SAAN ba mura ang hotel? thanks

^Regarding the USS Mastercard promo, I was able to avail pa the SGD60/pax promo price for Oct 25 Since a lot of promotions are available on that date, you need to expand the "Partner Exclusives" section to view the mastercard promo since the default/feautured offer that time is the SGD 2 off (SGD70/pax). Just sharing for our sisses who are also interested in availing such promo.

Sis xtine san ok bumili ng ipad 3 and camera dyan? May nagpapabili kasi.. And usd dala namen san mas ok magpa-exchange?

Thanks!

Sis, mahal ang iphone dito.  Mas mura pa daw sa pinas.  Ipad you can buy sa Funan digitamall which is on City hall station MRT.  Mas sigurado na hindi sira at walang lokohan.

DO NOT EVERY BUY in Sim Lim or Far east or Lucky Plaza, my friends got duped there when they bought Iphone.

Gudluck sa akin bukas sana makita ko kahit kaunti sila prince william and kate middleton sa gardens by the bay ng 10am expected ko na madaming tao niyan siguro

[nylanig]

mga sis, saan murang bilihan ng gadgets sa SG?

[rocky]

^sis, kasasagot lang ni sis xtine. hehe! sa funan kayo bumili mas safe don & mura tapos dami pang freebies.

[chinkee]

yup unless you're really knowledgeable sa IT /gadgets stuff.. eg, their market price, how to spot fake and not, some testing.. iwasan bumili sa Sim Lim.. though meron pa rin naman authentic na gadgets dun, you just have to be attentive.. or magsama ng friend who knows this stuff. Price wise mas gusto ko din sa Funan saka parang mas safe kasi mas maganda yung interior.. hehe

Oo nga sis narinig ko maraming manloloko sa sim lim.

Sis ipad 3 not iphone mura daw dyan eh.. Oh so ok pala talaga sa Funan mall (napuntahan ko to nung unang punta ko ng sg).

Eh perfumes? Mustafa padin? How to get there?

[xtine]

^i would recommend sa duty free n changi sa arrival nyo dito.  Some Friends are telling me hindi tumatagal ang perfume from mustafa.  I also do not know if they sell authentic perfumes (not original).  So its safer sa dfs changi before custom clearance. 

Likewise, mas mura di hamak sa mustfa coz they hae buy one take one for S$89 na cool water for women. 

I buy mine in duty free changi whenever I go back to SG from Manila instead of mustafa.

thans sis pheigh, kaso yung mastercard promo na lumalabas e maybank daw dapat ang gamitin, yun ba inavail mo? salamat

[pheigh]

@ushuaia: sis nope, the mastercard promo talaga. May isa pa kasi sila promo for maybank card holders sis. check mo nalang ulit, try to expand all the selections para you can check. Note that the SGD60/pax if for non peak days ha.

[glacy_rein]

Thanks xtine! last naaaaa naguulan paba dyan?? Salamatttt

[SOFIEMAE]

sis xtine, yung mga perfumes naman na nabili namin nila hubby at ng frends ko last year sa mustafa  authentic naman and longlasting yung amoy... may mga pinoy na salesman dun ask namin sila kung orig... original naman daw, kasi nakakapagtaka halos lahat ng perfumes dun buy 1 take 1 or half the price or less 20-30% off... sabi sa amin kaya daw mura dun kasi bulky ang kuha nila sa supplier ng mga perfumes... meron pa kaming nabiling mga lotion sa itaas ng mustafa sobrang mura, malalaki at mabango naman mega buy kami para pasalubong less than 80 lang pag converted sa peso mabigat nga lang sa baggage =)... kaya pag punta ko ulit ng november babalik ako ng mustafa dami kasing mura =) sa mustafa din kami nakabili ng 32" samsung LED tv at sony digicam n pinakisuyo ng officemate ko mura din... pero check niyo din talaga muna before buying =)

[xtine]

^sis glacy, medyo maulan.  Laging makulimlim pero mainit.  Yesterday sa news, nagdistribute ng mineral water sa mga mediamen na nagcover ng pagdating ni prince william and kate dahil sa init.  Pero today, makulimlim.  Sana di umulan.

^sis Sofiemae, di pa ako nakakabili ng perfume sa mustafa.  These are the comments as told to me by tourist friends who bought it.  But some officemates told me they do last long.  Although its my own decision to buy in duty free kasi I can go anytime sa mustafa, while dfs, kelangan galing ako ibang bansa.  I will try to buy my perfume in mustafa next time to compare.

oo sis try mo rin sa mustafa =) i already booked my hotel for nov 14-18 sa riverview, problem ko nalang for nov 11-14 na dates... my idea ka ba sis ano much better between hotel 81 or fragrance hotel? may alam ka ba sis ng bilihan ng bowling shoes dyan s SG? thanks for your help =)

[xtine]

^Sis, marami malls dito for bowling shoes.  Try mo sa Vivocity maraming sports store doon. 

Hotel 81 and Fragrance hotel are both inexpensive ones.  Parang Sogo hotel sya ng Singapore, yung maraming branches. 

[xtine]

Just had a talk with my two friends here in SG, they bought their bulgari and incanto in Mustafa.  Long lasting naman daw ang amoy at original naman.  I guess it is safe to buy perfume in Mustafa, mura pa.

[jamberryknots]

my 2 indian officemates told me na hindi daw original ang perfumes sa mustafa.
When i first went there nashock ako kasi super cheap ng perfumes madalas buy 1 take 1, although that time hindi ako nagpurchase (feeling ko dahil mura merong tendency na fake) tinanong ko nga sa officemates ko, maski daw sila hindi bumibili dun.

allthough to be honest i haven't personally tried it

[xtine]

^Awww.  Sige.  Try ko pa rin bumili just to compare.  Although majority of their items naman na non perfume are original.

Msrain: how did you book for Strand hotel? Wala ako makitang merchant na nag cacarry ng strand hotel. Yung direct to the website naman, inquiry form pa lang nag rerequire na ng credit card details!. Thanks.
