Vivo City [Vee-Vou Cee Tee]
NOT Viv-Vou-See-Tee ah!
Yesterday afternoon, I checked out the newly opened Vivo City with my FYP members. The mall was surprisingly crowded on a hazy weekday - this was also the first time I’ve seen a packed train carriage from Harbourfront mrt!
Never before man.
Half of the occupants aren’t even opened yet. Some were still in the midst of renovation; others were rushing the last minute touch up in order to capture the coming weekend crowd. You can smell the excitement (odeur de plaster et paint) in the air, and we can actually observe behind-the-scene work of each brand/store/zone.
Anyway, what’s a trip to Vivocity without checking out the giant so-called swimming pool on the roof top?! We were gravely disappointed to find out that it’s not really a swimming pool POOL but a pool deep enough to soak your feets in. I don’t quite understand the need for a vast pool area when there are not much water features. Is it even cost effective to maintain it? I have an inkling they did it for fengshui.
And what’s with hanging a black man figure on this super elevated chin-up bar thing in the middle of the pool? I thought it would probably quirt out water from the ‘front’, I walked over to see the figure, and there’s nothing there! And then I saw the joins on the shoulders of the figure. Mabbe it will do some synchronized gymnastic moves or chin ups with the flow of the water or lighting…. Someone please tell me what is it for.
One thing, why is there a need to put a ‘bar’ besides each potted plant at the rooftop? Will the thing automatically spritz water at evening time? Or is it for the management to chain the pots to the bar to prevent theft? Until I find out the real purpose of that bar thingy, I think they are ridiculous.
And ya, I also spotted a dead ringer to my ex that I actually walked towards him and his girlfriend to double check. Sorry to sound so ditzy, but after I realised I made a mistake, I returned to my girls and gushed about him. “Omg , that guy! He’s so handsome! Totally my type! Look bloody like my ex can?! He have the rosy/fair skin, tinted specs, single eyelids, plush lips! And the hair! The HAIR! So pretty, look just like Terence Cao in that 9 o’clock show! Even the dressing is the same as the ex lorh! But he wasn’t so meaty like him, but still!!!! He’s totally my type can?! I don’t wanna talk to him lah, I am a very shy girl, you don’t know meh? hahahahhaaha” giggle giggle gush one more time
And then I checked my email later, I received an email from a friend, and she actually took 2 picture of him and send me! OMG.
Tell me I’m not insane.
