Hi mga sis,

may penguin ba na brand sa SG? Cheaper kaya there?

Tia!

Sis xtine,  super thanks!

I really appreciate the feedback lalo sa itinerary. 

We were too tired kanina that we forgot.  hehe. 

napagod si hubby coz inikot ko ion, paragon and takashimaya.  Naloka ako.  50% off sa ferragamo bags.  Hahaha

[xtine]

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. 

Can I ask how much yung Samsonite luggage you bought and which model? I am still here in Manila, I just want to know the price so that I can have my friend buy sana for me.  Thanks!

[kho_leen]

I got the 4wheel 62cm (midsize) na lightweight canvas type at s$225 only. 

I didnt get the plastic type.  Takot ako mabasag sa heavy travelling ko.  hehe

They have elle, delsey, echolac, american tourister, samsonite and etc.

Yung biggest size ang mbilis maubos, then yung hand-carry.  Maraming stocks pa sa mid-sized ones.

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.

Thanks sa reply sis! Via air asia naman ako papuntang malaysia so madadaan ko siguro yun.

bratty, GSS officially starts at may31 pa. the sale that you see now is the usual end of season sale lang dito. Same with Manila na normally june-july andami ring sale Di na ganun ka ok ang GSS compared to 4-5yrs ago... I guess economy is doing great din that's why. Warehouse sales aren't as often as before too 

xtine, samsonite bags are around $200-$400 depends o the size and material. Mas mahal si hard case. I was eyeing this blue 31" hard case sana kaso ang laki ng price diff with Delsey so I opted for Delsey nalang, half the price rin ang difference

[kho_leen]

Sis girlcrush, nandin ka rin ba kanina sa luggage fair? 

Btw sis xtine,  Tangs vivo also has a luggage sale when i was there nung sat, may25.  Kasama ang samsonite also at s$200++ and up..  Parang almost the same price but may samsonite pa na s$175 kanina sa luggage fair.  . When i checked Tangs orchard, may samsonite luugage on sale but konti lang ang styles unlike sa vivo na maraming styles included.

^Yes I was there with girlfriends, sabay sabay kami bumili ng luggage to take advantage of the additional 10% off for members Pinaka ok na luggage sale is sa Takashimaya. Next is Robinson's at Centrepoint... Mga ganitong time ang luggage sale kasi school holidays na and eto yung time na madalas magbakasyon ang mga locals

I went to takashimaya dept store at their luggage section.  I got disappointed coz pricey and wala dun yung nasa fliers that i saw online.

Buti i saw the luggage fair ad on the escalator and was excited to see the array of luggages sa basement.  Dun lang ako nakakita ng ganun kadami na luggage on sale.  Ang hirap pala pumili pag-sobrang dami. Hahaha

I intended to get an american tourister set (small, medium, large) coz super mura.  Around s$80 lang each.  Pero small and medium na lang meron.  I had to leave para mag-decide.  Then hubby convinced me to get 1samsonite na ka-presyo ng 2american tourister.  Yung medium which can be expanded to fit 30kg or as is then bawasan lang laman to fit 15kg. 

Had to cross to lucky plaza for paragon kanina.  Nakakatuwa.  Parang divisoria sa dami ng pinoy.  hehe

Tom, Ikea then harvey norman for addtl epilators na pabili ng ofcmates ko. 

Nakakatuwa ang singapore sale. 

[GirlCrush]

^My friends naman were supposed to get American Tourister but told them to get Delsey instead because of the material of the hard case (My AT luggage's hard case broke in one of my long haul business trip 2 yrs ago and imagine my shock when I saw my luggage all tied up and covered in a giant cling wrap ). Delsey's hard case kasi is scratch resistant and lining's water resistant. And konti lang price diff...

[kho_leen]

Scary nga yan.

Btw,  which branch of Harvey Norman dito ang pinakamalapit sa MBS and pwede MRT?

Sis, ok na.  I used google map.  Nearest branch is Centerpoint since i need to go back sa orchard area din.  Thanks! 

[bratty]

bratty, GSS officially starts at may31 pa.

yes, i stand corrected. hehe. Sakto lang kasi vesak day nung friday kaya feeling ko sinabay nila sa holiday ang gss.. hehe.

[bratty]

Mas gusto ko ang luggage sale ng Tangs. And tama ka sis girlcrush, mas malupit ang sale before, even warehouse sales halos sunod-sunod. Ngayon parang less na.

NUng Friday, may pila sa labas ng kate spade, coach, at ibang shops. Sa kate spade lang ako pumila pero wala nabili. Ang mahal kasi. Hahaha!

PC Show naman ang next event.

Thanks sis kho_leen and Girlcrush.  Sana meron pa luggage sale ang takashimaya this wed para matignan ko.  By the way sis kho_leen, according doon sa pinoy na nakausap ko na taga changi point, mas matibay ang samsonite kasi american tourister is te low end ng samsonite.

Sis xtine, that's true.  Tried world traveller, elle, american tourister and benetton.  They all cracked.  Sometimes kasi land, water and air ang travel ko in 1day.

Ok yung delsey, wala lang ako nagustuhan na design.

Yung old samsonite ko ang pangit na kaya I need to replace. . Pricey lang talaga sya buti na lang sale dito sa sg.

[bratty]

@sis xtine until 9June pa ang luggage fair ng taka

[xtine]

^Thanks sis brattty, makakahabol pa pala ako. Hehe

Sis kho_leen, mura sa duty free sa naia.  Mas mura pa sha kesa sg (i dunno lamg kung masura pag sale).  Kasi i was able to buy 27 inches na ssonite cosmolite for USD555.  Mas mura pa ate kesa sa US.  I suggest tingin ka rin sa duty free when u get back.  Although, not aure pa rin kung mas mura sha kesa takashimaya sale.

[GirlCrush]

^Cheaper at Taka sale I think kasi nasa $460 ang pinakamahal na 28-28 inches ng Samsonite when I checked yesterday...

American tourister and Samsonite same manufacturer lang but low end nga cya ng Samsonite   Samsonite's counterpart is Delsey

[xtine]

^sis, was it cosmolite? Its around SGD1,000 pag normal price dyan.
