Parkview Square, also often referred to as the "Gotham building", due to its Art Deco architectural style that resembles the fictional Gotham City of Batman legend.  A golden crane in the middle of the open plaza greets you - apparently the crane is pointing towards China.  The building is "guarded" by eight gigantic statues of men holding a light ball in their hands.  Unsurprisingly, one of the most expensive buildings in Singapore.

Dave and I went to Jurong Point for a mid-week fast-food fix (Popeye's do a tasty chicken burger infused with Louisiana-style herbs and spices) and I loved their Chinese New Year decorations.
