Singapore + Neighbours! :D
Titled: lucky plaza
Saturday, October 25, 2008

This pic was a group photo?!? at lucky plaza. Let me give you some background info first.
lucky plaza is a shopping centre located at orchard Road in SG. There is a wide range of shops selling Filipino products, electronics, shoes, sports goods. Lucky plaza is a hub for the Filipinio community in Singapore, which can be observed on Sundays in particular when Filipina domestic workes congregate in and around the vicinity for snacks.

True enough, there was Filipino stuff although there was still overwhelming urbanisation of Singapore flavour. There were many filipino words, although i cannot confirm as the look quite similar to other languages like thai etc and i can't typed it out on this computer.

my group took a walk around the shopping mall and we found out quite alot of things. Arts and Crafts and their unique cuisines were present, except, it isn't around the main entrance. All the shops that sells exotic filipino merchandises all seems to be hiding in the furthest and smallest corridors! The GP Asian restaurant there (somewhere on the 4th floor?) serves filipino food as well as thai meals too. Because of lack of time, we didn't manage to buy anything to sample. At the arts and crafts stall, i don't remember exactly what i saw, but it was all so colourful, with stuff like cloth, little human models, flags etc. But seriously, along the main corridors, most of the supposingly filipinos shop just sell ordinary necessities which you can find in NTUC. i guess thats the predominant economic activity there.

And i don't understand all the filipino words! -.-

And walking around from what i seen, most of the filipina ladies are shy, conservative and industrious. But after researching around the net, i found out that there was some filipina women that sell their bodies at lucky plaza. urgh! how disgusting. Perhaps these people are just trying to make extra quick cash so as to support their family.

overall, i think this was really a eye-opening. I didn't know that lucky plaza was a hangout place for the filipinos! i thought it was just some regular shopping mall.
