We’ve previously written about the gorgeous new water attractions opening up at Jewel Changi Airport, such as a gorgeous waterfall spilling from the roof and a fabulous new flood — or should we say, pond — that Jewel officials were hurriedly cleaning up.

What can we say? Jewel is the mall that keeps on surprising us with new water attractions as if their vortex waterfall wasn’t enough of an attraction.

Two videos were uploaded on Facebook on Friday and Saturday showcasing these new marvels, proving that Singapore really is the country that continues to impress with its airport facilities.

In one video uploaded by Facebook user Klein Yeoman on Friday, what appeared to be sprinklers were in full blast, spraying a gorgeous mist all around the shopping floor.

Klein was visibly angry at the video which he said was sent to him by a friend, as he wrote the caption: “This is a S$1.7 billion project?! This kind of standard?!”

The video, which has been viewed more than 16,000 times, attracted some pretty hilarious comments too with Facebook user Calvin Yap saying: “We are showing Malaysia we have lots of water to spare”.

Another Facebook user Orlando Hilary Scully had other ideas: “Next time bring soap and towel can shower here”.

In another video uploaded by Facebook page All Singapore Stuff on Saturday, Jewel looked to be raining indoors as a massive stream of water pattered down to the floor from the roof.

The video, which was viewed more than 26,000 times, was similarly “lauded” by netizens for its creative usage of water, but one comment took the cake.

Facebook user Han Lian Kwang had this to say: “Actually Jewel is telling the whole world our waterfall is one of a kind that incorporates natural rainfall from the sky! Remember we always strive to be Number One!”

Fortunately for Jewel, we think these mini-waterfalls might be closing up soon as officials race to clean up the surprises to direct visitors to the actual attraction instead: the world’s tallest indoor waterfall in Jewel.

However, given the steady stream of roof leaks spouted from viral videos of Jewel, we’re not sure if we’ll be seeing more of such surprise attractions at Jewel.

After all, there has to be a clear reason why Singapore has the world’s best airport, right?

If you’ve made it to the end of this article and can’t detect the heavy sarcasm we’ve used in this article and the fact that there are no official new water attractions at Jewel, here’s a tip: read up more. Just saying.
