Singapore (Thread 19)

[Grayce]

^re: sports apparel, price wise, sa alexandra ang cheapest, specially shoes and raybans since last season styles are usually there. but di hamak na mas convenient si CCP since accessible by MRT.

and walang H&M in MNL... Muji is cheaper in MNL.

^^lately i noticed yung mga andito meron na rin sa pinas but ang lamang lang kasi here is mas madalas mag sale here and styles are more updated (with clothes,shoes), just be on the lookout for sale lang,. ang madalas na hinohoard dito is charles and keith since it's at least cheaper ng 50% compared to MNL. if you're into mga kikay stuff, madaming mga japanese knick knacks sa watson's. there are a lot of brands there na wala sa manila like shiseido tsubaki, mga bb cremes (skin79, dr jart), japanese mascaras/eyeliners, double lid tapes etc.

i think comparable ang traveling times from SG to KL by plane and bus kasi if mag plane ka, you'll have to be in the airport 2 hours din prior to departure. then from airport commute again going to the city center pero pag bus they usually have ideal drop off points within the city na.

its also cheaper to travel by bus (there are cheapest bus at 30sgd daw) KLIA has airport charges din di ba?

+ 1.

Hi sis xtine and grayce! Thanks for being so helpful! we'll be staying in bugis street. Excited nko sa shopping din at maghanap ng sale i'll be in sg kl dec 5-7. Would you happen to know if may mga expo or may event that time?

[xtine]

^try to visit singapore expo website, nakapost doon events nila.  SITEX is coming up this nov. I just dunno the actual dates this nov. One of the biggest IT sale here in SG.  Mobile ako nagbabasa ng GT kaya pakihanap nalang yung website.

Singapore Expo website:

SITEX is actually ongoing na. until sunday.

 @sisfurby103 we'll be in SG too on dec 5-9 at mag stay din kami sa bugis area! san hotel ka sis? =) Hotel 81 kami 

[Grayce]

^yes every november ang SITEX. check mo lang ang website ng singapore expo if you're keen on checking out the upcoming events there. but usually the major events lang naman madalas sa expo is SITEX, food expo (although this year d ganun ka ok mas madaming ok na food last time). Yung mga john little, robinson's or metro na expo dun I really won't recommend it, di cya worth puntahan IMO except lang if you know na meron silang clearance sale ng charles and keith, aldo, pedro, nine west, steve madden. hit or miss to FYI.

^di naman maulan sis diba? my family will be there tom. puro mtr lang sila pero going to night safari and singapore zoo taxi sila para derecho na. they bought park hopper 2-in-1 (night safari and singapore zoo), pati yung promo ng mastercard na universal + maritime musem for SGD60. since 9 pax (2 kids 8 and 2) sila, solve na solve ang mga promos.  saved total of sgd215 pandagdag sa mga souvenirs sa universal.

[xtine]

Malakas ang ulab dito.  Normally hapon umuulan so i would suggest to do all your sightseeings in te morning.  Enjoy SG!

[Grayce]

^^it's the moonsoon season here already. lately it rains in the afternoon as in buhos talaga. nung thursday lang d umulan but the rest 3pm onwards buhos na ang rain.

[prettynvain]

^thanks! umbrella lang ata dinala nila.. tsk tsk.. eto namang friend ng sis in law ko di man lang sinabi na maulan pala samantalang lagi niya ka-chat yun dahil magmimeet sila.. haist.. may 2 kids pa naman

[Grayce]

^oo make sure lagi kang may umbrella. sa zoo, uss etc may rain coats naman just incase kailanganin ninyo. so far hindi pa umuulan ngayon

[freelancebuddy]

Will be in singapore june next year. Hopefully hindi maulan! Though nabasa ko na hindi daw masyado maulan ng june.

Sis - question any place in Singapore you can buy mga overruns.
Last time I was there sa corner of Orchard where isetan is there
Was a stall with overruns - plus since plus size ako- such a bonus
They had tops for 10 Singapore dollars. Is it mustafah that has this?
Hope you can share where to go. Only know orchard road and
Don't know the other shopping areas.

[xtine]

^Try Anchorpoint mall along alexandra road.  There's a cotton-on outlet there and their sizes are pretty weird.  Their small sizes are fit plus size people. 

[Grayce]

^^if you're around size 12, 14 onwards at topshop/dorothy perkins, medyo challenge maghanap ng damit dito since majority of the people here have a small frame and i only know dorothy perkins so far and forever21 (love21 ata yung line nila for plus size) for big sizes. the tiangge that you mentioned at isetan is probably their promotional area (meron rin sa ground floor but sa back area, just right across royal plaza at scotts), 3rd floor then 4th floor) and yes they have those biglaan na crazy sales. you can check isetan's website for this. singapore is not really known for overruns unlike dyan satin, but there are a number of warehouse sales around oct-dec and may-july but they announce it atleast a week before.

Hi sisses! Need your help...we'll be in SG sa May at wala pa kami iti and hotel...
We are 8 adults, 2 kids...ano ba recommended hotel nyo na affordable and kkasya kami?
We are planning to just get one room for all of us, or if merong murang hostel/hotel, pwede na rin hiwalay...tulugan lang namin..we'll be out most of the time naman...

We'll be arriving around the afternoon the first day..plan namin to shop nalang.. Then the next 2 days will be whole day, of course yun isa dun will be USS. Any suggestion kung ano pwede puntahan namin na tourist spot the next day? Then will be leaving afternoon of the 4th day..

Anyone who can share their iti and possible expenses?

Thank you so much in advance sa sasagot...

[prettynvain]

^try Strand Hotel or SEA Hotel, they have family rooms.

[Karrie]

Grayce and Xtine, Thank you for your replies.  Will look for them.

Grayce, will try your suggestion to go inside isetan.  Last time the tiange was just outside near gelatisimo.

[Grayce]

^oh that one! Andun lang palagi yun. but most of them are from china and hindi talaga cya overruns ng kung ano mang brand (read: fake).
