Raffles Place

What is the common impression of Raffles Place? Packed with white-collared working class, "bustling" with life especially during weekdays lunch hours, and full of S.T.R.E.S.S in the air?

To me, probably I am already used to such sights, that I do not find it "suffocating" to breathe the 'Raffles Place air'. In comparison I find Orchard Road is more stressful than Raffles Place cuz I seldom patronize this shopping paradise. Instead, recently I have taken a different view of this place where I have to call it my 2nd Home…

During lunch hours, there is always something new, something vibrant, something entertaining going on at the Raffles Place open space. I have seen many creative advertising gimmicks being displayed there, which consists of artistes roadshow, creative signboards, "walking" advertisements, makeshift marquee tents -- All selling fresh ideas! Truthfully I am amazed by the "creativity" in terms of Singapore context. I am always thought S'pore is quite rigid, orh-bit ("traditional") and not have such creative advertising ideas! So I think I was wrong.. Haha..

Also recently I have found a few of breakfast choices near the MRT station. So, I can have different kinds of breakfast should I get tired of having home-spread bread.. It kinda brighten up my working-day a little la..

This is my recent perception of Raffles Place.
