Have you guys realised how things are over-priced in Singapore, especially in Far East?


There's a chain of Korean shops spreading across level 3 to 4, fyi 3 of them are actually under the same boss. Dresses range from $99.90 up, shoes from $120 up. If you happen to find something below this mark, its either really bad (and look cheap) designs or really really poor quality. They do have really nice accessories though, average priced, but other than that, the price and the staffs are of the same quality -- overly stuck up.

Once I happened to walk pass one of the branches at level 3 (opposite the old Lydia), girls and ladies and aunties queueing to enter the shop. LIKE TAKA'S LV. Gosh. I was going so excited about it, thought that it really had something that special inside. Thought.


Gotta mention another Japanese brand huu-haa shop at level 4, few doors next to the famous tattoo shop. IT SUCKS, I'm telling you that. I love the brands they bring in, from Vivi to Sly to Cecil Mcbee, but HELLO? $400 for a Cecil Mcbee polo? You must be crazy. I got mine, original, with tag, brand new, clean and beautifully displayed for less than one hundred sin dollars...and it came with great service. I've never met any girls with good service at that damn shop.

Once I went with Sandy, she saw a really cute umbrella (cant rem which brand) on display and casually asked for the price. The salesgirl (that tried to ignore us from the minute we stepped in) realised that she had no choice but to reply that its not for sale unless u spend a thousand dollars at their little money-sucking shop.

This is Far East? My good ol' Far East?


I dont believe it man.
