Singapore really lack alternatives for pastimes. We have only Botanic Gardens, Macritchie Reservoir and Sungei Buloh. Then our weather is hot and humid making miserable to spend too much time out without feeling sweaty and sticky all over.
So when B1 suggest going to a new mall as it is connected to Somerset MRT station, we decide to check it out. Many other Singaporeans are doing the same. The food court, Food Republic brimming over its capacity. Uni-Glo must have some opening promotion. The queue are ridiculously long just to enter the store. After queuing up to get in, you have to queue up at the cashier. The deals must be amazing.
There is a small bookshop, Harris and CD/DVD store, HMV. I do not know if we ever get mall weary. There is really nothing new except for F&B. Same cookie cutter shops.

Try the Southern Ridges, Kent Ridge, Sentosa, Changi Village, Kranji farms, Keppel Island, and the four other reserviors.
Even if you live in Paris or London, there will come a point when you run out of new places to go. Maybe it takes a bit longer to reach that point.
Our malls are great for distraction! Take a day off for the malls on a weekday during off-peak hours - catch a movie, have a cup of coffee and peanut thick toast at Toast Box....life's simple joy!!
