The Singapore Stop

Hey heyya everyone~! 
Last weekend was a complete blast cause I had a trip down to the land of the roaring lion, Singapore~
Weekends in Singapore can be very hectic- not only traffic wise but also shopping wise hahaha~ There were many shoppers rushing about and during the peak hours of the day- lunch and dinner especially, most restaurants were either full or totally packed with people! (Packed like a sardine can!!)

I started my Singapore journey in Ion Orchard, a nice mall that goes way underground and has tons of shops! The place is HUGE and one with a bad sense of direction will defintely have a hard time finding their point of destination in this place. This wasn't my first time here in Ion Orchard. In fact it was my 3rd time :) I truly missed this place!!! One good thing about Ion is that it is connected to the MRT, so transportation to this shopping paradise is made easy peasy~  Thus the crowd of shoppers there was immense!!!

My favourite stop in Ion is it's bookshop 'Prologue' which is located on the 4th floor~ it has a really good range of interesting books and vibrant stationaries! The 'Gorjuss' stationary collection on the 2nd floor of this bookshop is amazingly adorable! Have a peek at the pics below!

The Gorjuss stationary collection- notebooks, pens, diaries, bottles, boxes, bags and more

 Bought these mini button badges for $7 (singapore dollars). There are many other designs aside from this set that you see in the picture.

 Sticky notes booklet.

The notebook I bought had a mini compartment inside and it even comes with a pen and bookmark. The pages are all coloured and have different patterns for different sections. 

Ion Orchard has so many other stationary shops with interesting stuff. Among them is Kiki, which is a Swedish stationary collection with wonderful scrapbooks and photo albums. 

Another shop worth visiting was Artbox, a korean entertainment shop with clothes, bags, keychains, stationaries and hair accesories from Korea~ The clothes in Artbox are super cute! I especially liked their hoodies and mini tees (I'm sorry I couldn't take a picture of the apparels... there were just tooooo many people in the shop...) 

I bought this mini folder from Artbox at $4.80. It can open up like a book enabling more storage space weeee~ There are 3 other designs with girls, dogs and some other colourful animal characters.

The food court in the basement area is also a good place with many japanese desserts! It was a Japanese desserts heaven with all sorts of ice-cream, cookies, pancakes and muffins! Milca, a small ice-cream booth has the best macha (green tea) ice-creams ever! Super smooth and with crispy wafer cones! There are now dango ice-creams and that too is oooo sooo gooood! 

Milca was also selling some stuff called 'ice dogs' which seemed pretty popular with the Singaporeans. Perhaps I should try it next time :) 

In the evening, I took a stroll down to Takashimaya and had a good browse through their things. Again, the stationaries there were super cute! They had these small Kutushita Nyanko sticky booklets with cat recipes and cat stories! It was too irresistable! I bought 2 booklets and of different designs~ :

There in Takashimaya as well, they had the 'Gorjuss' stationary collection but with a limited number of things than Prologue's collection. 

There were just sooo many things going on in Singapore that spending just one day here totally drained me (but in a good way~). Isetan is having a special Japanese fashion showcase till next week if I am not mistaken... it has a whole load of trendy Japanese apparels and shoes! If you are a fan of Japanese fashion, you should check it out!!!

I've got good news for those going to Singapore and those who are already in Singapore- The Singapore sales start this week!!! So dear shoppers in Singapore, have a good shopping trip and doo dooo dooo spend wisely~ :) 

This has been Rin's one day stop to Singapore's shopping district Orchard road~ I can't wait to go to the other places in Singapore one day! Marina sands would be next on my list heheheeh~

Till then~ Au revoir mes amis!
