Expect good discounts in this NIKE Factory Outlet store, though you might just see up to a max of 55%, remember that NIKE items are usually discounted from 10%-30% if you are just so blessed... Being controlled priced... you hardly could find a salivating discount for NIKE products.
I like this NIKE Factory Outlet, though i expect more discounts, but the items there are not exactly out of fashion even though there are still some dodgy looking ones. 2 things out of the many merchandizes I love to buy here..
1. NIKE Sport Shoes.... because they are always on a great discount of 30% and above and they mostly have mine size which is a common 8. You will also find some really outstanding designs that you may not find in departmental stores or other outside stores, designs such as high cut nike shoes (not basketball shoes) just high cut and washed in a sweet pink with some furry parts... I bought a pair of street walking NIKE shoes too... Leather black with purple trimmings and an excellent sole for just $39.90 last week.
2. T-Shirts..... You cannot imagine how pricey Nike T-shirts can be, i mean we all know how cheap t-shirts can get especially these days when you can buy then online, but the material and make of Nike T-shirts are very precise, in terms of the stitching and wear experience is good, higher end materials are used to prevent deformation and durability as well as comfort on the body. They have quirky and motivating designs in which both says SPORTSMAN / SPORTSWOMAN... or the infamous RUNNER... which i find so appealing... They do come with great deals like 2 for $29.90 and you could mostly be able to find your size.
Service is good in NIKE... you have free and easy browsing, nobody to suck up to you or watch you like an owl... You could do whatever you want however, when you needed something.. you could always find somebody to help you. I was browsing some shoes and immediately a lady came to ask me if i needed some other sizes and even volunteered socks for me.
I should say my experience at this outlet is a good one and I've always been patronizing them and will still do... On top of that... Merchandise is exchangeable within 14 days at the factory outlet store with original packing and defective items may be returned within 6 months with receipt.. I mean with such a policy... we could really buy with faith...
I stumbled upon this very interesting cafe after watersports at Kallang River one evening. Everything was right, the location, the look of the building, the ambiance, the smell in the air, the delectable snacks and the people lounging around enjoying their moment of quiet reading.
Loysel's Toy is a one of its kind coffee hideout. Nestled next to picturesque Kallang River in a low white building surrounded by lush greenery of the park, drowning the air with aromatic coffee and baked muffins.
I chose a table just outside the cafe... Yes they do have air-con sitting inside the cafe however on a cool day like this, I rather enjoy some fresh air. Their coffee menu was a good mix of the regulars and some special extensive and interesting mixes... I mean these guys are the COFFEE CRAFTERS... and coffee is a serious business to them. Though I'm enticed by the thought of trying something dangerous, I've decided to go for my regular latte, which is a good balance of acidity and sweetness... I've of chosen a peanut butter muffin and I must say.. its perfectly nutty on the inside and the melted peanut butter cream on the top just gives it the oomph....
If you would like some nice aromatic beans or interested in having a professional coffee maker in your house... You could also find some there or enquire on their webpage... Oh yar.... They also do rental of bicycles for cycling around the Kallang riverside park.. and the bicycles look so not like the East Coast Park kind.. its more of a city bike and so leisurely luxurious :)
It is a great experience and prices are about Coffee Bean / Starbucks kind of price range. The setting is lovely and i think its a great place to hang out with friends or have some personal time. I appreciate joints like Loysel's Toy as there is really not many of such dwellings around in the urban city like ours. I look forward to much more time hanging here :) Oh Yar! By the way.. Really nice Logo... Like a stamp from some old toys... very nostalgic
It was a rainy friday afternoon and I was nearby Clark Quay after a meeting when I passed by Freshness Burger Fast Food Joint. So I've decided to pop in and try this new fast food restaurant.
As i entered the restaurant, a whiff of grilled beef patties hit me and my stomach started to growled uncontrollably. I cannot say its a big joint as i think at one time, the entire place could most likely be able to hold 30~40 consumers. Finding a nice seat is not difficult though made troublesome by space occupying students trying to study in such a noisy environment. Though seating the large glass panels is appealing, i've decided to choose a more comfy seat by the side sofa.
There is many choices of burgers to choose from, as many as 10 varieties of hamburgers, as well as vegetarian burgers... but i ended up choosing a classic beef patty burger. I also ordered some sides such as the french fries and mashed potato as well as a nice pineapple soda...
They do have an island of condiments and sauces in which the variety intrigues me. Theres the standard, mustard, chilli, ketchup as well as the peppers, tobascos and other spice kickers... for you to freely drizzle on your food.
The burger tasted nice, as the tangy sauce fused extremely well with the juicy beef patty and crunchy lettuce. Its a simple burger but I should say the quality is pretty good. I especially have to mention the mashed potato with beef sauce... Its really really yummy.... I'm actually surprised how they could get the sauce to coat every layer of the mashed potato.. Usually the sauce will be drizzled from the top but its not so for this.. As i scoop downwards, there is sauce at every layer.. how amazing.... The pineapple soda was also refreshing and of the right sweetness...
Price wise.. I should say it is slightly higher than are normal fast food pricing, however the quality is good. Oh yar.. my set meal also included a free skewer with 2 balls of Japanese donuts which is quite a delight for me.
Service is pretty zero. No cheerful HIsss or Good Byes.... and usually they are all gathering in the kitchen. I had to stand at the counter for sometime before somebody notices... Perhaps they are all trying to perfect the food... But its great food no doubt...
