Shopping at Singapore

Herm. What more to expect when we are on a vacation other than visiting unique places? It would be, shopping! I can probably say that a vacation is just incomplete if it doesn’t come with any shopping activities. At least, we would want to buy something for our loves as sign of remembrance, no? These are the places which I have managed to visit and shop along the vacation :)

1. Arab Street Singapore.
2. Chinatown Complex.
3. Orchard Road.
4. Geylang Road.
5. Universal Studio.

Arab Street Singapore, the place to shop for fabrics and textile.

Seriously, I was drooling all over when I came across the fabric shops. There are lots of cotton fabrics with cute pattern and design! I was about to buy the fabrics, it’s $10 per meter, but later I considered it again as I’m still having tones of fabrics in my stash. Nah, I passed it over.  I would rather buy readymade clothes at reasonable price as I’m running out of em! This time, I will say that I have made a good decision. I packed light, grab 2 boyfriend shirts at Arab Street, and wear it on the next day :)

Oh, have I ever mentioned that I’m a crazy fan of clinchers? Among all of the accessories in this world (be it brooches, necklace, bangle, etc), clincher has always be my favourite! I personally think that a clincher is just perfect to complement a look. They can even turn a simple plain and dull tops into a chic and funky look! I have been collecting them for quite sometimes and still spending to add on the collections. Couldn’t stop myself from buying it ♥

My little collections. Sometimes it’s just so hard to choose between two that I end up taking both of them! Haha.

Welcome home, candies! :)

Next, our journey was to Chinatown Complex. If u’re looking for shirts or key-chains for souvenir, here’s just the right place! Or else, u might end up regretting urself for not buying em as other places are selling at higher price. I grabbed 2 printed shirts for my men (abah and abang). It stated “Singapore is a fine city”.

At night, the travelling agency had brought us to the Orchard Road. The place where branded stores are located. Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Zara, Topshop, u named it. Again, I was amazed as those stores are not available in Malacca! Haha. I didn’t buy anything at Orchard Road, though nothing I can afford for. Ops, not to forget that I have bought my first ever flip flop! It’s from Reef. The Silver Fox was killing my foot, like seriously :(

On the 2nd day, our focus was to spend the entire day in the Universal Studio. But later after breakfast, we did manage to stop by Geylang road and did some shopping before we headed to the Universal Studio.

Here are some of my catches at Geylang road: tones skirt, paisley tunics, unbranded sport shoes, and long sleeve nightgown (baju kelawar, haha) for emak. The printed tiger bag was bought at the Universal Studio, for my lovely niece Sofea :)

J&J Mesra and Singapore zoo

Hello readers, remember about my previous entry on a coming vacation to Singapore? Being there on the 6th and 7th of Dec and was totally enjoying the holiday! It was such a wonderful journey and will definitely become a memorable time for me. Let’s start with the bas persiaran and the traveling packaged that we joined. It’s the J&J Mesra Travel and Tours Sdn Bhd.

Our journey started as early as 4am. There was a van that came and picks us at home. Supposedly, we will be going to Singapore by bus, but later the traveling package was having some problem, the bus was full and they were to change our schedule to 7th and 8th of Dec. Ayah was all unsatisfied as he only got 2 days leave for the holiday. End up, the traveling agency had found a van for us to convoy the bus.

The problem is when the traveling agency had assigned a driver who is unfamiliar with Singapore road. There were few times when we had accidentally lost the bus track and got lost. Other than that, I can say that I’m quite satisfied with the package. The foods are great (rate: 4.5), accommodation is ok (rate: 3), places visited are fantastic, but transportation is below expectation.

Our first pit stop was at R&R Pagoh. It was around 6am, we got to perform subuh prayer and had our breakfast which is nasi lemak.

The Singapore Zoo. It’s clean and well-managed. There are few facilities which are provided for rental. Bicycle, etc. After all, nothing much to say as I’m not into zoo and fauna, plus, I was bearing serious pain due to uncomfortable shoes. Sigh.

Singapore, I’m coming!

I can hardly remember the last time I went for a vacation, outside Malaysia to be exact. Mak and abah used to bring us for holiday during school break, but as we growth up and registered in boarding school, it was hard to gather the 4 of us. Indirectly, the practice has been lessen.

But for this coming trimester-break, I’m all over excited to know that I will be going to Singapore! After a long time of vacationless, I believe that it will definitely become an exciting journey :) Herm. What to expect in Singapore? I have heard about the Universal Studio, Pulau Sentosa, Penguin show, Singapore zoo, and most of all, Singapore is having year end sales on December!
