[Author Corner] Topman FOC Phone Charging to Peter Pan-Themed Balloon Sculpture

One of blue Sunday and I was sick of my study i.e. lecture notes and webcast, so I decided to have a window-shopping. Shopping reminded me of CapitaVoucher that I received from my MiE friends who gave it as my birthday gift. Intended to use it, but at the end of the day I did not use, because I bought my stuff in Haji Lane which is absolutely not owned by CapitaLand! :)

But there are some interesting info that I found today.

1. Topman outlets have free-of-charge (FOC) Phone Charger!

---

So yup, if you are happened to run out of battery in town and you have nowhere to charge your phone, now you know the trick. Simply browsing around in Topman while you charge your phone. They locked it for you I think because I saw the locked on their compartments. I am not so sure what type of phone that are chargeable in their stations, but supposedly they have iPhone and universal charger (phones with USB). Well, the ION Orchard outlets sure have it (the one that I went to), not sure about other outlets. And in my opinions their trick to engage their customers to stay a bit longer in the outlets might be an effective way to get more revenue while on their side they stretch a little bit more for electricity bill.

2. Shops in Illuma are closing down?

---

No ideas whats the reason behind almost 90% of shops in Illuma Shopping Mall are closing down, but I do agree that I do not really see much people do their shopping in Illuma, especially if you compare it to Bugis Junction and Bugis Street (human-flooded place). But knowing almost 90% of shops in Illuma closing down, I am kinda sad, coz I had no chance to check-out their moving-out sales! But the ugly truth is I am cutting down my expenses budget, so yup, the regret thought is not really that big. The moving-out shops that I witnessed today was PUMA, Recoil and few other stores which I can not really remember the names.

3. Peter Pan-Themed Balloon Sculpture

---

When I walked around Illuma, I saw the crowd at the basement level. Out of my curiosity as a human, I checked it out. Well, apparently there is a balloon sculpture! It is my first time saw a balloon sculpture by myself, and it is pretty nice and I am quite amazed with the artists who done it. The theme for the sculpture is Peter Pan! One of reasons why there were so many kids and young girls around it. Oh there was also an artist who did the simple balloon sculpture for the visitors, but there was long queue, like what Singapore always have if there is free-stuff, so I give it a miss.
