Greenwich V Shopping Mall Amazing Race!

As part of my Blog Goals 2012 to build community, I hoped to attend a bloggy event and interact more with fellow bloggers and readers. About 2 weeks ago there was an invitation from omy.sg & Far East Organisation to be part of the Greenwich {pronounced as Gren-ich btw} V Experience, which is like an amazing race to taste food from the various stores in Greenwich V.

Fun? Food? I'm in!! :P It was a also fine opportunity to attain one of my blog goals so of course I registered for it! :)

Greenwich V is a new shopping mall with a charming village-like atmosphere located at Seletar Hills. It's actually just about 15 minutes away from our home so very convenient!

The first floor of Greenwich V is indoors and contains Cold Storage, wellness stores like Hockhua Tonic and Guardian, as well as food & beverage stores like berrylite, Old Chang Kee, Toast Box and Chinta Manis Peranakan Patisserie.

I like the second floor, which has a large open space in the middle and a water spray area - a definite hit with the kids! Lil Pumpkin will be sure to jump right in if she goes so I'd better bring extra clothing for her haha.. The open-air concept coupled with the big palm trees makes it an easy place to relax, especially on a sunny yet breezy day like yesterday when the Greenwich V Experience was held.

The bigger restaurants like Cedele, Paradise Inn and Rakuichi Japanese Restaurant are located on this level. Majority of the stores at Greenwich V are for food & beverage, but there's also 2 language schools located at this floor - Hua Language Centre, and Jan & Elly English Language School.

For the Greenwich V Experience, 15 bloggers participated and were divided into 3 teams of 5. There was the Urban Team {wearing black}, Lifestyle Team {wearing red} and Village Team {wearing green}. I was part of the Village Team and luckily, managed to find a green top at the last minute on Friday from New Look!!

My teammates were Claire, William, Rachel & Nigel. They are very vibrant and sporting people :) We had such good group dynamics that you'll be surprised this was the first time we met! I loved that they were game enough to do kawaii & crazy camera poses haha

The challenge required us to complete a series of 10 tasks each at allocated shops in Greenwich V. To go to each station, we had to solve a clue!! Some were easy, while others were quite tricky :P See the picture above.. can you guess what shops they are referring to? We had to take a photo that best represented the shop products or services and upload the 10 photos onto Greenwich V fb page with photo captions. The photos below are the shots we uploaded to the fb page and are taken from Rachell's camera because she's the designated group photographer. I was the time-keeper hahaha..

I would have loved to mingle with the rest of the bloggers in the other teams after the event, but it finished quite late and most left straight after. Oh I forgot to tell you one tiny detail....
