clean and pretty toilets they have... 😍😍😍
selfie time...
do remember to pop by the customer service counter to collect the vip card... participating outlets will allow customers to enjoy further discount on top of the sale they offer
tax at this outlet is at 9.5%.... and was upset to find out that COACH is not one of the participating outlets.... so no additional discount... but still, managed to help 洪 mama got her bag, original price at usd$268 at a terrific discount... =)
Her criteria - not too big, not too small, best to be just nice for a water bottle, an umbrella and some space for wallets + phone.... =)
bought a cardholder, original price usd$78, for Mr Ang... to be ready for his new job as a Sales and Application Engineer... =)
bought lanyards, original price usd$48 each, for michelle and mab
Anyway, we only spent 4 hours at this outlet as we needed to make our way to our next destination, which was 4 to 5 hours drive away, so that we would reach before the sky got too dark....
lunch was a simple fare at the food court where i paid usd$12 for this gigantic plate of grilled shrimp fried rice.... so so only though...
awesome pics of the view along the drive to our next destination
highway lanes set aside just to encourage carpooling...
metal 'cows'...
