, nobody reviews it, however the place is still there.
Its a pretty nice place, concrete floors and sheltered, so no worries if it rains. Mosquitos, a few, so do bring along your sprays. Its a pretty safe place to hang out until after mid night and there are some snacks you can buy to munch down. Everything is provided for there. You could rent a rod for an hour or two, some dead see hum (cockles) or fresh meat will be given to you as bait with a small knife and plate for you to arrange your baits. Choose a nice spot with a net hanging at the side, be sure to check that the net don't belong to someone and there you are, your very own space for the next few hours.
Prawn catching is exciting... you watch the float go down and feels the nibbling of the line and then with one strong tug backwards, be sure the hook gets caught in the prawn and slowly haul it back while fighting not to loosen the hook. Prawns are usually larger in the head for better catch, some of those can get so huge that they look like baby lobsters with 2 long princers. Remove the hook and place them in the net. There you go... your first prawn catch... When u catch enough of those prawns, you could startup the Barbeque and have them eaten fresh from the stove... Its really pretty exciting and entertaining. When you finish, you could bring back the prawns in a nice bag, the trophy of your expedition.
Grabbing a cab there and back is a must. Theres a bus that goes to jurong bird park, just opposite the place however when its late, do call for a cab... waiting by the road is far and not efficient. Call a cab and you could tell them jurong bird park, they are sure to come by. Its still better then telling them.. i'm at this some place in yishun, bare ground with no road signs or some buildings you could mention...... all in all, a great place to hang for something different as the usual movies and dinner dates.....

Fancy a long weekday lunch with abit of fun... This is the place to go. With lunch served at a good price and a huge drink to go along with it, you get to have an hour or two hours of boardgame fun.
They have all sorts of boardgames there, even those I couldn't buy from takashimaya, they have it. Its really great to have so many choices of games to choose from without having to own any of them. Boardgames are like antiques. You get to show them off, have some fun with them at rare occasions when some friends gathers however antiques have a resale price and board games just grow older, dusty and tattered and torn with usage.
Playing boardgames are fun, in a very different way as computer games or sports. You don't need gym clothes or special sport equipment, you don't get to blame on the slow internet connection speed or PC speed or even a miscommunication. Board games make you come together have some real fun with real people watching each others facial expressions and reactions with each move and smelling their sweat and anxieties.
Though food was just the standard kind; fish and chips, chicken cutlet, some local fare and finger food, yet thats not the main thing.... Its a place for friends and family members to gather around, have some human fun while munching on junk without lossing a tooth or breaking a leg.
Its the place for some real fun.... If you haven't tried it.. you must find some time for it. If you already been there, then you must go there again with your friends. No friends? ask me lor..... Real Fun for REAL PEOPLE....

It really is not a very big place... somewhat tucked in between the many other buildings. One might not even thought that a safra club sits in the vacinity until an foreigner friend asked "what is that?". With no facilities like swimming pool, KTV area, restaurants and other game rooms, no wonder its called a town club. Town club are suppose to offer town stuffs.... But being in town has its perks too.. You could hang there while waiting for your friends or just to rest your legs, do somethings that you fancy while your wife or girlfriends shop nearby.
So, me and a safra member friend went to the club... Its just a place for computer games, pool and billard. Not a bad place to hang and prices are subsidised for safra members. Though there are many pool and billard places around, but its pretty great to have one that you have membership with them. Being a friend of a life safra membership holder, it is my responsibility to help him make good use of the membership and its perks.... So check out if your friend holds a safra membership, most ns man are members.... (that means... you at least got a 50% chance to meet a member)

It used to the best hangout place until i spot some cheap skinny uncles trying to show off their skinny *pride and honor* in their itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow translucent swimming trunks; or whichever pale colours they choose. They would just hang by the main pool suntanning and watching the girls tanning and walking by them, in and out of the pool to wet themselves and swerve by them again :( oh goodness........
I've even seen one with a white swimming trunks with just a tiny patch of black in front... oh for goodness sakes, stop thinking that we women and the vain showy kind.... see... man also the same.... With all that just happening by the main pool, the other parts of the pool is great.
My favourite... the lazy river... one could just rent a inflatable ring to sit on all day while the river brings you through obstacles like rainy water, caves, waterfalls and etc. Except that sometimes the calmness might be disturbed by some crazy teens doing crazy stuffs.... but.... we've all been through that stage, i ought to learn to be more understanding and try not to let them disturb my peace and fun....
The wave pool is great too.... Fancy being swept around by pool water that don't taste too salty and no sea weeds entangling your feet. I love best being on my inflated tube swept away by the waves while feeling the icy cool rain falling on my back on a hot sunny afternoon... That is the most wonderous feeling one could have.
Though the place and the facilities are already a little run down, however the place is still pretty clean and acceptably functional. Most importantly it is affordable and has a KFC for my hunger pangs....

