After a quick nap to recuperate from the mahjong all-nighter, I met up with the Donkey and his girlfriend Jamie for some shopping. I had to get a few things for my impending trip to Europe and it was just nice that Saturday was the first day of the Great Singapore Sale.
There were quite a lot of good bargains everywhere and I ended up buying more than what I had intended to. Here are a couple of places with pretty good offers:
1. Gramophone - There is a 20% discount on CDs and 15% on DVDs and records storewide. I finally bought Cao Ge's Superman album after pondering over it for the last few months. Before more serious damage was done to my wallet, I dragged myself out of the store after buying just that 1 CD.
2. New Balance - I really needed to get a new backpack as all the pirated North Face bags I bought from Bangkok were in disrepair. After spending the entire evening looking at cheap (but ugly) and gorgeous (but expensive) bags, I finally stumbled onto something that caught my fancy. After a 40% discount, I paid only $21 for it. To say that I was satisfied with my purchase would be an understatement.
Coincidentally, yesterday was also the launch of the Singapore Arts Festival and there was a whole shindig at the Padang. It was our luck then that we were treated to a fireworks display as part of the celebrations. Call me jaded, but I don't get excited anymore with the constant display of fireworks in Singapore. I still think that it is all a gross waste of money that could have been put to better use.
The Donkey offered to lend me his old digital camera for my trip so I should be posting pics here pretty soon. Happy Shopping!
