Levi’s Jeans At Under $40

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

This pair of Levi’s 514 jeans costs $219 in Singapore. Perhaps a little less with the GSS on, but probably it’s still going to be over $150. I find this horribly expensive to pay for a pair of jeans. I bought this very same pair of Levi’s Jeans at $39.76. This is just a fraction of what you’d have to pay in Singapore stores. Can you guess where did I get the jeans?

Cold Storage is Charged

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

Cold Storage at King Albert ParkThis Cold Storage is charged. With static electricity, that is. How many times have I come to this particular branch at King Albert Park and always find myself painfully zapped by static electricity. Touch this — Zap. Touch that — Zap again. Accidentally brush against someone — Zapped too! I have resolved to stop shopping at this branch. :) It doesn’t happen at any other Cold Storage branches, so I wonder what’s so special about this one.

One Zinger Burger to Go

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

“Just one Zinger burger to go.”

“Okay. Having here?”

“No, to go.”

“Having here?”

Okay, she doesn’t understand “to go”. Alright, perhaps most of us would say “take away” or even “packet”.
