Mustafa Centre

As a night of furious discussions with the brother and parents during dinner drew to a close, the father decided to bring us to the only place still open to get the brother's watch in time for the start of his army daze tomorrow.

Mustafa Centre remains the only place where I'll get lost in, because nothing really make sense in there. From sports it jumps to toys, then hardware is right on top of the food section which is squashed on the middle floor. Or something like that. I find it rather amusing that every item is stacked on top of each other, limitless in quantity. It strips all brands down to what they really are- commodities. No frills, no glamour, just a lotta goods.

It also remains the best place to get props for production. I remember heading to mustafa at 7 in the morning 2 or 3 times just to get balloons for shoots. Or 10pm at night for drawing blocks and light bulbs.

Good for holding hands too, as you see all the Indian brothers clinging on to each other affectionately. Good for them la.

Love the place and all it's offerings. Beat that, NTUC.
