Shopping In Singapore

Last saturday, i went to Singapore with Wendy for 3 days. This time, we went there by air. This is my very, very first time flying to Singapore! I usually take the bus as it's cheaper, though it took much longer. Anyways, AirAsia is doing this huge promo, so it only cost us like RM144 2 ways, inclusive of SkyBus. So, it's a good deal, right?

For me, the main purpose of this trip is to shop. Back in KL, i don't really buy much stuff, honestly, i don't know why. Even a shorts for RM30 to me it's expensive. But somehow, in Singapore, i'm able to buy more, of course price is still a factor...But maybe because of its wider choice selection? or the better quality? I don't know; to me $30 for 2 shorts is cheap and worth buying. I know that once i convert back to Malaysian Ringgit, it'll actually cost about the same...BUT...so???I still enjoy shopping in Singapore! *laughs*

Especially in July, since it's their Great Singapore Sale now (29 May - 26 July)

This time, our time was slightly limited, as we only spend 3 days there. For a full and thorough shopping in Singapore, i'll need at least 4 days. But, the longer we stay...the more our accommodation will cost as well.*sigh*

Basically, we were able to cover
1) Far East Mall, Orchard Road
2) Bugis Street & Bugis Junction
3) Marina Square
4) Junction 8 in Bishan (i love their cotton on shop there)

I manage to buy:
*converse shoe
*2 flip flops
*2 shorts
*a pair of heels
*one dress
*one top

All i can say that it's a good bargain! Even after converting to Malaysian Ringgit, the satisfaction of purchasing it! (Although i can't beat Wendy's satisfaction of buying a pair of rubber shoes which she wore it once purchasing, and few hours later after purchasing another Crocs shoes and wore it immediately as well...)


Anyways, our journey back to KL is not that smooth. Well, there's nothing much i can really complain about, we paid a cheap amount of RM for our flight ticket, so it's usually bound to reciprocate with the service we get...

We checked in 2 hours before departure time, went through immigration almost immediately after checking in, since the gate opens usually 45 mins before departure, we just walk around the shops and had a quick dinner. 30 mins before our departure time, we walked slowly to our gate...then pass by the flight information..stating our Gate is CLOSING! WTH? I thought it just opened! We ran. YES. RAN..i think more than 300 metres? Ran. Ran. People were staring at us. We ran, stopped for a gulp of air. Run run run........ Finally, we reached our gate. Scan our bag, and the officer was like asking me to chill and cool. breath in and breath out....i wanted to ask, i thought the gate is closing?! but i'm too out of breath. not only from running, but fear of missing the bloody flight. Who knows, we still have to wait there for like another 20mins++ before boarding the plane. Damn shit, we ran like some crazy cows for NOTHING!

Well, as a whole, that's the worst part of our trip.

Ohya, my leg is extremely sore. Not from running in the airport (well, maybe that affects a little) but due to walking toooooo much in Singapore!
