EASTPOINT MALL IS CLOSING FOR REVAMP !
Hii... and im back to blogging, although i know that this blog is officially dead.. but i dont feel like deleting it because it contains a lot of my memories and childhood... so back to topic, recently i just realised that the shopping mall that i grew up with since i was a baby till now its closing down for a major renovation, or you can call it revamp, heard from the residents living in simei that it will be a complete change of the shopping mall itself... but then im just not sure it will be demolished because its only a 1 and a half year revamp and i presume they wont demolish because its in the heart of simei... to be honest, i really miss the shopping mall because whenever i need anything, the first thing it came to my hand will be eastpoint mall... afterall, i grew up here and i get used to the environment already. i know that eastpoint has undergo a renovation before which i have forgotten the year but then before that i remembered there was a movie on the 6 floor and they had a pet safari which is really huge with a aquarium ! but then since the renovation, i just dont understand why they did remove the movie now but i think its really stupid because theres simply no more entertainment in eastpoint causing a drop in customers throughout the years and actually changed it to what we now know as the learning hub of the east... and the pet safari has changed to a smaller shop which i think is quite dissapointing... anyways, i basically find that they actually built the mall in the wrong place because its not somewhere in the CBD area and most important thing is that its in the middle of the residential area which i dont think that youngsters nowadays will actually shop at eastpoint mall... plus there didnt even have macdonald, and retail shops like youngsters really like to go such as topshop, topman? uniqlo? but then that does not even matter now cause its closing... so yah.. i will definetely miss the mall and i really do hope that eastpoint will have some entertainment probably can attract some customers for both the young and the old... especially schools for eg. ITE college east? because i am from ITE simei and whenever we have break, people would rather go to expo or changi city point to eat rather than simei and i really find that pathetic... moving on which is the designs... i seriously find that if the mall where to undergo the revamp now... they seriously got to work on their exterior first... no offence but, i personally find that the image of the mall is the most important thing and based on the mall itself, its really out of the image compared to other malls like maybe years ago already? For the interior, i guess the atrium is too small? and really.... the floors got to change and the designs inside is like omg im speechless... what i hope to see in the new revamp eastpoint mall will maybe have more stylish trendy retail shops? rent some shops as i suggested and maybe fast food like mac and maybe keep long john silvers... as for DAISO, PLEASE KEEP IT and GONG CHA! more attractive stuff and maybe cinema? The mall is really in need of renovation... especially on the decors and the designs itself ! Its not the number of shops that concerns... it is what the shops are actually selling so that it can attract ! so far i know is that the revamp will start at 1 march 2013 and it will end at october 2014.. well... FRASERS CENTREPOINT ! PLEASE SAVE EASTPOINT MALL ! :(
