Chijmes

I was so excited (and yes nervous about not knowing again where I was going) I left early to go to Vivo City Mall and browsed for a few minutes getting oriented. I cannot tell you how huge these malls are! In all my years of going to malls (or trying NOT to go to malls) I have never seen such HUGE ones! Enormous does not even begin to describe them.
Anyway, the shopping person I am, I saw a beautiful scene out a back window I decided to check out. Imagine my surprise when I wandered out into this:

There was a cruise ship with the gondola to Sentosa Island above it: 




 

Do you want to know where all the US train box cars come from?


 

Is this the Merlion I keep hearing about?

 


If so, that thing is HUGE!
 
 
Look at all the building going on - they say Casino's. What a way to mess up a place.

After my adventurous day today, I came home preparing to cook, and a handsome man comes in and says we are going to Chijmes to eat supper with the guys! Go me, I don't have to cook :-)



So we went to the hotel to wait on a couple of guys and I got to look at the moon pie sales area:




Finally, we made it to Chijmes where we ate and the guys are talked about work stuff:




I am in perfect view of our security:



 

Actually someone very important was getting married at the Chijmes Cathedral and every cop in Singapore must have been there - and their metal detectors. It was complete with the paparazzi out side, but I was a little intimidated with my 'tiny' camera and their mighty ones!

 

So I distracted myself and played with my camera:



On the way back to the Grand Plaza Hotel, I couldn't resist taking a few pictures:




And I am going to park my car here why?



This is me trying to convince the guys to break up the party - or rather the conference of the night:


 

Maybe it is actually them trying to get me to leave them alone :-)
"TAXI?"
