Probably the worst sale ever!

It's that time of year again my darlings - time for the Great Singapore Sale (GSS).

It's shit. And I'm being lenient in saying that. Here's why:

If it's a "GREAT" sale, then it should live up to its expectations. "Great" is just one level below "Fantastic" and not synonymous with "Shitty".

This year, local shops and overseas brands alike have sale sections and nett sections - simultaneously in the store. More often than not, the nett section takes up more space than the sale section. The sale section is not more than 30% off for decent merchandise and 50% off for clothes so bad, they might as well be rags.

You can't even begin to imagine the sheer disappointment I felt when I went shopping week after week since the GSS started, only to feel that the sale is meant to get rid of clothes not worth buying, even at a low price.

Really retailers! Toss out the nonsense and bring in the good stuff at good prices. Now that's a "Great" sale!

The only sale that was worth going for, was the Mango sale. Well done. For the rest - Shame-On- You! The Mango sale was great because they had extremely decent clothing at very low prices and the entire shop was on sale! No nonsense with the nett section and sale section thing. The whole damn shop was on sale. That's just how it should be and no other way.

Other retailers had 50% off torn clothes, stretched out/worn out clothes, stained clothes etc. These shouldn't be 50% off, they should be tossed out or sold at 90% off. And horror of all horrors, I saw stuff that I had seen at a previous sale months ago.

The problem is that there's a trend going around amongst the retailers to have a sale section in the shop all year round. So when the GSS comes around, they don't have anything good to put out on sale! So they take the left overs and pass them off as GSS sale items.

Where's the incentive to pay retail if you're gonna be on sale all year round? I might as well wait a couple of weeks or two months and that thing I wanted would be in the sale corner of the shop.

Can't tell you how many times I've paid retail for something only to find the price slashed by 30% two months later. Whatever items that can't be sold during a turn over (fresh arrival of new designs), should be kept until the GSS or end of year sale.

Till my next post my darlings - The GSS couldn't be more disappointing.

Training for the Great Singapore Sale

One thing men would NEVER understand: Why women get so violent during sales.

The Great Singapore Sale is THE sale of the year. And I was at a mall the other day when I saw women training...in the mall...for the Great Singapore Sale. Well apparently, here're a few things you need to know to have a successful shopping experience...meaning...getting the great bargains and making sure you get what you want - not letting that gorgeous bag leave with some other woman! The only woman leaving with THAT bag...IS YOU!

You'll thank me for this...courtesy of Amore fitness...:

Step 1: Get ready to charge for that bag, sitting there on the shelf..only one piece..












Step 2: Some biatch got to the bag first! It's punch time...aim anywhere. Just make sure it'll hurt enough for her to drop THAT bag!












She's still clutching onto it.

Step 3: Knee her ... anywhere!












Step 4: Brace yourself for a counter attack...biatch, bag, hitting the crap out of you..DEFEND!













Sale's in June, you've got a month to train..all the best. Remember, it's not the strength..it's the technique! ;)