California Fitness is somewhat an interesting place for those who love fitness as well as need a place to hang out now and then. For a good price (as compared to the other mega gyms around), cali (california in short), you get to go for various fitness classes, speed down the hill on a bike with hot music and an instructor pumping down your ears with encouragements that guarantees you walking like ducks later...
Cali do have a good range of gym equipment and the bugis outlet i pretty like it as they do have a boxing ring area for those who like to down the bags once in a while. Cardio area is downstairs and upstairs you get to pump up those muscles and have a great view of muscle marys and skinny joes... If you feel bored, this is a great place to hang out. You really get to see some regular people acting differently as you normally would see. Cranging sounds of weights banging against each other, hmphing sound of raising loads and shouts of victory as well as encouraging comments such as " touch your muscle.. Is it so hard....."
This is indeed a great place to hang out... not only to spend sometime with the body you battle with everyday, i think it somewhat is therapeutic to be invisible for a while, minding your own business and doing some workout soaking in an environment of positivity towards life.
All in all, cali is a wonderful place to hang out though the personal trainers and recruiters can be irritating when they hustle you and the steel stairway up to level 2 can be a pain in the @$$. Otherwise, all is pretty nice there...

Armed with a $20 voucher and 3 free items to redeem, we settled for a weekday dinner at the forever crowded NEX.
Tonkotsu Ramen ($13.80) - the soup's supposed to be have been brewed over 14hours on their website, and to be honest, I quite liked their soup. Rich and aromatic without being overly oily and doesnt get you jer lat. The ramen was nice and springy, but the accompanying cha su slices were too fatty for me (too little lean meat!)
Curry cheese ramen - it was some really light japanese curry, more like curry soup but I liked it. The 'cheese' was really a few strips of cheese in the soup.
Gyoza - Good! 6 hot little puffs of meat, cabbage and other stuff. Very nicely grilled.
Cold Cha Su - 5 slices of cold cha su on a bed of lettuce and silvers of radish with miso dressing. The combi was a bit too salty for me.
Chicken Karage - usual deep fried chicken, although not bad but would be something I can skip next time.
Macha ice cream - not good. Skip.
*I dont know the prices of some items as they were redemption items*
Service was your usual hassled young staff but a particular Japanese young girl provided rather a memorable experience as she was overly polite but really nice and sweet.
Probably would not mind coming back.

Wanted to go beering but decided we can try some bites at this place which we’ve walked past multiple times and found the menu quite interesting. Unfortunately, service turned out to be better than the food.
Just for a sampling of their bites:
Minced shrimp and water chestnut balls 金钱虾饼 ($9.90) - this was supposed to be one of their ‘star’ items but sadly it was far from wow. 3 coin-shaped balls of shrimp meat which tasted more like fish cake, with too finely-minced chestnut which resulted in the lack of crunch, plus some sporadic bits of green spring onions. A lackluster dish troubled by the slightly too oily batter too.
Jellyfish Salad 凉拌海蜇 ($6.90) – thicker / broader than usual slices of jellyfish tossed in some fragrant oil dressing (not sure if its sesame) and mixed with some chilli and cucumber silvers. Not enough kick in the dressing which made it very bland; we had to add some soya sauce and chilli padi in order for us to finish it.
Seafood Soup 海鲜羹 ($6.90) – This was the only good dish of the evening, with it being very similar to the usual Sour Spicy soup but minus the spiciness. Served hot and tasted like a real broth with just the right amount of starch, with an good amount of fish slices, squid, and 1 prawn.
I didn’t feel the total of $28 for 2pax was worth it, although service and the deco etc was okay. Not sure if I will return to try their other stuff though.
