  Hmm... should have bah. At the very least, even if the price remains the same, during this period, there should be some kind of bundling where you'll get free games or something.
  
  Why not go to the malls to check it out?

  Hmm... I did all my shopping for my electronic toys only at one place - Best Denki in Vivo City. I know that they do have special promotions and discounts for selected items, but never went to pay attention to anything else other than the items I were interested in, so sorry, can't recall nor be of any help.
  
  Hope there'll be good discounts around, so you can stretch your dollar!

  Oh, speaking of mobiles, I also bought a mobile last week, but not counted, right? That was before the Great Singapore Sale.
  
  Darnit... as a Singaporean, I am not eligible for GST Rebates when I fly off!

  I did get the GST Offset but it's only for $200 nia!
  
  My air ticket alone costs S$1,300++ already! Factor in my entire expenses during my stay here, I'd say I've spent upwards of S$3,500 liao! But I did get a few gadgets and toys to bring home, so it's well worth it.
  
  Actually, I return to Melbourne on time for their huge Mid-Year Sales!

  I like it when they have enough staff to tend to customers.
  
  I bought from Best Denki in Vivo City because the salespeople there were very polite and helpful.
  
  I actually walked over to Challenger to see what they had on offer, but I returned to Best Denki to make my purchases because the salesperson in Challenger was polite, but not very interested and he had this attitude of "This lady is wasting my time and not going to buy anything type!"
  
  Well, BIG MISTAKE, Buster! Cause I walked back to Best Denki and splurged almost S$900 there at once!

  My regret is that I didn't purchase the N75 that I had my eyes on. I was kinda wondering if there would be service support for that model over in Melbourne cause I wasn't so sure that they'd have seen that model yet over there.
  
  Ah well, I've got a nice Nokia 6300 now that I'm happy with.

  really?
  
  been to Vivo so many times.. and none of the staff in any store/restaurant provided good service. I stopped going there ever since.
  
  I went to Carrefour juz now.. saw the epilators on sale.. so I asked the promoter, whether I can try the one on display.. she said no, for hygiene purpose.. I agree, but I know that other places can try wor. I'm going elsewhere tmr.. want to get one that wun make me feel too painful.

  no leh..
  
  i ever went Sim Lim before, hoping to get my ink cartridge at cheaper price..
  
  but they are selling at the same price lor..
  
  I used to work at Popular before.. things like ink cartridges should be Nett price, and pricing should be same in the market.
  
  Sim Lim sell those chiong ones at cheaper price.

  Ketok lor! I'm happier being ketok'd here than in Melbourne, where you want to let them ketok also cannot cause the range of goods there is just bad!
  
  Anyways, I know that I had good deals because today, I went shopping again and looked at prices and I was pleased with the bargain that I got.
  
  Today, quite gwai... spent only on food and S$119.00 on a 4GB thumb drive.
