ICON @ Bugis

This afternoon, I embarked on one of my wherever-it-takes-me-I'll-go journeys. Essentially, these are just walking around aimlessly, checking out whatever new place on the way.

However, today, I was specifically looking for ICON @ Bugis. ICON is a new shopping retreat somewhere in Bugis. 90 over shops set in an industrial shophouse. Kinda Hong Kong inspired, and first of its kind in Singapore. Opens today.

But I didn't find it. The feeling was slightly off, so I didn't find the place. I remember getting the flyer with the map on it on Christmas Eve. Then I threw it away after reading. So based on really vague memory, I searched for the place to no avail. So sad lah...

Instead, I ended up at the Concourse, which is such a bad place. I've always thought that they had cool stuff over there, but it seems I'm wrong. So boring!

Then I headed to Raffles City, hoping to get a bright and cheery looking long-sleeved shirt from ProjectShopBloodBrothers. But then I just couldn't bear to part with S$77.70 GST inclusive. Yet that multi-candy-coloured shirt screams, "YOU"RE THE ONE!".

In the end, I just bit my lip and forced myself outta the shop. Well, it wasn't all that bad, because I saw a couple of girls giving out flyers for ICON @ Bugis. Immediately, I went over and asked for one. The girl looked really happy when I asked one from her. It's really no wonder when you consider the fact that people are just ignoring them.

So when I came along and voluntarily asked for one, she got pretty bemused. Rude people...

It seems like towards the end of the year, all the rude people throng out onto the streets, spreading their rudeness like a plague. Is it the air or what? I've seen so many horrible people prowling the streets over the past week or so. It's so freaky.

Anyways, back to ICON @ Bugis. I'm all revved up and rip and raring to charge into the place as soon as I can.

My hopes are high,
My list is long,
Pockets full of money,
Until ICON came along.

Wahahaha!... :D
