singapore - general discussion

[yupsterism]

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.

dress shoes ill prolly buy on the spot. but i'm not gonna buy the lumiere shoes and other stuff at the same time. sorry if im poor and cant buy everything in a lump at retail price. i didnt mean to offend you or anything of that sort.

Hey no offence. I am just saying no shop will like it if you are there to try the sizes in order to get it cheaper from another place.

[bahnahnahs]

[rocker4life]

[Persia]

what is going down my S town friends and foes,

hope all is well.

What's the weather like this week? Weather.com says daily thunder storms. Is raining throughout the day? Should one pack a really light weight water resistant jacket?

Thanks

[intermission69]

mr weather.com is lying. Its been sunny and hot for the past few days. A brolly would be good if it rains.

Does anyone have any recommendations for nail salons that do nail art?

[poof]

No, it was pouring for like half an hour today morning at north. weather is seriously unexpected lately.

[Joel_l]

[tradebark]

Just wanted to say thanks to the original thread starter.. I'm going to be visiting SG for the first time in a couple weeks and I'll probably be checking out a bunch of those spots.

Any recommendations for what to do/where to go over there?

[yupsterism]

i think im visiting sometime this weekend for one night or so.

1) i have a malaysian cell phone (maxis), but can i make calls from it in singapore?

2) cheap hotel/ motel for one night?

im kinda excited cuz i havent been to singapore in perhaps 15 years. regardless, im pretty sure it's more fun than malaysia.

I loved New 7th Storey Hotel. It's a hostel, but it's not bad at all. I stayed there for 2 nights. It was like $20 a night. Perfect location too.

blah. sad.

The hotel is reacquired by the Government and will cease operation with effect 1st November 2008. No booking after 31 oct 2008 will be accepted, thank you for your understanding.

[azn8oi]

ah, yeah. the singapore crew told me about that. it's being demolished, but I didn't know it was already over. I guess I'm part of the last of an era.

Sorry man.

There are a lot of other choices. Just DONTstay in "Service World Hostel"

--- ghettoest shit I've ever done in my fucking life.

When exactly? Where to go depends on your interests, how long will you be staying?

[WillKhitie]

Same here, im heading out to Singapore from the 30th to the 3rd. Is there anything in particular to watch out for? Sales and whatnot?

Im looking forward to some really good food too. No more drooling while watching the Food Channel. There any particular places you guys recommend for good eats?

[yupsterism]

You missed the members' preview earlier this month for the bazaar sale. 50-80% off on Yohji, Sander, Dries, CDG etc... it's like a threesome with brazilian supermodels.

But Club 21's retail price is often expensive.

Also, any tailors to recommend for alteration of pants? I know CYC, Raffles, Maharaja etc but I'm not sure if their reputation is legit.

You can get em from almost all the Left Foot outlets. There's one at Far East Plaza, and another at Orchard Cineleisure.

there's tonnes of food places to check out. where do i start!

As for shopping, most of the places at the start of the thread are still valid. For up to date information about sales and where to find certain brands etc, visit www.plussixfive.com.

maharajahs is legittt.

[ColdTurkey]

seriously club21 is for people who doesnt do internet shopping......ridiculously overpriced. Their sale items are the retail price in other places, I understand they need to earn some profits but come on............

[yupsterism]

^it's probably the cost to keep the place running in a fuckin 4 seasons hotel.

im sure theyre gonna have another sale for chinese new years. i should come down there again soon.

[shampoosuicide]

Where can I get nice pointy shoes for less than $150? As in, those similar to Swear shoes.

Thanks!

[hellogoodbye]

try Far East Plaza, it's the place to go if you're interested in whored out trends ie. pointy swear-like shoes etc.

[SeventyTwo]

So, what's happenin in singapore for the new year?

Do you guys have any plans yet?

I'm flying to singapore with the gf for new year..any great places to check for new year, asides from clubbing scene?

[Kys]

lol at pointy shoes

club 21 having sale right now, 1st pair 50% off, 2nd pair 60% off final receipt

saw some nice undercover sneakers, too many pairs of lanvins-hi that cant be sold. Alot of hardys and i think those yohji x dr martens has been on that shelf for centuries.
