Those who own the shop space will still be there as long as their monthly sales income can cover the running cost

I went there yesterday for fun after not being there in a few years, and the place is growing abandoned. Some of the shops have already closed, and one of them is Make Fine.Fuwell has been reduced to half of its original size
Physical stores are now suffering greatly as a result of online purchasing, which often includes discounts and promotions.Soon there will be no more window shopping.:oops:

Older players around are the ones who bought out their units and/or sublet to various business entities.

Most tenants are here for "business presence" or for their target audience. In general, their business nature can levy "the window tax" or supported by consumer brands.

Moved from Kim Hoe Center to SLS and it's generally better here with distro daily movement for consumer goods.

Only gripe is the rowdy clubs, painted girls/women of negotiable virtue and the filth they leave behind before cleaning crew rotation (including but not limited to vomit and cigarette butts).

Entities of particular interest are those of esoteric arts (Witch Craft, Spirituality, Buddhism and other spell casters).

These predictions are already in effect.

As for physical or verbal confrontation, it's a regular occurence and it's honestly quite cute with their impotent rage.

Either fight or **** each other's brains out already, don't just look fixedly or vacantly at the offending party eyes wide open. :)

Still treasure all of the previous recollections.
getting a new gadget while out with friends, window shopping to examine the actual electronics item and then eating in the basement coffee shop having some chit chat about PC and stuff :cool:

To me, all those best shops were closed down long ago. SLS no longer worth a visit for us enthusiasts.

I remember a small shop at level 3 selling premium cases ( Lianli and Silverstone) and alot PC modding stuff, powerful fans, tubing and random things. The shop owner also offer case modding server.

I was a regular til the day he closed the shop, probably was the best shop in the history of SLS lolz.

are you talking about UVnium?

No that is gone. As an Indian, I think the food there was quite spectacular. It was even better before it got took over by another guy. But now that stall is completely gone. Claypot Keema with naan was SOLID.

If it's at the basement of SLS, I think we should be talking about the same store. 😂

It is really good. In fact, one of the greatest highlight of SLS shopping trip.

My gf then (waifu now) will complain that it is high cholesterol but even with all the low cholesterol food, she only grow sideways now. :ROFLMAO:
