[kho_leen]

just learned that I will miss the GSS    sayang!

http://www.greatsingaporesale.com.sg/2013/home/index.html#

will be at singapore 1 week before the GSS.  sobrang bagsak presyo ba then?

where mas mura?  outlet stores or the malls during GSS?  TIA. 

[ficklemind]

^ sis, it's ok to miss GSS, it's not really bagsak presyo.
madalas naman magsale dito sa SG, madaming shops meron may items on discount.
lagi naman may sale (midyear, end of year, xmas, CNY, back to school, now eh easter sale nakikita ko, basta kung ano ang holiday  )
a week before? madami na din sale nyan sis   

[xtine]

^Mas gusto ko ang midyear and end of the year sale.  Yun talaga yung bagsak presyo at halos lahat ng malls ganun ang sale.  Uniqlo does not participate in GSS kasi they have surprise sales naman.  I think they have GSS to attract tourists.

[kho_leen]

Thanks sis xtine and sis ficklemind. 

after booking our tickets and checking the GSS schedule last year, pasok sa booking ko.  But the schedule is not really fixed pala.

anyway,  lacoste lang naman talaga gusto ko bilhin coz mura daw talaga dyan. 

[pinksuman]

oo nga ang daming sale dito. tulad nina may nakita akong esprit sale sa great world city 

di na rin ako na e-entice sa sale

[Cari]

sis kho_leen, saang malls mura ang lacoste? gusto ko din yan eh. TIA!

[xtine]

^ tax-free na prices sa DF Changi sis.

Majority are not less than the 7% GST pa.   The prices they put on the labels is 7% inclusive pa like in Watsons and Cotton-On stores there.  TO be sure, I would always ask the SA if the pricetag includes the GST.

[bagaholic_chewy]

sis Xtine, yung sa Duty Free shop mismo sa loob ng Changi is tax-free na di ba? That's what i mean by "DF Changi"..

[kho_leen]

Sis cari,  the lacoste outlet store is at changi city point.

[GirlCrush]

twinks, the "outlet mall" that you're saying is Changi City Point mall.

bagaholic_chewy, I think she's pertaining to some stores outside immigration area. There are some stores kasi na regular price yung nakalagay and pag napunch na sa counter that's the only time you'll see that they deduct the GST

Cari, cheapest Lacoste shirts that you can get here is at Changi City Point and Changi Airport. Although just a few weeks ago I was able to but 3 shirts for $190. That's their promotion so far. Then pag 2 shirts I think they're priced at $140 or $150. This is at their Ion Orchard store

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ thanks, sis.. Didn't notice the pricing kasi usually sa loob na ako namimili if sa Changi..

[dooonna]

Thanks sis bagaholic_chewy and xtine!

Kumusta weather sa SG mga sis? Kasing init ba dito sa Manila 

[Cari]

USD or SG Dollars yang sa lacoste mga sis? TIA!

[xtine]

^yes.  Sis Girlcrush is right.  In terminal three, there are also shops like cotton on, bara, fairprice groceries and others whi show their prices inclusive of tax.  But after immigration, usually i still ask if the pricetag is GST exclusive just to be sure.

[GirlCrush]

bagaholic chewy, the stores inside wala nang GST yun. But take note that there's also a different pricing for departure area and arrival hall area na Duty Free. It's cheaper to buy at the Departure area

dooonna this year's summer is extremely humid and hot

Nowadays I noticed hindi na ganun kadami ang mga warehouse sales compared to previous years 

[omneecka]

hi sisses!

how's the 5 star hotel's treatment to their visitor's guests? mahigpit ba sila?
ok lang ba na mag-sneak-in just like in luxury hotels in HK?

thank u!

[althea_ge]

thanks ficklemind for the reply..do you by any chance know if there's also beryls in Cbagi airport?
TIA

[minnie99]

Our trip is in May pa. Cebu Pac. Does anyone know which terminal sila ngayon? It will be my first time flying Cebu Pac and I have no idea talaga kung malayo ba ang gates nito and if so, kailangan ba maaga kami pumunta airport?

Also, nag-soft opening na River Safari. Did anyone visit na? How is it ba?

[runbarbierun]

^ NAIA 3 ang Ceb Pac, ang alam ko. Terminal 2 siya sa Changi.
