Shopping?

For the past three weeks, there was this never ending shopping spree that i was engaged in but thank God it had come to an end. I am not saying shopping isn't fun but it can be a dread if you're to walk and continue walking from 10am until 8pm at night roughly. Almost everyday. Nevertheless, let me do a summary of the shopping sprees that i had right here right now.

The busiest airport i've been to, frankly, is Singapore's Changi Airport so far and it's truly an enjoyable shopping experience. I think its airport is more than enough to make Singapore a well established tourism country. We reached Singapore for transit to Perth on the same day. So we spent the whole afternoon roaming in its 2 terminals, which we bought 4 bottles of wine ALREADY. I am from Perth and i would have to admit that Australia's shopping is not comparable to Singapore's. It's just too dull. We stayed in Perth for 3 weeks and there we went back to Singapore again, stopped by to do more shoppings that we missed.

Thank God we stayed in Orchard Hotel located just right along the Orchard Road itself. We couldn't help but to spent our first evening strolling and sight-seeing Christmas decors along the long-winded Orchard street while hunting for big "Sales/Discount/Bargain" signs. Our cab driver told us it was because of Bush's visit to Singapore recently that all Singaporeans tried to show how well lit Singapore is during Christmas season that they put up the decors much earlier this year. Okie. Thanks to Bush then.

Next day, we spent our times in Suntec City which consists of four towers. Suntec is nothing much but just being big. Talking about big, the BIG happening in Singapore is really the recent opening of its Vivo City near Singapore's habour front. Man! Geez! Damn heaps of people. Seemingly like each every residents, human beings in Singapore all moved to live in the shopping mall like that!! People mountain people sea (this is a direct translate and only Chinese who actually speak chinese can understand this). Check this mall out. The new shopping mall is connected to the old Harbour Front shopping centre. And be prepared to be lost in it. Bring your compass if you want.

Regrets in Singapore:
1. Did not spot any Skin Food established in Singapore yet. So sad.
2. Spotted a Missha store in Vivo City but the choices are very limited. Lack of products.
