Getting to OneKM shopping mall from Paya Lebar MRT

OneKM shopping mall is fast growing onto me. It is a new mall in Paya Lebar, set for official opening at the end of Nov. At first I thought it's just going to be another mall. You know, just another mall...

But it turns out that my friend who visited before me was right. It was quite an interesting mall with some new shops that enhances the entire experience. It's not like, just another mall anymore. 

Alright, so before I get into the details, I'm sure you all need to know how to get to the mall. 

Getting out of Paya Lebar MRT station's exit A, turn right. Walk down the stretch that leads you to Cheers convenient store.


You will see Singapore Post Centre on your left (opposite the road), Cheers convenient store on your right. Turn right.


You will be led exactly onto this path and just keep walking straight. If you can't wait, just look up. You will see blue scaffolding towering in near distance. That is the residences (under construction) above OneKM. That is your destination.


Keep walking straight and you will see Tanjong Katong Complex. Keep walking straight.


Tada.. You see the residences and the orange balloon? The dotted facade and nice christmas decorations, that's OneKM. The entire walk took me about 5 minutes easy walk.


Nicely lit christmas decorations at the entrance. There's a Starbucks at this entrance!

Vlog #14 - 100Doraemon Expo at JB

An avid fan of Doraemon, how could I miss any stop of the 100Doraemon Expo in Malaysia right? That's right! After going for its stop in KL (http://thewriteperson.blogspot.sg/2014/03/vlog-7-100-doraemon-expo-in-kl.html), I've been waiting for its next stop.


So this time, I made my way over the causeway to Johor Bahru to spend some quality time with my favourite anime character.


The biggest difference from its KL stop is the much lesser visitors. While it (probably) doesn't bodes too well for the organiser, it is definitely a plus for fans like me who's able to take the photos one by one! I was unable to even take a proper photo of any one doraemon at its KL stop without waiting in line.


This time, there are some new exhibits and also the stamping stations. You can purchase a limited edition stamping booklet from one of the staff at the stamping station and stamp away. Makes a pretty good momento.


The expo will be on till 4 Jan 2015 at RM25 per adult entry. Go before it's too late!

Every stroke and detail that seemed as though it came out of an architect's hand. Mesmorising.
