Uniquely Singapore is now Your Singapore....

The controversial "Uniquely Singapore" branding that first sparked off debate on whether Singapore truly offers unique things or experiences which are not available in the rest of the world has been adapted recently to the new marketing direction "Your Singapore". The new branding's focus is to appeal to the increasingly new group of travellers whom no longer rely on tour agencies to explore a country but rather travellers who wants to be able to personalise their very own experience.

"Your Singapore" is a bit too simple for Mr. Robotic's liking. Only time will tell...

The website http://www.yoursingapore.com/ is as what the branding says, allowing travellers to plan their itineraries. Not only is it useful for tourists but locals like Mr. Robotic can consider the recommended places as a refreshing change to going to familiar places like the malls etc.

So, where did Mr. Robotic explored this 2010?
The place where travellers first arrive (usually), the Singapore Changi Airport of course!

Mr. Robotic had his lunch
slash dinner at the Seoul Garden Hotpot. The hotpot is more like a side for Mr. Robotic as his was busy enjoying his rib eye beef bibimbap. Alas, Mr. Robotic attacked the bibimbap before getting a picture of it. So enjoy the rest of the pictures of the hotpot instead...
The Miso soup pot prior to the cooking and the appetizers and sauces that comes with the set...
Clams, mussels and prawns...

Cabbage, carrots, fried yams and the chicken meat dumplings...

The restaurant is awfully quiet on a Saturday afternoon. This seems to the same trend with most of the other restaurants at the airport. Hence, while it is a bit out of the way for Mr. Robotic now, Mr. Robotic is tempted to try out the other restaurants once the Circle Line Mrt Station at Paya Lebar is open. Should be a good place to chill...

So what is the after meal activities? Mr. Robotic had heard how Terminal 3 of the airport has been branded to be a greener airport but Mr. Robotic has never even been to Terminal 3 before (yes it is sad that Mr. Robotic
rarely has the opportunity to go overseas on a vacation), so it is the best time to explore!


Nicely designed recycling bins...

Interesting water structure in the transit area... Mr. Robotic wished he had a transit pass to explore it further...

Relaxing transit area...

Mr. Robotic can't help but admires the travellers sipping tea at the cosy cafes and wonders when he is able to be at that stage where he can have such a relaxing lifestyle... Ganbatte!!
