Posted on June 23, 2013 by bookjunkie

Starbucks lattes are getting more and more dilute but I’m still excited to see one soon to open at Hougang Mall. At least I can get my coffee fix the next time I’m here. There were no other options before.

Posted on March 20, 2012 by bookjunkie

Weekend at West Coast Plaza

Posted on March 15, 2011 by bookjunkie

It’s ironical that I blog about malls, as I’m quite anti-mall and loathe clothes shopping in Singapore. Shopping for books though is a different matter and one I thoroughly enjoy. Blogging about malls makes the experience different though. I feel … Continue reading →
