Millennia's Walk

This rather blurred image was taken with my mobile one weekend. Millennia's Walk is probably the first American-style mall in Singapore. The long corridor with shops lined at both sides. I recall seeing these suburban malls when I was attending university in the US in the mid-eighties.

From the lyrics from Snog's 'Shop'

'We're gonna shop 'til we drop
We're gonna shop 'til we drop

When the bargain bins full of useless things
Turn, and bring this world down"


All hail to the consumerist culture of today! Hail Mammon! All hail the gadgets, the i-Pods, the branded shoes, the glittering limited edition DVD boxsets, the mammoth home entertainment systems, slick mobile phones, latest gaming consoles...

Consumerists, get set, reaaaaaaady, GOOOOOOOOOO! The malls are a-open!

Are you buying?
