After a week of desk work, I'm once again excited for the weekend, as it’s the time when I can fully dedicate myself to exploring new places for the Hive community. I usually reserve Saturdays and Sundays for visiting new locations, but with the recent unpredictability of the weather, I’ve realized that Friday nights can also be a great opportunity—provided the weather cooperates.
This evening, I visited the Paya Lebar area to check out the holiday-themed display they set up there. It’s one of the city’s livelier spots, known for its vibrant atmosphere, open food court, clusters of shopping malls, and modern architecture.
I took the MRT to get there, and the station exit conveniently leads directly to the entrance of the PLQ Mall. While the mall might seem like an ordinary shopping center, the exterior catches my attention. The façade is made of aluminum panels with integrated lighting effects. From a distance, it resembles the skin of a reptile—or at least, that’s how imaginative I tend to be when it comes to building designs, lol.
In the central part of the mall is an open area with a high canopy that creates the illusion of being in an outdoor space. There are food stalls with dining tables, giving it the feel of an al fresco dining experience.
I appreciate this type of development, where commercial and office buildings are clustered around the MRT station. They also introduce amenities that create a welcoming environment, making it an ideal hanging spot.
I tried one of the stalls here that sells a Korean version of square-shaped pizza, which has become a popular dish in this area. I think the ambiance of the place also enhanced my enjoyment of the food. A good environment can greatly influence one’s dining experience, complementing the quality of the food itself.
During this time of year, they transform the center of the area into a holiday-themed display, with a massive Christmas tree as the centerpiece.
The great thing about this kind of display is that it instantly brings life to the place and makes it more exciting. The lights and colors contribute to the joyful vibe of the area.
After having a great time taking photos of the display, I headed to another mall called SingPost Centre. It’s the newest addition to the cluster of malls in the area. Like the others, it exudes a modern vibe, and its large central hall was also decorated with a holiday-themed display.
They are currently hosting bazaars that seem to be gaining popularity among the patrons of this shopping mall as well.
One of the fun things to do in a mall like this is visit Timezone and play some of their games. I'm not really good at them, but they’re quite fun to play. These are the types of games I don’t take seriously, as they’re more of a way to pass the time. After a quick play, I decided to head home and call it a day.
To wrap up, it’s always refreshing to explore new places, especially when they offer both exciting experiences and a great atmosphere. Whether it’s enjoying unique food, discovering festive displays, or just unwinding, there's always something to appreciate in these vibrant spaces. I look forward to more adventures and sharing them with you in the future!

Seeing Christmas decorations around feels insane until I remember that we're already halfway through November, somehow.
Time flies here 😅 i do look forward to this holiday as it's the one that is most memorable to me.
Nice place to visit. My favourite is to hit the Jollybee outlet in the area to have some nice fried chicken to end the week
