Singapore (Thread 21)

[kho_leen]

Sissies,

Meron ba Tods sa singapore other than at Changi airport?

Mas cheaper ba ang shops at changi airport compared to buying outside then claim GST or pareho lang?

TIA.

[GirlCrush]

^Tod's at Paragon And yes mostly it's cheaper at Changi Airport but the thing sometimes is the stock availability... Makeups super mura talaga, I usually hoard on makeup/skincare every time I get the chance to They have this claim na if you find it cheaper outside the airport, they're going to give you a refund yata yun or something to that extend

^^And if hindi taga dito most likely I think they will get lost lang rin if ever they walk kasi it's not really that near

[kho_leen]

Thanks sis girlcrush.

Ill check changi airport for the brands.

We're leaving this friday, 24th until sa 27th.  Sana meron sale either sa tods, prada, mulberry or ferragamo.  . I want to get 1bag.  Yun lang ang gusto ko i-shop.

[GirlCrush]

^As far as I know these brands don't go on sale here but you can try your luck.Of all the high end brands, Gucci lang ang alam kong nagsasale.. I'm talking about the stores by the way, uso kasi dito mga clearance sale ng designer bags but 3rd party nagbebenta

sa mga sissies na nag PM sakin tungkol sa feedback ko sa FRAGRANCE HOTEL RUBY- GEYLANG

- super liit ng family room para kaming nasa kahon (walang ref)
- 15 mins walk pa ang aljunied station (MRT)
- di recommended pag may kasamang bata
- sobrang daming pick up girls sa labas

based on my experience di na kami babalik sa hotel nato, next time would be YMCA nalang malapit pa sa lahat

Hi Mga sis

questions lang po, we will be in SG from July 28- July 30, then July 31 whole day sa malaysia.

->hanggang kailan po ang GSS? aabutin ba namin yun sa July 28?

-> saan po kaya ok mamili ng clothes for men? kasi si hubby may balak ata mag shopping hehe.

Im here at sg na. 

S$1.23 ang money changer sa airport while s$1.24 ang sa lucky plaza.  Konti lang pala difference. 

Regarding shopping, lacoste has 20% off for every s$150 spent on regular items.  Will try my luck instead at changi city point outlet.   Konti lang sale ng charles&keith sa vivo.

I went to one 3rd party sale on designer brands.  Marami din pinoy na nakapila sa sale.  Pero,wala ako nagustuhan.  Parang 10%- 30% off lang sila vs sg boutique price except for a very few items na bigger ang discount.

Will explore orchard tom. . Saglit lang kami this morning dun before we took the free shuttle to USS for tourists from mandarin.

Today was Orchard-USS-Vivo-Chinatown.  Sa sobrang pagod, we really enjoyed yung s$1 massage chair for 5mins sa YMCA lobby. 

[layzieg]

San ok bumili ng mobile phone sa Singapore?

[rocky]

^mas mahal phone don sis, nag-canvass ako dati halos doble. mas ok bumili gadget don sa funan digital mall

[vanekski]

Hi sisses! Meron ba kayo suggestion na hostel / pension house na good for 15 persons with kids? Kase yung mga na back read ko puro for small families and couple lang. I will be travelling with friends with kids, sana yung accessible din sa mga pasyalan dun.. And kung saan ba nakakabili ng cheap ticket sa F1? thanks in advance mga sis

[cookiee]

anybody who's going to SG this week. just came back from last week from business trip and I have 2 coupons for Universal Studios Day pass. Original price of the day pass was SGD 74. But with this coupon, SGD 60 nalang. giveaway ko na to. You can claim it in Makati Area. Till May 31 lang kasi yung coupon. sayang. Papabuy lang me kaya toast spread sa Fairprice Supermarket which is SGD2. hehe

[kurengkeng]

MAC is in Terminal 2. Same also with the make-ups. Kaso lang after immigration kasi cya eh. Try Sephora too.They are also selling at a discount.

For hotels, I stayed in Park Regis. Its around 7k per night eh. but ok na din since I really preferred 4-5 star hotels. You may try Hotel 81 in Chinatown. I think this one is cheap. ok naman surroundings. Not the typical na makalat na Chinatown. Just saw it and the location was quite good as well. maybe less than a 5 minutes walk from Chinatown MTR station Purple line. Then Clarke Quay is 10mins walk. CBD is 15 mins walk.

For those with budget, I suggest Carlton, Swissotel, Fairmont. Walking distance lahat ng tourist spots.Near sa Marina Bay.

[kho_leen]

I super like YMCA orchard.  The location is so convenien and with buffet breakfast pa! 

We're at MBS now and got upgraded to orchid suite!  Happy!

Sissies,

Question, i bought a samsonite luggage kanina from takashimaya luggage fair.  I forgot to get the gst refund form.  Can i still get it tomorrow?  Do i still need to bring the luggage i bought?

Tia. 

[xtine]

^ just go back to present the receipt.  No need to bring your luggage.  If you won't be able to get the gst form, just present the receipt on changi before immigration checkin area.  Yun nga lang, it will be manually approved by the gst refund officer unlike pag may gst form, machine readable na and mas hassle free.

[rocky]

^^naku sayang yong GST sis. try mo na lang balikan yong store kahit hindi na siguro dalhin yong luggage basta dalhin mo receipt and passport mo. kasi pag bibili ka dapat, inform mo sila na tourist ka then may ibibigay sila syong parang receipt na kelangan mong fill-up. sana makuha mo sis pambili din ng chocolates yon or pasalubong
