was exploring chinatown before heading to timbre for pharm dinner
but I left aft 15 mins cos I had to go watch slumdog, its good by the way!!! I think the little boy Jamal is cute. but yes the movie was pretty insightful.
anyway, about chinatown. remember that 42 bucks river island scarf I bought before my trip to korea? and I was talking about how gorgeous it was? I saw the same scarf, the exact same weaving pattern , but a different colour though, being sold for 4 for 10 bucks, and 2 for 6 bucks at some little tourist trap stall ! ARGH. sheesh I couldnt believe I was ripped off that badly! im never going to buy river island stuff again, or rather try not to. or maybe just the scarves la. but then again one scarf in my wardrobe is enough. assuming their cost price was 2.50 (although Im pretty sure it was much less due to economies of scale and all) thats a 1680% profit!
:(((
chinatown was an eye-opener cos it was like this side of singapore which i'd never seen before, tourist trap stalls and all
