^You may check sis C&K's online website to see the prices.

http://www.charleskeith.com/SGStore/CK/home?dest=SGP

It may be 20% off on outlet stores here in SG. 

[PP2201]

Yup viewed the c&k site. Really want the workbags.
Online price same as mall price?

Yung minemention dito na whole day ang dapat iallot for sg zoo, whole day na ang sg zoo or sg zoo + river safari na ito?

[bratty]

sis, would you happen to know a trusted courier in lucky plaza? Tia!

Hi sis, if I may answer. Maraming courier sa lucky plaza, pero ang natry ko ay jolly box, mga 4x na kami nagpadala. Nakarating naman ng selyado. Located sa 3rd floor. Pwedeng after mo magshopping, diresto ka sa pwesto nila at dun mo i-pack ang mga napamili mo. May website din sila, andun ang rates. Hth

[GirlCrush]

cindylulu, we use LBC

Pp2201,I think yes same price. If the bag you want is in Manila for sure meron dito kasi hindi hamak na mas nauuna dito. But please check the material of the bag 'coz my experience with using C&K bags aren't good, their bags aren't that sturdy

[burberi]

^Same. Mahuna yung pagkakagawa ng C&K bags. I had a cross body bag pero bumigay agad yung straps in less than 4 months

[PP2201]

Mukhang sturdy ang bag na type ko, hopefully. Their shoes are fine naman noh?

Is it ok na mag zoo at wag na mag river safari? Or mag river safari instead of zoo? Gusto ko kasi 4pm pauwi na kami so we could rest before spending the night at esplanade at marina.

[xtine]

^I have C&K shoes.  Di rin matibay.  I bought it for SGD39.90, not on sale.  Inabot lang ng 3 months kahit na maingat ako maglakad dito sa SG.  Kaya di ko pwede isuot din sa Pinas dahil mas masisira.

[PP2201]

Made in malaysia daw dapat ibuy para mas matibay. Hindi yung made in china. Not sure kung made in malaysia diyan. Sana.

-per my friend who previously worked at c&k, assorted daw ang gawa. So sana malaysia yung type kong bag.

[GirlCrush]

^It's also in the material that they use... Naka 2-3 C&K bags ako and never sila tumagal. Most of them are made of leatherette and nagbabakbak agad cya

[dulcette]

Anybody know magkano Dr. Marten's 8-hole boots sa orchard road?

[cindylulu]

@sisses bratty and girlcrush, thanks so much for the info. hanggang 12 noon lang pala open ang jolly box. Ang lbc naman, hubby is trying to contact their customer care through webtalk now if pwede pa pick up na lang ang package here at Novotel Clarke quay.

we went to ikea Alexandra today and we bought big-ticket items na kelangan talaga papa-freight. we had snacks at their cafe. hotdog and milo for me hehe. we also went to le bunny bleu at bugis junction kaso the shoes that i saw online was not available. sige dun na nga lang ako sa Shang edsa baka meron. I bought a maxi dress at little Emily for 29 sgd. I'm not sure if by sg standards mura na to. We ate late lunch at crystal jade then we went to funan it mall after. hubby bought the Nokia 1520 at 899 sgd at the official Nokia store. I don't know how much is it in manila but I think it'll cost a little higher. when we arrived yesterday, after checking in at the hotel we went to uss agad. sayang ang battlestar galactica hindi available. but we enjoyed the other rides so much especially the transformer and mummy. sa mummy, palakasan kami ng tili ng mga indian sa likod namin hahaha. sa Sesame Street, kami lang ni hubby ang matanda - lahat bata. we ate at mandarin resto. nagsisi ako when I saw may din tai fung pala sa taas. we had dinner naman today at tampopo beside Novotel. nakakatuwa may pinoy waiter dun alaga kami. kagabi naman sa sobrang pagpipili ko we ended up at Mcdo hehe. Ang laki ng serving ng cheeseburger at ang regular fries parang large sa atin. and may Japanese grocery pala sa Liang court hehe. magho-hoard ako ng mga products na binibili ko lang online dyan sa manila.

Watch the Light & Sound show for at 7:45PM or 8:45PM. Marina Bay Complex. travel (bus? taxi?) to Gardens By The Bay. walk around the Supertree Grove.
- Hotel, sleep

3/17/13
- USS if we arrive sa opening pa lang, maiikot ba namin ito ng buo until 5pm?
- 5pm to 7pm - Sea Aquarium kaya pa ba ito? para di na kami dito babalik on the 3rd day, sayang pamasahe if ito lang ang sasadyain namin kinabukasan. or mas ok ba if ito unahin namin this day, then saka isunod ang USS?
- either Crane Dance (Audio Visual Show) at the Water Front (free – 9PM) or Lake Of Dreams (free; 9:30PM daily) **ano sa dalawa ang mas ok?).**

3/18/13

- 3:30PM, ride mtr back to changi airport, wait flight boarding (should be at the boarding gate by 4:30PM at the latest)

**for our last day, worth it pa ba na puntahan ang city point outlet mall if we'll only have 3hrs max para mag ikot ikot? or would you guys suggest na sa bugis/Little india na lang namin ubusin yun oras before going to airport? sayang din kasi eh, since 1 station away lang yun outlet mall pero kung ma-stress lang kami dahil sa oras, we'll probably forego na lang yung outlet shopping...

[shielala]

I'm planning na magdaytour sa KL, how much kaya iprepare ko na budget for roundtrip transpo plus pasalubong na din and food?

[blue-purple]

mga sis may bumibili ba sa inyo ng coupon or deals para sa tourist attractions in singapore? naghahanap kasi kami pero gusto namin sana sa reliable pa share naman if you have bought and from where. Thanks

[yapeegurl]

^naka try na kami noon sa Groupon sis. You can also check sa travel agent sa lucky plaza across posb atm sa 3rd floor. Palagi doon bumibili ng USS tickets ang friend ko. Sometimes meron din mastercard or maybank promo sa mismong website ng USS for example.

[xtine]

Sis Sherlock,

1.  Gardens by the bay is just behind Marina bay sands.  Actually, when you cross helix bridge, just turn left and its already gardens.

2.  Most likely, maiikot nyo ng buo pero just to enjoy all the attractions (plus 2 round of rides) it will take you the whole day. 

3.  Hmmm, for me

3.  Better reserve the aquarium on the following day or if you got bored too quickly with USS, just head to SEA aquarium right after.

4.  I think i like crane dance more.  Although Lake of dreams is just a mini light show. 

5.  If you can do more than 4 hours earlier check in of your baggage, you can take a taxi to Ikea tampines and just roam around the place for an hour (eat in the restaurant).  Taxi ride from Ikea tampines to Changi is just around 10 - 15 minutes only. 

[PP2201]

Wala namam limit ang liquid na dadalhin kung naka check in baggage right? Dami kasi namim mineral water na 1 gallon dito.

[bratty]

^Wala naman sis, as long as within sa baggage allowance mo. One gallon talaga sis? Sayang naman ang baggage allowance nyo kung water ang i-che-check in nyo.

15kg kasi yun baggage alowance ng check in. E ang dala lang namim toiletries at damit. Magaan lang damit kasi summer outfits naman. Naka hand carry lang mga damit namin. Pauwi naman, iiwan na namin yun tubig kung may matira. Kaya pasalubong at shopping na ang laman ng baggage.
