Woohoo!
Kind of finished work.. staying at home to grow mushrooms and reduce damage.. lol.. its the Great Singapore Sales! But i must not go out and buy myself pretty clothes, course I need to save a lot to go Japan!
And so I am "window shopping" online.. Looking at lots of websites regarding Japan! I have like almost 20+ window tabs in my internet browser. lol..
I even made a map with all the must go places in tokyo. Half done right now, still need to add in some other places like akihabara, odaiba and ikebukuro.. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=tokyo&ll=35.680516,139.766135&spn=0.018057,0.03974&om=1
"MUST BUY" things on my list..
How can anyone resist the relatively cheaper and pretty bags sold exclusively in Japan.. Burberry Blue Label
I love this bag soooooo much!!! There's a pink version too! I cannot make up my mind.. I hope they still have this model in stock! This will offset my savings by about $350? But still, with $350 in Singapore, you may not even get anything near the straps of such a bag(ok, i'm talking big here, but the small small gucci bag you see everywhere already cost near $400)!
Disney Store
Remember we had one in Singapore like years ago? I visited one in Odaiba Aquacity the other time I was in Tokyo, but had very little time to buy stuffs.. This time, I will go to the one in Shinjuku Takashimaya! Gonna buy many many cute stuffs back! Especially Pooh Bear!
Harajuku
This is the place to see the most extreme teenage fashion, and has one of the biggest Daiso (4 stories high!), also known as the 100yen shop, cos everything cost only 100 yen! Cheaper than the Daiso in SG.. Heard from Shurong she got cheap(ok not that cheap) clothes from there.. One whole street, called Takeshita Dori, is the birthplace of many new fashion trends.. It is made up of a wide variety of interesting stores (targeting young and cute teenage girls like me!). This area is a window shopper's paradise.
Another street, Omotesando Dori, sells all high end branded stuffs.. It is also the street leading to the famous Meiji Shrine, one of the largest Shrines in Tokyo, dedicated to the late Emperor Meiji.
100yen shop sounds like a good place to get some gifts! hahaha..
Ginza
Who doesn't know about Ginza? High end shopping area, one square meter of land in the district's center is worth more than ten million yen (more than 100,000 dollars), making it one of the most expensive real estate in Japan. It is where you can find the infamous $10 cups of coffee and where virtually every leading brand name in fashion and cosmetics has a presence. Not exactly a must go place, but would be happy to take a look there. I'm not gonna come here to shop.. (Unless there is time for me to shop in Burberry) I'm going there to take a look in the Sony Building.
The newest products by Sony, including DVD recorders, televisions, cameras, audio sets, mobile phones, computers and Play Station products, are displayed to the public in the showrooms in this building. I'm eyeing a few stuffs there anyway...
Akihabara
Akihabara (short: Akiba) is a district in central Tokyo, famous for its many electronics shops. In recent years, it has also gained fame as a center of the gaming, manga and animation culture.
Otakus aside, it is like an electronic geek's heaven! (ehh.. think i'm refering to myself.. lol..) Hundreds of electronics shops of various sizes can be found around Akihabara Station and along Chuo Dori (Chuo Avenue). They offer everything from the newest computers, cameras, televisions, mobile phones and home appliances to second-hand goods and electronic junk.
One of the largest discount electronic stores, Yodobashi Camera, has a large branch at Akiba. This store has a 10% rebate program, whereby they cradit 10% of the amount you spent in their member's card, and the next time you buy things, you can use it to offset your purchase.
Should be getting watches here.. a bit cheaper compared to the ones sold in SG, it's their home country afterall.. Baby-G for my sis! (In the case that she wants one..)
I like this one.. very pretty!
this is fine too..
All these are sold in SG too, saw them in stores already.. But if it's a lot cheaper there, why not???
With that said, let's look at what I am eyeing for...
Sony Vaio LB series
VGC-LB93S
Not out yet in Singapore.
Older version LA series cost $3099 in SG.
A new set cost $2100 in Japan.
Specs are good enough for everything I need. Asthetically pleasing to the eye. What more can I say? Any colour will do!!!
I just need $2000 to drop from the sky. Lol.. (Please let my mum tio 4D!)
Anyway, if my mum really wins 4D, and I get to buy this beauty, I will be topping up another $200 at Yodobashi to get this..
T20! 8.1 megapixels! Selling at $599 in SG.
I will get pink for both!
