You respect your body or her body?

Anyway even between dating couples, it is understood that if they go for overseas holiday, sex will be involved. Your point about dinner/sex is true. Others here are so ignorant.

Speaking of Valentine's dates..

Has anyone been on the flyer yet? Super touristy perhaps, but it seems pretty cool if you can get a private cabin at night.

[hellogoodbye]

on valentines day, they were squeezing 5 couples into every cabin. and it cost $199 per person. SO FAKKING ROMANTIC

[mis]

I saw someone drop 2 bills per ticket for a 45 min ride on that thing during valentines day, and still had to share it with 9 other couples. So I guess it has to fit 20 people at a time. I guess to book out an entire cabin would be 4k

[hellogoodbye]

was it really 10 COUPLES? shit d00d i thought it was 10 people

[Tisswat]

$4000 for a cabin? They better include a private champagne bar, a 5-course meal by Ducasse and a love serenade by Hady Mirza for that kind of money.

It would be cool to have parties up there - if only those pods were bigger.

[defiance]

5 couples, not 10.

and one couple did book an entire cabin, for like $5000.

[styleofmind]

5000 for a cabin? that's pretty fucking intense.

dude must be mega ballin' to be able to drop that kinda coin.

either that or it should be a marriage proposal. and even then, i'd rather spend it on cartier jewellry for her. i'm sure she'd appreciate that more.

[hellogoodbye]

- In-capsule LCD screen to declare love messages

- Romantic themed music to be played in the capsule

- 10 couples per Capsule

you are wrong lah SMH@U

JI detainee Mas Selamat Kastari escapes from Singapore detention centre

SINGAPORE : A massive police operation is underway in Singapore after the leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah network here, Mas Selamat Kastari, escaped from detention at 4.05pm on Wednesday.

A statement from the Home Affairs Ministry says Mas Selamat walks with a limpand is presently at large.

He is not known to be armed and is one of Singapore’s most wanted men.

Extensive police resources have been deployed to track him down after he escaped from the Whitley Road Detention Centre.

Anyone with information about him can contact the police at 999.

Mas Selamat was arrested by the Indonesian police on Bintan island in January 2006.

He was picked up then for using a fake identity card.

Based on investigations then, Indonesia’s elite anti—terror police discovered he was the leader of the Singapore Jemaah Islamiyah network, a terrorist organisation.

They then deported the man to Singapore in 2006.

The 45—year—old father of four was also said to be involved in JI’s plans to mount attacks against foreign and local establishments here.

These included the US Embassy and American Club, the Defence Ministry headquarters at Bukit Gombak and the Education Ministry building at North Buona Vista Drive.

Mas Selamat fled Singapore in December 2001 following an Internal Security Department operation against the terrorist organisation.

The militant leader had been on the run after Singapore authorities discovered plans to crash seven truck filled with bombs at various locations around the island.

Investigations also revealed that he was the mastermind behind a plan to hijack an airplane and crash it into Changi airport.

When he was last arrested in Indonesia, officers found literature on bomb making on the man.

Mas Selamat’s deportation to Singapore two years ago was seen as a significant development in the close network of cooperation amongst intelligence officers in the region to share information on terror suspects and to defeat the terror threat.

The islandwide manhunt has fanned out to areas in Beauty World in Upper Bukit Timah and Goldhill Avenue near Barker Road.

Officers are also knocking on homes asking residents if they have seen the escapee.

Police have also formed a formidable blockade around Malcolm Park, near the Singapore Chinese Girls’ School. — CNA/ch

[Alphonse]

I was looking for some recomendations on vintage or second hand jean shops in Singapore. For whatever reason I've decided that I just need some orange tag 505s. House of Japan is the only place I know to look and I went there earlier today with no luck finding a decent pair my size (30). I know you can get this stuff on ebay but I'd rather get it from some store here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. . .

[peeboy]

hmm i guess the next best place is flea markets? oh yeah try the salvation army too.

anyway did anybody get anything from the guerilla store? they are having 30% off but i didnt see anything nice there. :/ i wish they would bring in more hats and accessories.

and can anybody confirm if billetdoux carries bandofoutsiders? because i was at the website and it says it is one of the stockist.

SS was pretty good. Much much more than what they brought in for Hedi. Dont know about FW. They havent' brought in FW yet. During this time last year, they have already started bringin in new FW stuff.

They have like a dozen different white shirts, many T, jeans and even accessories like wallets and shoes. But given many are still around there during sale time, next season they might bring in less DH by KVA.

So you are probably better off going to HK. But I don't know why you are keen on DH now. With KVA at the helm, it looks a bit different to me.

there are those lumiere du nord and classic shoes that i wanna try on. most likely wont buy em on the spot but it'd be great to know my size so i can buy em online if they go on sale.

i'm never crazy about buying expensive designer tshirts or jeans. i like to spend more on good shoes and jackets. and few designers can really fuck up when it comes to those departments.

i might fly to HK. flights seem to be really cheap from KL. but we'll see. still dont know how expensive HK really is.

[Joel_l]

the HK dollar is weaker then the RMB now.. so it might make more sense to go HK. Plus, they give great service too... cant say the same about club21 sometimes...

Em, you want to go so you can try on their sizes and not buy?

Bet you will be a hit there.

Prices aint exactly cheaper. HK during final call was not even 50% off for DH boutiques and heard Joyce dont do 50% for DH stuff no more.