I would also love to try their waffles breakfast and the other type of burgers.... Will be BACK for more :)
Sports Lovers will know what is trending at NIKE Sports outlet. Always carrying the latest fashionable sport wear and functional sports accessories made from high technology processed materials and state of the art stitching techniques. While I shop at Bugis, I must at least pop by the second level of the shopping mall. Here you can find many sports and casual wear shops as well as watersports shop and skin/body care outlets.
This Nike Store is not really big but the staffs are helpful. Like all Nike stores, it is not cluttered up and there is ample space to browse and not elbow other shoppers. They carry a good range of the newest NIKE products, one section for the shoes and another for tops and bottoms. Though you can never find a really good discount as NIKE items are usually controlled priced, you might get to surprise yourself. I ever bought a really nice washable sports cap, very functional and easy to care for 40% off from the caps shelf....
So, if you are passing by the NIKE Shop in Bugis, just jump in and browse... You never know what surprises you can find... Though they do not have HUGE RELOCATION SALEs signs ON 'ALL THE TIME'.... or even big sale slogans like 50% or 70% off..... - This is totally not NIKE's Style to slash prices... but you will be surprised at some good silent offers....
I was shocked and disappointed. I left the shop feeling cheated...
I participated in the Bausch Lomb HD (Free Trial) for their Dailies HD Lenses via an Ad to their webpage: http://www.bauschandlombdaily.com.sg/ During registration, I was asked to choose a location, in which this Capitol outlet at Anchorpoint is the nearest for the collection of 5 pairs of free HD Dailies Contact Lenses. After registration, I received an sms on my mobile on the location i've chosen and to call to make an appointment before I go.
I called the outlet and appointments can only be made for weekdays as according to the lady, weekends are busy so no appointments on weekends. But i've been to Anchorpoint on weekends... Though there is shoppers, but its hardly crowded and Capitol is almost always not busy. So, i've got no choice but to make an appointment on a working day near to my lunch hour.
I reached the shop slightly later then my appointment time and was told that I've got to do an eye test and health test???? Further conversation lead to if I have a pair of spectacles and I was told how we should wear spectacles more and avoid contact lenses. All the while, the so called optician was not around and I was told she went out awhile. I mean whats the use of having an appointment when the in-house optician is supposedly late. 20 minutes after my appointment time, the optician appeared with a SLOW STROLL and nonchalant look (like she just went window shopping) and I was asked to go into a room behind for eye checking. I asked if i needed to remove my contact lenses and they said no need for that as they can check on top of my lenses. I find that particularly weird as my experience with other optical shop requires me to remove my lenses and allow my eye to rest for at least 10 mins. So, I did an eye test with my contact lenses on and an eye examination with my contact lenses on.
After the examination I was then showed outside and a poster on different eye diseases. I was told I had a mild symptom of some blood vessels around the eye and was told that I should stay off my contact lenses for 2 months. Wear spectacles and then i was then asked if I have spectacles if not i HAVE TO MAKE ONE. After a moment of silent she then carry on to say.. SORRY WE CANNOT GIVE YOU THE CONTACT LENSES. I was embarrassed not because I was not given the lenses but the whole experience is traumatizing.
Here I am taking my lunch time to rush down to the location on a working day and after much waiting, did an inaccurate eye examination WITH MY CONTACT LENSES ON and was told a scary news of a mild case of blood vessels around my eye which I could only further derive from the other pictures and the optician didn't say anything of what might caused it and she only said this ONE THING... THIS IS CAUSED BY YOUR CONTACT LENS WEARING in which I deemed inaccurate because 16 years of contact lens wearing and my eyes have no problems, no feeling of strains or other slight symptoms of discomfort. There was no further elaboration or any kind of report given on my eyesight test whether if my power increased or decreased and all was said was your eyes are not healthy and you need to rest it with spectacles for 2 months, DO YOU HAVE ONE If not YOU HAVE TO MAKE ONE. Well its an eye examination and consultation, then give me advises on what caused it, how to prevent, or if there are any other things that could help. NONE... and she carried on to embarrass me by telling me that we cannot give you the lenses with that (You're so cheap you want free gift and i'm not giving it to you) attitude, on top of my rejection, I felt a slight feeling of being coerced into making a pair of spectacles with them, in which is way TOO EXPENSIVE as compared to the many other optical shops in Queensway Shopping Mall and the shops opposite queensway shopping mall. I've ever made spectacles in queensway shopping mall and the service attitude is great, there are many shops and designs to choose from, price is very economical, quality is good, fast (you can pick up the same day sometimes) and you feel like its money well spent...
So I left the shop, both embarrassed and puzzled... Feeling like i'm a cheap, kaisu Singaporean who needs the free pairs of daily lenses. Its the kind of feeling when you got scammed and the aftermaths of regretting that you made it for the appointment in which I would have conveniently forgot and quit making way to Anchorpoint which is neither near a MRT Station or in Town.
To sum up, the service was bad, attitude is somewhat STUCKUP, hoping to get more spectacle sales then contact lenses... oh yar of course.. you get more profit from spectacle sales... If you do not honor your word, then why should i trust you in making me a pair of trusty spectacle.
Even if you advise not to wear more spectacles, you could still ask me to come back for a re-examination or even to honor your word and advise me not to wear them till my eyes are rested... NONE OF THESE... JUST IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE A PAIR OF SPECTACLES please SCOOT OUT OF MY SHOP kinda attitude...
Well, this also affected my impression of Bausch Lomb products, I mean it is your responsibility to work with your dealers to honor the promotions or marketing that you do. I mean if they do not honor them then how do you expect the users to trust your products? If your free gift is subjected to eye health tests and only be given to healthy eye users, then put that in your conditions or make it known to the participants... I'm disappointed...
