Vivocity at Singapore welcomes Christmas! They’ve built this 30m tall Christmas Tree at the Skypark, which is decorated with magnificent lights if you happen to visit it at night. You can always visit it when you happen to drop by Singapore during this festive period (which includes insane X’mas shopping sprees!). Here’s another shot of the Christmas Tree, taken from a further location on the Skypark, featuring Vivocity’s signature wading pool in the foreground:
It was evening so the view on the Skypark was simply breathtaking. You get to see how little kids enjoy themselves in the wading pool, playfully splashing water with their siblings; and you get to see pairs of couples enjoying the evening view as well! At the Skypark you have this really panoramic view of the waterfront area, and in the future you can even admire the beauty of the upcoming Integrated Resorts at Sentosa Island.
Oh and I’ve got this interesting photo to share! The setting sun paints a long, stretch shadows on the people at the promenade area 3 floors below the Skypark:
And before I left Vivocity, I didn’t forget to drop by Coffee Bean and savour their fantastic mudpie again! It is really delicious, so you have 101 reasons to try it out and no reasons not to eat it.
Hope you love this update! Will be back soon, so tune in folks! :razz: see you!
ommgg mudpie ^_^ you should have seen the christmas tree at ngee city. its abt 3-4 stories tall
gosh…i love all the pics u had taken. The angle, the contrast and the colour seem so perfect. They were just so nice! =) Btw, the mudpie looks very tempting…pls kindly offer me a bucket to contain my drool.. hahaz!
your photography skills are getting really good!! wish i knew how to take photos like that!!
anyway…can i have a bite on that mudpie?? hahahaha :D
Hmm, Christmas in Brunei, sigh.
I love your Shadows photo, damn, it looks even better when the wording you added. =) Like the way you transform the text, =p
And I like the ship/boat in the third shot too! Lovely! =)
But the mud pie looks a bit too mud-like for me, LoL! =D Is it VERY sweet? All chocs~ =O
very nice photos indeed and speaking of coffee bean..have you tried their Black Forest ..not the cake but the iced coffee..very nice ;)
Rei: Oh yea the X’mas tree at Ngee Ann City is pure awesome! I was there a few days before I went to Vivo, but too bad I forogt to bring along my camera (because I thought I’ll just be dropping by Kinokunia to check out some bestsellers)… anyway mudpie is of course the best damn thing :)
denise: Hey thanks for the compliment! They’re just average… of course I did pump up the contrast and saturation a little! Without photoshop my photos are just so dead. Hmmph. LOL I even if I have a bucket now I can’t help you! Just drool over your keyboard… but make sure it doesn’t spill onto the floor! :mrgreen: haha!
Michelle: Haha not actually. It’s just the same… they look nice because I’ve got the loveliest programme on earth called photoshop! Yea you surely can… here’s a piece of mudpie for you!
IngSiang: Haha yea it’s my favourite photo in this post! Ahh wells what I did was just to type out the text, enlarge it (transform) and then rasterise the text layer. And then you distort the text layer (transform, again), and since there are tiles (they work as grids) on the floor you can distort the layer such that its perspective matches. And you’re done! Anyway mudpie is called mudpie because it looks… muddy? I’m not sure about that, but what I’m 120% sure is that it tastes great, so why not give it a try?
medca: Hey thanks for dropping by again! It’s really nice of you to comment so often :razz: I’ve never tried Black Forest (but since you recommended it I’ll give it a try!)… I love their Belgian Chocolate! You should try it :)
Reading this entry reminded of me of the gigantoid Christmas tree in Ngee Ann City last year. In fact, I remember it being so big that I didn’t see it.. until I found myself face to face with a Christmas ball that was slightly bigger than my head. Hahaha! Can you imagine being around something that is so big that you overlook it? Small, I can understand. But big? Now that’s a phenomenon!
I haven’t been to Vivo City in a while, but if I do before the end of the Christmas season I’ll make sure to pop by and take a look at that Christmas tree.
I don’t think we have it here, you know, Brunei.. -.o”"
Marz: Yea, Ng Ann City always builds this uber-big X’mas tree everyday without fail. It was really big, and the decorations on it are awesome too, especially the lights and hanging reflective spheres.
IngSiang: Hmmm anyway you can find mudpies elsewhere too! I know NYDC serves great mudpies as well! Yummy. Or you can try them out when you go to Singapore or Malaysia :) fret not.
i’ve never tried that mudpie before!!! i always order ice blended chocolate when i go to coffee bean. Try it!! I mean it’s nice if u hate coffee hahaha cause i do!! anyways, i like that christmas tree, very unique!!
wow, i don’t think i’ve seen a 2 tiered christmas tree like that before.. pretty cool.
I was just at Vivo a couple of days ago- how’s that i missed seeing the tree?
Gorgeous photos as always, Teddy. I especially love the one titled “Sunset” :)
like huge huge xmas trees xD
Like Ing Siang said, Brunei’s Xmas atmosphere is so DEAD!
Melissa: Ooh ice blended chocolate huh… well besides mudpie maybe you would love to try out their Belgian Chocolate ice blended drink too! It’s one of their best beverage, I think! Well I don’t hate coffee, I just don’t drink them since they fail to keep me awake. I’ll definitely give ice blended chocolate a try, since you successfully persuaded me!
letti: At my first sight the X’mas tree looked weird because there’s this big wide gap somewhere in the middle, but after seeing photos of it lighting up at night, I start to love the unique design!
thecoffeesnob: Woah, you’re back in Singapore already? Welcome back! Anyway hmmm it’s near the Skypark exit beside Food Republic. It’s tucked behind a covered walkway, and since it’s all boarded up at the bottom (there are loads of high voltage cables!), many people tend to miss it. Thanks for the compliment! The sunset photo is one of my favourite, although it’s a little overexposed on the left.
lunaticgal: You’re back from your vacation! Welcome home :) anyway I love them too, but putting them up and taking them down can be a BIG headache! Haha!
Nonnie: Really? OMG I’m really sorry to hear that, but you can always go Singapore or Malaysia (or other nearby countries) to soak up the X’mas atmosphere and mood!
