Hi,
The Great Singapore Sale has just started, from 23 May to 20 July 2008!
So if you are not already part of it, then plan your visit to Singapore around this time of the year.
All the retail shops are giving discounts, gifts etc during this period... as much as 70% discount....!!!
Even the locals are into it and take advantage of the hotel special package to have the family stay in one of the hotels in the shopping area like Orchard Road so that the parents, mostly the Mum ( ha..ha... ), can shop and rest easily. The rest of the family can enjoy the hotel facilities and the special offers at their B&F outlets.
School holidays are around this period too in this region.
It has already been reported that we have tourists from neighbouring countries, flying in to shop!
So what are you waiting for..? If you are not already here, then plan for the next one....

Great Singapore Sale 2008 kicks off on Friday
SINGAPORE: Retailers rang in S$5.5 billion in sales at the Great Singapore Sale (GSS) last year, but the Singapore Retailers Association (SRA) said it would be tough to beat the 2007 sterling sales performance this year.
With no let-up in labour and rental costs, along with discerning consumer spending in the face of an impending economic downturn, retailers are going all out to give customers more options to exercise their dollars.
The Great Singapore Sale kicks off on Friday and ends on July 20.
Into its 15th year, the sale will offer late-night shopping in Orchard Road and in selected heartland malls such as Causeway Point, Compass Point, Jurong Point and Northpoint.
There will be freebies, weekly lucky draws and competitions, with cash prizes of up to S$100,000 and hefty discounts of up to 70 percent.
Lau Chuen Wei, executive director, SRA, said: "The Great Singapore Sale is not just at Orchard Road where you have the high-end brands and so on. It stretches all over the island, including the heartland centres.
....."
Happy Shopping!
