One of my family's all-time favourite hangout place is Thomson Plaza, the shopping mall where I used to frequent with my family as a child and which I have a lot of fond memories of. It has gone through many changes over the winding years since its halycon Yaohan days and if you do pop by for a visit now, you might be surprised to discover that despite being overhauled and succumbing to commercialism like other old shopping centres, it has retain some of its old world charm.

Sure, you'll find that well-known names like Thai Express, Sushi Tei, Home-DIY, Video-EZY and Starbucks have set up shop there but there is also a scatter of novelty shops that keeps the place special. One of the shops, aptly named Lovely DeArt, is a quaint little place that specializes in handicraft furnitures, decorative ceramics and porcelains, and fancy quilts and laces. The feeling when you step into the shop is a mix of awe and delight, as you gaze at the beautiful individual pieces painstakingly arranged together and soak in Victorian glamour and country nostalgia.

If I don't consider the amount of cleaning I'll have to do, I'll be busy buying such decoratives for our house or my future apartment. This is a place worthy a find for people who love all things quaint!
