Shopping centres in Singapore used to be places that serve the very purpose of women's (and some say men) favourite activity; shopping.
Time has changed and shopping complexes are no longer just squeezing as many retail outlets as they can and have instead gracefully included relaxation corners, kids' playground and in the case of nex, even a dog run.
Known as skygarden @ nex, this open space rooftop concept is one of the biggest in Singapore.
Inclusion of retail outlets is inevitable given the large area although they are limited to outlets like tuition centre and furnishing company like King and King Wong (a damn nice place to shop aside from IKEA).
The public library is also appropriately located on this quiet level; this would also help to save the taxpayers some money as prime spots on the lower levels can be so expensive in land-scarce Singapore.
Mini water park - always the kids' favourite!
The water looked so enticing!!! I can just imagine myself not wanting to go home if i am an eight year old again. There wasn't such thing when i was eight!
Nonetheless, it was still a joy seeing young children enjoying themselves. I should bring my bulldog cheeks niece and bratty nephew here in the future.
This water feature is common yet i always feel that it is the main highlight. There is a similar one in the Singapore Zoo but that one in the zoo is HUGE.
Next up is this K9 park for the canines (duh)!
Before Rubee passed away, i have frequently mentioned that i should bring him here so that he can enjoy the facilities without the grass (which is a hotpot for ticks).
Well, i didn't manage to.
Anyway, there is also a dog cafe by the name of doggie style; not exactly the best name given its sexual reference. However, the most important thing is that dogs are allowed to dine together with their owners!
In summary, the skygarden is a nice place to chill out and it's not hard to know why so many new shopping centres have incorporated the same concept.
