The Great Singapore Sale

Can you imagine all the shops in a country can be on sale at the same time? You defintely can not say you have seen that if you haven't visited Singapore's "GSS" - a.k.a the "Great Singapore Sale".

How great it can be? Well, just imagine every shop is having promotions.. EVERYWHERE!! How crazy it can be? Well, just imagine all the office ladies would get up by 7am or even 6, get ready and queue up in front of the MANGO shop just for the 70% OFF sale starting by 8.

I guess there is no way you can look down the potential of Singaporeans' "shopping power". Look at Orchard, Bugis, Cityhall during the weekends. It's always packed, like everyday is a pay day for Singaporeans and they have so much money for shopping.

Anyway, it shall coming from how a country positioning itself. Otherwise, Singapore should not have such a national level sale to attract tourists just coming to "So Expensive Nothing to See Anyway" (This is how my friend described about Singapore and made fun of what "Santosa")to do shopping.

See? They even have a logo just for this sale. But at the end of the day, Who doesn't love shopping if you got too much money to spend? That's why I didn't join my colleagues for MANGO sale this morning. If I keep shopping like hell, none of my targeted trip this year would come true... Sigh!
