Crocs Expo Sales 2011

The long awaiting Crocs Expo sales is here at last!

I went to the Crocs member preview sales on fri morning 9am.

You need to register online for tickets. limited to 2000 people only.

One is able to bring a friend along. 

I'm pretty happy with the staff. They do check that you have the ticket before allowing u to enter.

Some of the kiasu people without the ticket are told to sit outside while we members with tickets get to enter first.

Stickers are also given to people who wear crocs! i tot there's freebies.. end up i think is just for them to know that you wore ur own crocs and did not steal from them. -_-

cashier queue at around 10.30

 Reseller or super Crocs fan?

 Take the sizes then choose later! The hall is not crowded and spacious enough for people to enjoy choosing their shoes. kudos to the event organizer again!

So, how cheap are the shoes? Crocsband is about $30 when retail sells at $64+. more than half price! McCall selling at $25. Jiggbits (the buttons) cost $2 each when usual is close to $4. 

For the jiggbits, there's the disney series, garfield, hello kitty, doreamon, 3D types, those with lights when shake,etc. There's also a scoop the jiggbits at $5 only!

Other accessories includes handphone pouch, mug holder, hairbands at $1, blah blah.

There are latest shoes at the sales. Like those that look like sneakers and slip ons.

This is a sales nt to be missed! last day today! don't miss it!

So, what if you can't get what u want or you missed the sales?
Crocs 1st new outlet shop is opening at Changi City Point #02-41. it is located just beside Expo MRT station.

Tanglin Mall Bazaar

Tanglin Flea / Bazaar
it is helded on the first sat and third sat of the month.
for November, December, January it is held more than twice a month.
So, how to register for the flea?
This flea stalls are thru balloting.
Here are the steps:
1. on the last day of the month-2 of the month you want to rent the stall, you need to call tanglin mall customer service to ballot.
eg you want to rent for November 2011. you need to call in on September 30 to ask when is the next ballot days. I called up on September 30 and they say it would be on 10-11 October, before 8pm. yes is on a Monday and Tuesday.
2. Next, you have to personally visit the customer service counter at Tanglin Mall to ballot for the flea.
eg on october 10, you go to the counter and fill up the form. you need ur NRIC with you. If I'm not wrong, only singaporeans and Singapore PR can ballot. you don't have to pay for the rental yet.
3. wait for their call. if you get it they will ring you up. in the past they told be that I will know the result on xxx days but I didn't get the call. but a week or two later, they called to say I've won a stall and gave me the stall number
so do expect some delay. you are suppose to go back tanglin mall customer service counter to pay your rental. is $85 as of now. the price is getting more and more expensive. probably because they can guarantee the crowd. I've been to afew flea markets and the earning is negative. only tanglin is the best so far.
4. just wait for the actual day! u can start your stall from 3pm till 11pm.

Here's a link on Steve Jobs stuff.

Wild Honey

Its dinner at Wild Honey, located at Mandarin Gallery. They have colorful wordings on the menu. I can't take photo of it as the staff stopped me from taking. I mean, y can't i take? their menu is on their website too. unreasonable.  Anyways, the food is nice. The plate is served hot so be careful. Chairs and tables are homely. Its also quite crowded when we reached around 7, probably because the space is quite small.

Sweet Morning

 

hot mangoes in the thick toasts

Canele macarons

Canele macarons. just to show the packaging and how they look like. I bought 12 for $21+. Normal price i guess. Its for a birthday present. If the receiver likes sweet desserts, they properly will like macaroons too.

I like the food here - Cumi Bali Indonesian Restaurant. Food is definitely good but abit pricy. There are located between Tanjong Pagar and Chinatown. There are many bridal shops along Tanjong Pagar Road.

Service, good. Food, Very very good. Portion of food, they will cook based on how many ppl u have. so, just choose what u want. Ive been here many many times.

 In front of the shop is this building. Quite easy to recognize.

Wedding Dinner at Furama RiverFront Hotel

Wedding Dinner at Furama RiverFront Hotel @ Havelock Road. There's another Furama Hotel at Chinatown so don't get lost. From what i heard, it is also located next to the famous high class geylang, Xin Tian Di. You may go there by cab or alight at the bus stop in front of Miramar Hotel and walk to it. The food, average. The staff, don't seem to have much experience, be it the way the collect the plates or distribute the food. But still, acceptable. no complains. just average lor.

When i saw it, i tot it is just another Japanese ramen shop. When look closer, they are actually selling Japanese Pasta. As compared to Waraku, I prefer this. Why? bigger in portion and tastes good. There's this i have to come back feel after dining. I went to the outlet at Somerset 313. It may seems small, but there's quite a few seats hidden behind that you can't see from the main entrance. Where is it located at Somerset 313? Just go up the escalator somewhere in front of New Look, if u are coming from the MRT. Turn to the right and u can see it. Yes, level 1 of somerset 313.

 free small cup of soup when u order a plate of pasta

This is the Japanese Style Extra Virgin Oil & Garlic Taste - Cuttlefish Ink and Karasumi Dried Mullet Roe

 This is Western Style Soy Sauce and Butter Taste - Fresh Nori. Shrimp and Clam. New taste for me. love it. Its not very oily, just right butter taste, QQ noodle and shrimps. There's no sand in the clams too.
