Blissful Singapore National Day 2011

I really had a ball yesterday. National day becomes blissful national HOLIDAY for me, LOL!
Even i’m married but everyday i feel like i’m still going steady with my hubby, hahaha!
This national day, i went to a lot of places to be explored and you know that woman never gets bored of sight-seeing right, how much more if they’ve seen “BIG SALE”  signs in front of ‘em, it’s really hard to resist those temptations, hihihi :P

Yesterday (8th August), i went to Kinokuniya bookstore – Orchard, the main store.
Somehow, i prefer to go to bookstore than going inside to branded fashion stores, haha, feel like i live in woman’s body but have man’s thought.
FYI, on their 12th anniversary, Kinokuniya is now cutting down their books’ (includes magazines) prices by 20% ’til today (promotion is valid from 8th to 10th August), go get yourself a bundle while the promo lasts!
At first i went there to seek for ELLE magazine (August issue) as advertised on TV, but i couldn’t find it, and apparently it was sold out already. Curious what’s so special about this ’til no more stocks left at the main store? This godsend magazine retails for $8 SGD only and you simply got Elle Beauty Book which comes along with an exclusive ELLE Beauty Addict pouch and some Clinique skincare samples as well!

From Kinokuniya Orchard, i dragged myself to PageOne Bookstore – VivoCity.
Actually when i knew that Kinokuniya Orchard had no stock of ELLE magz, i thought maybe PageOne have some so i made up my mind to go here, but also couldn’t find any!
But i don’t regret went there, coz i found PageOne Graphic Design cube thick book, which shares a lots of unsual various design pictures, worth it! FYI, i didn’t see such book at Kinokuniya.
On the other hand, this book got 20%-off as well (total would be $34.15 SGD after disc), so what else will make you think twice to go get buying it? absolutely NOTHING! :P
When i was at PageOne, i went google for Kinokuniya Bugis telephone number on my iPad to make a call asking whether they still have stock for Elle magz or not (still curious! LOL), apparently they still have it!
Ladies, you still get a chance to grab this 20%-off magz at Kinokuniya Bugis / Kinokuniya Liang Court :)
Once i knew the answer, pretty soon i brought my legs to Kinokuniya Bugis and quickly grabbed one of it.
It costed me $6.4 SGD from $8 SGD actual price, super droolingg!
FYI, i saw ELLE Singapore Facebook fans page, wrote on their wall:

“Gals, do get your ELLE Bonus Bundle at the bookstores!
You’ll receive an additional beauty gift! 

1) Kinokuniya! – receive Clinique 3-Step skin care samples worth $18
2) Times! – receive Elizabeth Arden Ceramide capsules worth more than $11
3) MPH! – receive Make Up Store Home Spa (20ml) worth more than $12″

Soon i just knew every bookstore gives different giveaways, depends on where you spend your money at. Suddenly, i felt lucky found the magazine (worth ’til $18!) at the right place! ;)
Afterwards, i dropped by at BHG Bugis Junction and unintentionally made impulse buying of CarloRino sling bag.
Yeah i turned crazy when i saw that bag, coz the model is so simple and the style wouldn’t surely be out-to-date for good, in addition the zipper has golden color which makes that bag looks elegant. This costed me $65 SGD.
The sales told me the original price is $120 SGD which means the discount is almost up to 50%, yippie!
At the end, here it is, all the total damage is worth $105.55 SGD :D

When i was on my way home walking along iSetan Wisma Atria aisle, i saw cute Samantha Vega bag, one of very famous worldwide brand origins from Japan, and.. well that would be my next-listed hunting, hell yeahh! :P
