The City of Shopping, Shopping & More Shopping

Central Business District skyline from Marina Square Foodcourt

The Singapore Flyer (all tickets for its premiere on Valentine's Day 2008 has been snapped up).
Road from ECP (East Coast Parkway Highway) into the Marina centre (where great shopping is!)

The shopping begins. And we are in a frenzy to buy most of our stuff before the Great Singapore Sale ends, and of course, like most Singaporeans, to avoid the GST hike. TS is right, the increase is small, but not to a kiasu Singaporean like me. While moving around town, we soaked in the Singapore skyline. We make a conclusion yesterday.

Singapore is fast becoming a globalised city but are the people ready for it? Are we ready to be gracious and socially aware, are we ready to be civic-conscious?

If Singapore were to succeed as a globolised nation, we need to work on that. And this time, no more national campaigns please, Education is the key.

Singapore is changing rapidly. Everything is moving very fast now. There will even be an F1 race in Singapore soon and the track will be around the Marina area.
