Any of you interested in getting Coach or Kate Spade items?
My cousin is based in US now and they're having a sale now (unlike Singapore).
She will help us get the stuff and ship it back to SGD as Coach and KS only accept US-based CC.
Coach is having 20% off all bags only.
Kate Spade is having 20% off storewide.
Even if original price, it's much cheaper than buying in SG even if u convert to SGD and postage.
With the discount now, you get to save more! Hehe.
Will meet up to pass you the items.
For reference: my feedback at _spreeee (+144)
( I love Kate Spade & Coach! )
I will not weight every item as it is time consuming.
So if you're not comfortable with this, pls dun spree with me.
I will consolidate all the orders and ship to my place to reduce shipping costs (Using Priority Mail by USPS). Otherwise if i ship one by one to your individual places, it will be very very expensive. And then once the items are here, i will meet up and pass you guys your items. :)

For example, i want to buy this bag... KATE SPADE CLASSIC NOEL STEVIE
Link: http://www.katespade.com/p
KATE SPADE ITEMS
= Price of item listed online X discount X exchange rate
= 385 X 0.8 X S$1.55
= S$477.40
Shipping: S$25
Total cost: 477.40 + 25 = $502.40
Definately cheaper than in stores where they're selling it around S$700 if i remember correctly. So i'll save about $200. Hehe.
If you want to compare to see if purchasing from US or S'pore is cheaper, you can check out the branches here -> Raffles City Level 1, Takashimaya Level 1. Not sure where are the other branches in Singapore though. Please dun ask me, i wont know. I dun work for KS. :)
Happy Shopping!
1) I took S$600 for expenses. And came back with only S$0.20 (yes, 20 cents!)
2) Our return flight to Singapore was scheduled at 2215.
2100: Just finish dinner
2100-2110: Back to hotel (which is FANTASTIC!)
2110-2120: Pack our stuff in the hotel to airport
2120-2140: Cab to Airport
(Mind you, we were supposed to check in at least 45 mins earlier)
Cab ride was so exciting.
a la Amazing Race style.
Traffic was so bad and blocking our way, and we had to RUSH to the airport. So we had to wind down our windows and asked the motorcyclists to move to the left, "Kiri kiri!", we shouted. each time a car cut infront of us, we curse and swear. We must have sinned alot on the cab ride!
Taxi driver was fantastic!
Really speed thru the streets.
And even cross over to the opposite lanes when cars are blocking our way.
Contingency Plan upon Arrival at the Airport
Manman: Pay cab fare
Leong: Grab trolley
SJ: Run to check in counter
Me: Take luggage out from boot
2140-2145: Ran all over the stupid airport with lugaage in hand. Didnt help that the check-in counter was all the way to the end and we didnt managed to see SJ there! *Panic mode!*
Horrors! Check in counter has been closed!
the kind staff helped open another counter and check us in.
No overwight luggage.
Phew.
2200: Flew to the departure gate. Had to pay taxes. Had to walk quite far too. Curse and swear.
2210: Reached the boarding gate. And totally crashed onto the chairs.
2215: Board the flight home.
0348: Online now.
The trip was awesome!
More next time!
I need to sleep...
PS: I have braids in my hair! :)
Our Hotel
So we decided to indulge ourselves and go for the upscale hotel.
We wanted to book a villa, but it's really too ex since there's too few of us.
So yes, over indulgence with our more than $120 / night hotel. In fact, they say it's the 2nd best hotel there.
Singapore's equivalent would be Ritz Carlton? Haha.
I have no idea.
Good bye world while i have non-stop pampering for the next few days!
I am soooo looking forward to the soothing massages and sea sports!
AMAZING!!!
Take care and love love!
bye bye sad life.
bye bye passing to phy geog.
bye bye getting a good gpa this sem.
Hello to parties and life!
Hello to sleep!
Hello to getting a low GPA.
Hello to taking phy geog next sem
Hello to 2 new pimples
Hello to holidays!!!
I dun give a bloody damn about exams anymore!!!
Love my friends so so much.
you guys are just so totally awesome people.
I swear if i die, i will come back and take care of all of you.
And haunt those who tries to bully you!
Meeting my lovely PACE friends for gathering
Meeting my loviest classgirls for slumber party.
What an excellent way to mark the end of exams and kick start the holidays!
Ever so supportive always.
If you dunno by now, i am thinking abt breaking my bond.
We will see what happens okay?
Anyway...
The whole Bali trip is on the verge of being scrapped off after the execution of the bombers.
It's quite sad cos i was sooo looking forward to it.
Right now, we have no idea what to do with our plane tickets.
Well, we're not even sure if we want to go anot.
So we're thinking of heading elsewhere.
Aust is out.
Cambodia, vietnam, phillipines, taiwan, hk left.
Cambodia - we have been there before.
Vietnam - i have been there before.
Phillipines - hmmm. Come back with a maid?
Taiwan - too cold
HK - Been there
You know where i really want to go?
Shanghai.
Have been my dream since a long time ago but no one to travel with.
But i hope to go with Sam cos i know she misses Shanghai and she can bring us around too.
But not now, and i really dunno when too.
So anyway.
I was thinking thailand - Krabi.
But thailand...
I might either be going Bintan or Bangkok with my other friends.
BKK cos it's really cheap now and i want to shop.
Bintan cos it's alot of water activities which i love.
Both will cost abt the same...
But one things for sure, we will definately be gg somewhere.
Was so stressed today.
Decided to do some pampering.
Went for spa.
Wanted to go earlier on sat but they couldnt accomodate me.
So went today.
SOOOOOOO NICE CAN?!
I actually fell asleep at the massage cos it was sooo goood.
If not for the fact that i am not working now, i would have signed up with them.
After that, decided to indulge in some retail therapy.
Yes yes, the recession is coming.
But that doesnt mean i cant be happy too right?
Moreoever Metro was having 20% off.
Stocked up on essentials (buying needs is never a crime)
Saw some sundresses. Too bad, no time to try.
I love sundresses man. So easier to wear.
And cheap too.
Just wear and then when it's time to throw, not so heartpain.
And of floral prints too!
Me love flowers!
=DDD
So anyway.
Let's just say i brought enough from Loreal to join their membership.
Hahaha.
Wanted to buy this Biotherm eye cream after reading rave reviews online.
Trust me, my dark eye circles are so bad...
I wont blame you if you mistook me for a panda.
After all, we're of the same size and i love wearing black. Haha.
But i remember i had $200 worth of Taka voucher not used.
Saw a guess bag that is perfect for school too.
After exams, i am soooo gonna shop and make use of those vouchers!
And i still have
- $20 Bens and Jerrys voucher
- $100 Zara voucher
- $50 Isetan voucher
- 2 movie tickets at Cathay
- 1 Spa voucher with Amore
all to be expired by end 2008!!!
So yes, after exams man.
MAJOR SHOPPING TIME
Gonna drag Sindhu with me to destress!
And right now, i am thinking abt moving out of hostel cos i cant imagine living on my own.
I need my family and friends around me.
So i will see how it goes.
I will stay home for one sem and then stay in hall again next yr.
Alright, i really need to study now.
Wish me lucks for exams okay?
I really need all the luck i can get.
Try to give me many birdies yeah?
More birds, more luck.
I have not been exercising recently.
No time.
After my exams, twice a week!
With my dear manman.
And i have a comms ball to attend next month.
2 weddings in dec, 1 wedding in jan.
Hmmm.
What should i wear? what should i wear?
But it's okay.
I have plentiful of dresses!
But the thing is...
I want to shop leh... hehe.
Oh the other hand, let me just say that online shopping is prob the best invention after escalators, lifts and aircons.
I just received my shoes from US and they fit soooo perfectly!
And it's the same pair that Sarah Jessica Parker wore in Sex and The City!
YAYNESS!
I have celebrity heels!
okay, i really gtg.
Take care everyone. Love u all.
*hugs*

