It all started when we decided we were bored of the shopping centres in town and that we should explore the west side of Singapore. The Jurong side. Where I always get lost in.
Though a mere 5-10 minutes ride away via the expressway with no traffic, we've never ventured there. Until today. We drove to JEM and waited a like 5 minutes to get into the carpark and there was already a queue just before 6pm.
I was quite amazed as how big JEM was. But each individual shop wasn't as impressive in size. Too many shops/brands housed under one roof. And there were too many people!

Then we walked further out and realised that JEM is connected Westgate, another new shopping centre. I prefer Westgate to JEM. I felt that it doesn't seem as cramp, and the decor and ambiance of the whole building seem better.
One reason for families to flock to Westgate would be for the Westgate Wonderland, an impressive 11,000 square foot outdoor playground located at Level 4. I doubt however, I would return anytime soon with the girls to play. The place was overloaded with screaming kids of all ages, and parents all sitting at the side playing with their own devices. I just cannot be assured of the girls' safety with them running around by themselves, least they get pushed down by the crazy older kids. Seriously, no way. The only places at the playground which were relatively deserted was the rock climbing area and the toddler play area. Well, at least the girls had less than 10 minutes of fun at these 2 areas. But I cant wait to come back to this place to try out the different food places! Yay! No more Great World City and Vivocity! Haha!
