Happy Shopping!

I love shopping at Singapore. Great buys with great values. Don't mention about the currency, SGD. Even after the conversion, the things I bought still cheaper than the one buying in KL.

At this trip, I enjoyed the shopping with my dear sis. We bought almost the similar stuff. No worry, I don't mind to have same stuff with my sister. I got a pair of flats @ SGD20.70, and a pair of flip-flop @ SGD8.70. For clothing, I got a G2000 pant with SGD13, and a short sleeve shirt with SGD9, as G2000 outlet was doing a clearance sales at IMM Mall. Another wonderful buy at Esprit outlet, I got my sleeveless blouse @ SGD15.60. I got my first Cotton On stripe blouse with SGD 15. Yeah, I found this lovely black blouse @ SGD15.60 with a nice ribbon placed at the back of the blouse, it's so unique!

Other than clothing and shoes, I bought my GF1 a camera bag from Lowepro with SGD39. Search online for the same bag selling in KL, it's with RM130 at least! So, i bought it cheaper in Singapore! So happy! 

I think, for a person earning RM and a person earning SGD, the money earned and the spending power totally different. If the person doesn't have SGD with her, she needs to convert the currency to shop at Singapore. For the stuff I have bought, total is SGD136.60, convert to RM with 2.32 as the exchange rate would be RM316.90. So in summary, the person earning RM3k needs to spend RM316.90 to shop while the person earning SGD3k only needs to spend SGD136.60 to shop. You see the difference... is showing significantly our RM is so low in value! 

I am living, working at Malaysia. I am not complaining any over here, just that I like to analyze. And with this analysis, I prefer to shop in Singapore although I am not earning SGD. As i know, I can't buy the stuff I named above with RM316.90 in Malaysia. It's perhaps would be more than this figure.