Oh my god.
I swear you guys are like totally awesome people! :) :)
Thanks for all the support you have given me! Really really really appreciate it. You wouldnt believe how many emails i had after that post! 124 messages to my inbox please! OMG. Please give me some time to reply each and every one of you okay?!
From enquires about the camera to your comforting emails, i am deeply touched by your actions really. At least i know that there are some people out there (and that's alot of you!) who loves me. I really appreciate all the support you guys are really giving me. Serious. I couldnt be any more thankful.
Anyway, the camera has seen some great response! Apparently, this is supposed to be a damn bloody good camera la. Haha. Anyway, some of you have asked me to come up with a bidding system for it. But i am afraid i am not going to. My main purpose of selling it is not to earn (trust me, if i wanted to, i would have marked up the price) but rather to help get rid of it.
And to some of your suggestions and comments, and also my response to your emails, i told some of you to keep watch because over the next few days i will be posting more items up!
Now, below would be a summary of items that will be up over the next few days. If any of you are interested, just email me straight. Also help me save time posting here. Haha.
Well, to address all the concerns and questions about why i didnt want these items, let me make it clear that the items i am selling are absolutely brand new, still in packaging/tags. These gifts were actually supposed to be for my ex's 22nd birthday. And i was planning to give him 22 different items. So you will see quite a number of stuff i am putting up for sale here.
And some of you enquired and asked why not give it to friends or my brothers. But the thing is... I dont want to meet my friends or see my brother wearing stuff that was intended for him. And instead of throwing it away, i rather sell it off (to recoup some $$) to someone who can appreciate it. Besides, they are all brand new, really very sayang if just throw it away! And as a buyer, i am sure you will appreciate these cheaper prices. :)
So yes! The list of upcoming items that i will be posting up from next week onwards!
1) Kenneth Cole RSVP cologne
2) Five Star Travel Voucher for 2 to Tioman Island (just need to head over to 5 star and use voucher to redeem holiday, worth $500!)
3) 1 Levi's T-shirt
4) 1 Nike windbreaker
5) 1 sling bag (cant remember where i got it from!)
6) ASOS male cardigan
7) Cuff Links
8) Zara Tie
There's still more stuff! But i will get back to all of you again! I need to see which are the ones i can return to the retailers and which are the ones i need to sell off. :)
Do check out all upcoming items HERE.
Once again, thank you so much lovely peeps!
*hugs*

I have been really sick the past few days. Down with flu and a fever! I havent been able to come online and settle spree issues.
For batch 1, i only have refunds to do. Mot have been refunded except for 2 of you. I need you to confirm with me your account number. I will email you separately again.
For batch 2, i have mailed out all items except jellywen's as hers is reg mail and none of my family members have time to go to the post office. As for refunds, i have emailed and mentioned that i will try to do all refunds by wed.
