I cannot recall when my quest for cheap deals/ bargains started. It could probably start way back in Sept last year when i was in Vietnam. Overseas and knowing that I'm quite a "wealthy" person with many notes in my wallet that contain many "0"s, such as 10 000, 100 000 and so on and so forth.However, i think we didn't have much time to shop except for that little amount of time we have each night in Ho Chih Minh to go to the nearby "night market" that opens after Ben Thanh Market closes for the day. While we do have a so called curfew, some of us didn't abide by it and got "confined" for a short period of time the next night to have a short talk with the teachers in charge individually.There's always alcohol being consumed almost every night in Vietnam. First to go was the alcohols that the guys bought at DFS when we departed from Singapore. They were consumed within two/three days in Hanoi. Followed by the cheap beer in HCM. This is what happened on our last night in Vietnam. We went to the pho shop opposite our hotel and bought all the Heineken that they had in stock, and some tiger beer.
When i got back and things resumed as usual. Back to school and stuff and with the wink of an eye, I've graduated. The Vietnam peeps organised another "IBSM-Bangkok" trip this time round. It was there where i've found really cheap deals but somehow at the back of my mind i still thought some of the stuff are expensive! This is the damange when i'm in bangkok... 
This has somehow led me to feel that shopping in Singapore is so expensive as i can get what they are retailing here, overseas at a much better rate. I've got to also realise, I need to wake up from my dream because I'm LIVING in SINGAPORE. Nono, i still love my country.
