Singapore

Just came back from Singapore a few hours ago. And I would say that Singapore is awesome in the shopping department. The food was average, but expensive; because of the currency. Pffft.
I enjoyed shopping there so much. I stayed in Singapore Marriott in Orchard Road, and my dad even booked a junior suite. Syiok. I had to sleep in a extra bed though. Still, so awesome.

We flew to Singapore via Firefly; online booked. By my mom. So surprising, but I helped her so that's not as surprising anymore.

The reason we (mom, dad, me) went to Singapore was to shop for winter clothes for the trip to Paris and London. Oho, I can't wait. And 3 days after that, Korea. Also, my dad's friend came along, with his wife and daughter. We were guided around by another of my dad's friend who lives in Singapore.

I didn't bring my camera. Too heavy, meh.

Service in Marriott was so-so. The suite we stayed in was the only one with two queen-sized beds, and was quite spacy. So when we reached Singapore 3 days ago, checked in, and unfortunately the guests haven't checked out yet. My dad released his fury on the staff and us (meaning my mom and I). Couldn't really blame him though; the room was pretty exclusive, and the guest was supposed to check out latest by 2pm. But we waited (aka shopped) until 5pm, but they were still cleaning up. So the staff just gave us a temporary room to dump our stuff.

While waiting for the room to be finished - around 2pm-5pm - we shopped around at Ion. Ion has quite a load of stuff, and there was Uniqlo there! I love Uniqlo, homigosh. I regretted not visiting the really huge one in Isetan, in Tokyo. But ended up shopping in the airport, but that was like almost a year ago, so um. Nevermind.

Anyways, the Uniqlo there was quite big. I love Uniqlo's clothes because they're simple and stylish! And, of course, comfortable. I bought quite a load of stuff there, and it was just the first day. So my mom said, 'I guess we bought what we already need...' But of course, nothing is enough. *wink*

What you can see here are things from Uniqlo.

Black cap-hat-thing-IDK, dark skinny jeans, checkered long shirt, graphic long shirt/dress.

What you can't see because of my lousy photography skills are another pair of gray skinny jeans, and some lala-looking knee socks (which my mom bought for me).

For dinner, we ate some SGD20 or SGD25 chicken rice in Mandarin Oriental. It was good, but too expensive! That's like 60 ringgit for a soup, rice, chicken, with three different sauces; black sauce, chili (I don't know what it's called), ginger. But I'd have to admit, the chicken was delicious. So tender and juicy, nomnomnom.

The next day, ate breakfast at some executive breakfast thing in the hotel. The food choices were so little. My dad's friend went downstairs to the tea there, there was a bigger variety. So we decided to eat there the next day.

After eating breakfast, we went shopping. Which is the whole point of this trip. So we went to Takashimaya, which is also another shopping complex. Zara, Forever 21, Cotton On, Topshop etc etc. Paradise! There were many department stores too, like Isetan etc.

I also love Cotton On. They recently opened a store in Malaysia - the shop is a little like the other younger generation brands, like Forever 21. And I'm super happy because I wear M size now instead of L/XL. So I was super glad. And did I mention super duper happy?



What you can see here is;
Sequined black tank top, Union Jack shirt, 'parlez vous francais' shirt

I love the shirts in Cotton On. Especially the long ones.

Then I went off to buy some Ray Bans. I've been wanting these for quite a while!
Also, you see the iPhone there? The adorable cover?
It's this..




It's like a man hugging the iPhone. It's called 'iHug', by Trexta; and I bought this in Tangs. You can find it in official Apple product selling places, but it's SGD10 cheaper in Tangs. And Tangs is just beside Marriott. Which is my hotel. So it's just so convenient like that.



Bought this too at Tangs; Union Jack laptop sleeve by Pat Says Now. I think the thoughts of going to London is getting to my head.

Tried Mos Burger. We don't have any Mos Burger in Malaysia, so I decided to drag everyone to try.
We ordered like 6 burgers, one for each person. It was average; the special one was the yakiniku rice burger, which is like pieces of beef sandwiched between two rice patties. There was another seafood one also, not bad too. But I think the best one was the normal Mos beef burger. Delish.

I forgot, but we went to a really big shopping mall/convention centre, and just nice it was some cosplaying festival thing. I wanted to go kaypoh for a while, but we were all leaving already. I saw some people dressed up as goth lolitas, Naruto, some bleeding dude, Star Troopers (wtf), and more. Gah!

Had chinese food for dinner, was pretty expensive. I forgot what it was called.. thanks to my awesome memory. *cough*

There was a end-of-sale promotion in Etude House on the way back, and they were giving away free masks, so why not?

Natural jelly cleansing puff (wtf is that IDK my mom told me to use it), black head remover, sunblock, eyeliner (finally, my own), and a cute free facial cloth wrapped like a muffin.

There was actually two of the cute muffin facial cloth thing, but my mom took the pink one.

Ah well. Also, they gave free masks too. And I got a free membership card, which is useless in Malaysia. But it looks so adorable. So pretty, tiny and pink.

The next day, ate at the lobby breakfast area as promised; was alright. Like any other breakfast you get in hotels. There was about 4 hours until we went back to Malaysia, so we.. shopped. Nothing much today, because we wouldn't want to walk too far in case we miss the plane.

So I got this skirt.. which are like bloomers inside. Quite puffy. I'm probably going to wear it to Europe with knee socks so I can look like a lala and nobody will care because nobody from Malaysia can see me with my lalaness so I won't be embarrassed.

But not really (but maybe).

I need to make up my mind.
Anyway, that's all for today - I'm tired, and I still have to go back to school tomorrow.
2 more weeks until the holidays; and expects a ton more pictures from Paris and London!

Note: short (no heeled) boots are hard to find in Singapore. *sadface*
