The first time when I went to Vivocity, I reckon about 80 percent of the shops were open then. This time I guess almost all shops were open for business when I was here the second time.

This mall is massive. I understand since Oct 7 already over two million people, equivalent to half the population, have trooped through VivoCity.

Shopping is no trivial pursuit for Singaporeans. If you want to shop this is the mall. Even for a guy (a self proclaimed unhappy shopper) came round to some of the shops and enjoyed the trip, a little.

Now this is my kind of mall.

There's one shop I recommend highly. They have nice t-shirt, jean and price quite reasonable.

At the roof-top on the 4th floor, the whole roof-top is a garden with a very large wadding pool, overlooking the harbour.

It’s a themed foodcourt, styling itself after the Chinatown of days gone by. All the stalls are designed like olden day food stalls. The tables and chairs are the old wooden types lightly uneven as they are actually from that era. Even the food stall staff wear cheesy straw hats and Chinese robes.

If you like retro, this is the place.

(Best foodcourt design I ever come across. Food may be expensive but the decoration are priceless.)

To end our day, we watch the movie Eragon.

We must try the cinema here as it have Singapore's largest cinema multiplex with 15 screens and 2,293 seats. The cinema’s seats are rather comfortable and widely spaced apart between rows. Anyone can easily walk through without any difficulties.

As the show, Eragon....my rating only average. Compare to Lord of the Ring's standard, I somehow feel Eragon is like a “B” grade movie.
