VivoCity ...
It was after work and wifey was in Suntec, so we decided to drop by VivoCity for a look last night. The place wasn't officially open till 1 Dec 2006, but already almost every other person has been there. As it was a mid-weekday evening, we thought there shouldn't be much people ... unfortunately that was not the case! General_
After spending about 2 hours there the following is my comments:
The Bad
1. Shops somehow don't seem to be organised logically; i.e. food, fashion, etc. seem to be mixed up
2. Large open spaces, although suppose to make one feel more relaxed, does not help if you are shopping. You actually have to walk further going from shop to shop.
3. The crowd. I guess the crowd should thin out a few months after the official opening, but now its pretty crowded. Even though it was a week night, we couldn't get a spot in Food Republic and the queues at the popular eateries were super long.
The Good
1. I like the "SkyGarden". It is a good place to sit down in the evening, relax, chat and enjoy the scenery and breeze.
Anyway, it was still an interesting evening. In fact, we actually met quite a few people we knew during that short space of 2 hours (one of my friends, an NUS classmate and a relative). Which brings me now to the more interesting part ... ;-)
The relative which we met is my wifey's uncle, who is usually very friendly. So yesterday we spotted him with a young lady which we initially thought was our cousin (i.e. his daughter). Went we went up to him to say hi, he was quite shocked to see us. He muttered a quick "Oh, Hi!" and quickly scurried away into the crowd. It was then that we realised that the young lady was not our cousin! Wifey and I were both caught by surprise. Who was that lady and why did he have to behave so suspiciously? Hmmm ...
BTW, Cactus if you are reading this, I already know what you are going to say!

What i am going to say is don't jump to conclusion so early.
I don't know how old is your uncle and also you don't know what is the relationship with the young lady. But the fact that he scurried away makes him look suspicious.
People are weird. Our interpretations vary widely.
Does a male and female having dinner together = sthg? Why is it that they can have lunch together but dinner is some other meaning?
It's all in the mind of the 3rd & 6th aunties-type of colleagues and friends.
Let's try not to fall into that category.
He should be around 60+ and his daughter is the same age as my wife and yourself. He is normally very friendly to us and likes to chat with us when we see him. The fact that he only said 2 words in 2 seconds and scurried away almost without eye contact, doesn't put him in good light.
Wifey was thinking if she should inform her mum (i.e. the uncle's sister) of our encounter but I told her not to. Don't want more people jumping to conclusions.
Anyway even if what we are thinking is true, nothing much we can really do anyways.
Looking at the situations in today's context, best is not comment at all. Coz you never know if it will happen to you @ mid-life crisis or happen to your loved one and impacts you.
But if he is indeed doing sthg wrong, then choosing VivoCity for dating is indeed unwise :p
To change the subject completely, can I recommend the Adidas shop in Vivo City?
It is big and filled with very friendly people. ;)
Oh yes, does anyone else besides me find the Vivocity logo slightly Phallic with the "O" at the end as the tip?
Is Adidas the current "In" sports brand?
Anyway all the sports shops are the same. Full of over-prized sports products.
I am waiting for the new brands.
Wifey and I went into the Adidas store but didn't see anyone familiar ... :-)
