Mr. Northpoint
I used to think that Northpoint was such a run down place.
BUT..
I almost spent a quarter of my life there.
Slacking at Mcdonald's after school since Sec 3 (even now when I have nothing to do), stealing from Cold Storage and even Popular with my partners-in-crime (eh u guys know who u are!), hehehe, hanging out at Time Zone with a cardigan over my school uniform, getting caught for underaged smoking, etc.
I thought that Northpoint was such a budget place that nobody would wanna shop there except for aunties, uncles, lians, bengs, xiao mei meis, xiao didis, mats and minahs!
Really got nothing that caught my eye what!! Royal Sporting House? The Body Shop? Jean Accessories? Mini Toons? Hang Ten?
Why can't they have M)phosis? BYSI? Charles & Keith?
I felt so happy when the management decided to renovate the whole of NP and extend the amount of shops! YAY. I can have a better shopping experience in Yishun then.
But I have never realised that how NP was so important to me (sounds emo). When Regina wanted to get eyelid stickers, when I wanted to get a 'Precious Moments' wrapper, when I wanted to go for foot massage..
THERE IS NO WHERE A WALKING DISTANCE FOR ME TO GET ALL THESE! =(
Worse still, no Cold Storage but only NTUC which is sometimes quite useless.
Now I realise how important NP is to me.. When the renovation is done, I will have to spend more money on my barang barangs because the prices will surely increase! I'd rather you remain the old old NP..
The 应有尽有 budget shopping mall is gone!
