Xin Pa Sat
After months of weeks of hardwork and countless hours of design and thought through, I have finally built the Xin Pa Sat. Xin Pa Sat literaly means New Market. Created after the Lau Pa Sat (Old Market) in downtown Singapore, Xin Pa Sat aims to be the virtual cousin of the vibrant Lau Pa Sat. A new market place for virtual trading of virtual merchandise, and maybe real world merchandise.
There are 2 storeys to the market place, the upper storey is where I shall locate my smaller stores, while the bigger ones will take the lower storey. I shall do some gazebo and pavillions and landscape the garden. Maybe some water features will be good. A river that gives meaning to everything.
I had created some virtual merchandise for avatars who are suffering from phobias of WMD attack on their lands. A coastal search radar, complete with the optional bunker add-on, and Rapier surface to air missile firing unit. Currently both radar and Rapier models exist as static units. The Mark 2 version for the radar shall feature actual hostile avatar and object tracking, while the Rapier unit will actually fires its missile. Construction is still in progress. Will keep you updated soon...
At the same time, there is a food store for one to sample the local singaporean flavours. Of course food is what Singapore is famous about. Modelling food is interesting and pretty easy... that is, if one is able to get past the curious stares of hawkers and food center patrons, staring at you while you take shots of every plate of food you order with the mobile camera, for the textures to upload.
Yummy looking right? The chicken rice and Carrot cake are both from the famous Tiong Bahru market. Yes! The newly completed one.

Nice idea for a Xin Pa Sat, though you might want to create a notecard in SL to explain to non-Singaporeans the significance of "Xin Pa Sat" as opposed to the Lau Pa Sat.
I really like the little touches - the HDB void deck table + seats covered with blue tiles, and you can listen to the mr brown show too!
Hope things turn out well :)
you might be interested to know that there was indeed a xin pa sat in singapore, somewhere near clarke quey. it had been demolished to make way for the mrt circle line (or so the hawkers were told). perhaps you would want to rename your creation so as not to create confusion?
Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your message. Do you go into SL as well?
I didn't know there really is a Xin Pa Sat. But I had intended that this virtual one to be a virtual representation of the real Lau Pa Sat, although I only build a small part of it cause I ran out of prims (polygons in CG terms).
Good job! My belated congratulations.
