Singapore questions thread

^^ Have never bothered with Muddy Murphys - its always been too expensive.

You can't really avoid Harrys though as they are everywhere on the island.

[kingwilly]

sing girls are aching for it.

12 SGD is quite reasonable as some clubs are really nice,

In Cowboy, a nice import is already 220 THB (ask Scampy he paid a big round last time we were there) and it's in some shit hole agogo with cheap whores everywhere

[bustak]

thanks again, & I'll let you know when I'm on my way sbf, looking forward to it!

[kingwilly]

hey slim (or other knowledgeable friends),

I recently read in the newspaper about a shop in Singpore, it buys and sells 2nd hand (preloved) brand name handbags etc....

I'm in the market for a LV bag, but $2000 is a bit much for me,

a trip to sing for a weekend and some shopping might be in order, to you know of the shop? location, number?

thanks in advance.

[slimboyfat]

better go to china and buy one smuggled out of the factory. Shenzen is good for that apparently

[kingwilly]

i'm looking for the real deal, do u know the shop?

yes or no.

[slimboyfat]

no, i dont tend to visit second hand shops.

get her a new one you cheapskate.

i will ask around in the office next week.

Bugger . . . I know the one you mean, it was featured in the Straits Times recently . . .I'll see if I can get the info.

go to Paris, that's where all the Asians go to buy their LV, cheaper than anywhere !!!

[slimboyfat]

was it this one? the shop is in the Orchard Road area.

Yes I guess it probably was because they have a press coverage page too

My, my, aint we the snob.

I'm a teacher, remember, well poor.

I'd love to, but airplane to Singapore $50 vs airplane to Paris $1000

was it this one? the shop is in the Orchard Road area.

I think so, thank you for that!

You got the frock and shoes to match that bag mate?

[slimboyfat]

No not a snob. I just dont buy anything expensive enough to warrant gettin it second hand.

And in fact there aren't many second hand shops here. No charity shops at all as far as i know

[kingwilly]

I'm trying to decide if you're being serious or not;

as in making spurious accusations about my sexuality,

or pointing out that if she has a LV bag, she also needs matching ensemble...

[Butterfly]

buy a fake one, she won't see the difference

the best ones are from Tawain but they can be quite expensive, 30% of the real price

they are being regularly sold at the official LV shops in Thailand for the full LV price, a staff con, but the stupid rich Thai don't see the difference anywhow

[kingwilly]

buy a fake one, she won't see the difference

I'd only have to get caught once.....

[slimboyfat]

Seriously I don't think you should start a trend of buying her expensive branded goods. My wife is happy with Carrefour carrier bags.

[jandajoy]

My wife is happy with Carrefour carrier bags.

Got a bit of a posh one heh?

7/11 bags seem to be adequate.

[slimboyfat]

Carrefour bags to be seen with

7-11 bags for bin liners

McDonalds and KFC bags for picking up my dogs doings - just for the thought that some bin rummager would find the bag and think he had struck gold - only on closer inspection to find that he had a bag of McShitNuggets.

[Rascal]

Live in Bangkok but want to travel a bit this fall, is this a nice trip? Affordable not rich as all Thai's think! thanks

[Airportwo]

I was in Lucky Plaza a couple of weeks ago, there used to be a couple of good second hand watch shops there - they have gone, anyone know where?
What i did notice though was about three shops, as above selling second hand designer hand bags......

[slimboyfat]

^ Dunno mate. As far as I know the only thing worth going to Lucky Plaza for is to pick up a Filipino maid on a Sunday.

And Rascal I don't want to make assumptions but you may find it too expensive if you are expecting similar prices to the rest of SE Asia. The beer prices make the UK look cheap, and hotels are quite steep too. I like Singapore and many other people do too - but there are some people on this board for which it is not their cup of tea. Still if you never go, you will never find out. You could probably see most of what you want to see in 3 or 4 days.

It might be more worth coming over in the middle of next year when the 2 integrated resorts (hotels, casinos, theme parks etc) are finished.

but the stupid rich Thai don't see the difference anywhow

Is KWs wife a stupid rich Thai?
