Since it is still holiday here in Sg (day2 of Chinese New Year) and almost 90% of all malls were still shut off, I paid a visit at Mustafa Centre in Little India (I have high hopes that they are so open, and they were!). It was already my second time to be here and still, I'm so mesmerized with the colorful culture of India.
Little India is considered one of the most genuine districts in Singapore. The colorfulness and cheerfulness of this district derived from its being as a shopping arcade. It lies in the east part of the Singapore River—across from Chinatown, located west of the river—and north of Kampong Glam.

Hindi Gold
Fast fact: India is the world's largest single consumer of gold, as Indians buy about 25% of the world's gold, purchasing approximately 800 tonnes of gold every year, mostly for jewelry. India is also the largest importer of gold; in 2008, India imported around 400 tonnes of gold. Indian households hold 18,000 tonnes of gold which represents 11 per cent of the global stock and worth more than $950 billion. (Wikipedia)
