This is the start of “Week 1″. It is the second week of school at NUS because the semester started with “Week 0″. Yes, how very much like computer people to start counting from zero. Week 1 is where orientation is over and classes officially start. Week 0 at NUS wasn’t overly crowded. Today, I’m seeing congestion everywhere.

Levi’s Jeans At Under $40
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?
The $5 Giordano Sale
A $5 sale is a sure way to attract crowds of Singaporeans. I just just standing in front of this Giordano outlet at West Mall yesterday and saw this swamp of people flocking to the shop. They had just put up a $5 sign over a wagon of T-shirts. It was some sort of a one-hour special. In a span of about one minute, they drew the crowd pictured in the photo.
School Opens with Shopping Again
The new school term has begun, and the Bazaars at the National University of Shopping are back again. It seems there are more stalls too. The LT27 foyer as pictured here, for example, hasn’t been so crowded in a while. The stalls still haven’t changed that much.
Cold Storage is Charged
This 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
“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”.
