Those were the times,
Jurong East Entertainment Centre
Jurong East Entertainment Centre (JEC), was an awesome place. It wasn't particularly packed with stores, so it wasn't flooded with people either. It was a nice, little place, with just enough for my friends and I. Pizza Hut, KFC, MacDonalds, Kopitiam - where we hung out at. K Pool, K Box, where we luxuriously spared ourselves once awhile.
Jurong Regional Library was right beside JEC too; and it was such a perfect location to grab snacks or have meals while studying at the library. God knows how much time I spent there during my Secondary 2 year, in preparation for streaming. I had been inspired to do well for the End of Year examinations, and JEC, along with JRL, supported me through those times. (Not a very tangible expression, but nonetheless I do mean it.)
The MacDonalds was also where I rushed my art work preparation with my beloved friends. Those memories were fond, and unforgettable. How we all coloured our preparatory pieces, and went to-and-fro the photocopying shop. I won't forget either, the three packets of fries we bought, which we almost couldn't finish.
There was also this Prima Deli outlet which sold rather nice waffles. I remember always buying one whenever I felt like giving myself a treat. And there's the Jolli Bean right in the middle, and I loved the cheese pancakes.
Those were the times, that I enjoyed my lower Secondary school days with. It was simple, but I had fun. I had so much fun, I never thought how the future would have been like. I had wanted to stay in those moments forever. I still do, now (:
But now JEC is undergoing renovation. We ain't going to see the JEC we once knew. Somehow, thinking of that, makes me sad.

last time i heard, renovation for jec has been terminated cos the (renovation) company went bankrupt… den the govt also don wanna provide funds to help… waiting for another company to take over and carry on, then…. i suppose it’ll be left vacant until the economy is better?
