Go Shopping in the Republic
Yesterday was a full one for me as I needed to make a day trip back to the Republic. As much as I had to wake up wee hours of the morning to get ready and head to the airport, the feeling of being ‘home’ was great. I like to go shopping in Singapore, even though it means I’m not buying anything. I managed to take a sneak peek at the new 313@Somerset yesterday – a truly huge and buzzing mall – I was impressed!
Shopping in Singapore has gotten better as the big brands and cult labels are entering the retail market. In terms of choice and variety, there is no lack. I mean, if you can’t get what you want in Orchard road, you may not get it in other places! Sometimes, people prefer to shop elsewhere to compare prices and to get better deals. But from my personal experience, there are more better deals these days in the retail stores when I go shopping, especially after a busy festive season. I was going to restrain my self from any buying but I couldn’t resist the indie, hip and cool clothing at Womb.
I believe the retail market in Singapore will continue to grow as more tourists and locals continue that shopping and spending trend. It amazes me when I hear about people spending thousands of dollars on shoes, bags and clothing. Then again, they help spur the economy! Finding a branded store is as easy as directory submissions in the web with better customer service in the new malls. There are always personnel to assist you when you are lost in your shopping spree!
Though I’m a local, I am often greeting with new shopping deals, surprises and new malls every year. It feels good to witness new things and new trends but I caution myself not to be swept away by consumerism. That’s another topic altogether, I suppose.
Have a Happy New Year.
