I usually work on commission basis.

Oh dear. There is a pretty good DIY shop on the ground floor and there is Jason’s on the same floor too. Nothing better of this kind in Vivo.

I don't think it's to take Mary Palmer out on a date.....

Plugs, sockets, extenders, all Spring safety approved.

Also pliers and door knobs.
I would be more concerned about the Jason's part.

I'll probably be in a similar state when I move there next month.

I'm in London now and I've never lived alone in my life let alone in another country!

Vivo has the lifeless Singapore Mall feel - I hate it! If you want to go to a mall that has more character, get yourself into one of the old malls like Far East Plaza or Orchard Plaza or Katong Mall or similar, amongst the maid agencies, tailers and massage/beauty places, there tends to be some great shops. For instance, one of the best tool shops in Singapore is in Orchard Plaza.

Another 'great' place to walk around is Toa Payoh, it's the heartlands and has a lot of 'character'.

failing that, there are numerous parks around the country to wonder and plenty of places that are very hobby friendly, if you have a hobby?

Forget seeing decent live sport though, there is not much of that.

There is a mall at Harbourfront Center connected to Vivo and it is pretty close to the old style malls.

Yes, you are right, although a lot of the space in there is taken up by the ferry terminal.

Try using a bus instead. You get to see more that way.

Lol, yes. Take the MRT to any of the following (or many more!) places and just go outside and walk around:

Toa Payoh, Ang Mo Kio, Yishun, Bishan, Bedok, Tampines, Sengkang, Punggol, Jurong East or West, etc...

Be sure to make a note of which one you're visiting, because after the second or third you'll get confused and may forget where you are. They all look mostly the same.
