Yesterday sent my parents back to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, at the same time; I went JB City Square wto have a quick shopping which just next to the custom house exit to Singapore. I was too long stay in Singapore and did not go anywhere, now I found a big different in this shopping centre!
JB City Square was huge, I would say the area could be as big as Vivo City in Singapore (just personal feeling).The corridors of every floor were very big! I never ever find any shopping in Singapore having such big comfortable corridor! Maybe Singapore’s property was very high hence every space have to be fully made used. I never ever been Hong Kong, can’t compare it with Singapore but at least I found it here.Ah! Found a Singapore Tourism Promotion booth here!Almost every floor you can find restaurants, eating places, coffee stalls, not like most Singapore’s shopping mall, the food and beverages places were nicely arranged only I at the top floor or ground floor of the shopping mall.
I agreed such tactic that made the shopper “being forced to passing by every floor” then can reach their eating place but personally feel more interesting to see every floor got eating place could be more humanized, more comfortable, more freedom.
Imagine while you sit down and enjoying your food, you still can have your “eye shopping”! Instead of just seeing the whole floor was crowded with people who queuing for their food or viewing only food stalls.
Dinner and Dance/ Party/ Event entrance? Nope! It is an entrance to another portion of the shopping mall, the youngster’s area! Down there was selling lots youngster’s stuffs, something like Singapore’s Bugis Street, but much much more than that! Because this portion having more restaurants and eating places! That’s a lot more for the shopper to explore!I was very enjoying shopping inside City Square Johor Bahru but not enjoying the scene outside, which is the road next to it, the road to the custom house to Singapore because this road was always having traffic jam, especially on public holiday.Interesting motorcycles parking area just nest to the road.
As an ambidextrous caricaturist, I do caricature drawing since 1990 in Singapore. Einstien from Norway is the pioneer caricaturist with certain years before me, then follow by Eric Ng, Saik, Poon Ee Way whose were my senior. Chong Jit Leong, which known having shop at Yishun area doing full time portrait and caricature around that time as well if not wrong. Not much people doing caricature for events fringe art during that period. Nowadays, more than 22 active caricaturists in the industry.

A Morning Scene of Clarke Quay
Yesterday morning passing by Clarke Quay to Audio House looking for some electrical stuffs, suddenly inspired by the morning quiet scene of Clarke Quay, I decided take some pictures. I found a different feeling about “the crowded and busy place that which in its resting time” and how does it looks like?
I decided to put this series pictures here instead in my another blog http://mobilesphoto.blogspot.com, because Clarke Quay is a hotspot of entertaining place which suit the content here.Mama’s Caribbean Bar was having cute props!I like the color scheme, the chairs, the design and the display.Nice angle isn’t it? Heehee!A clinic at Clarke Quay? Nope, it was a bar and dining place!! It was crowded at its operation hours during evening.A dramatically look corridor.Hooters Bar!!"Kill Bill" movie scene? Nope!It is "Forbiden City", a pub and dining place which is "Indochine"! A very dramatically design and setting.
