Mustafa goods look old and used leh..

uhh... i bought my 4GB flash drive = $105
6 months ago
some more not the cheapest.. it was an iOmega because i had to make sure it was compatible with the office ones which was a 256MB iOmega...
the cheapest was less than $100 -
A friend just told me today that if I had bought goods worth $300 or more in a single receipt, in Australia, I can claim GST at the airportOriginally posted by Rhonda:Oh, speaking of mobiles, I also bought a mobile last week, but not counted, right? That was before the Great Singapore Sale.
Darnit... as a Singaporean, I am not eligible for GST Rebates when I fly off!
Didn't realise there was such a thing....
Now I know when to buy my mobile phone liao.... just 1 month before I fly back to Singapore, so I can claim the GST!

Yeah, there were much cheaper ones there. I chose this one cause of the Titanium casing.Originally posted by the Bear:uhh... i bought my 4GB flash drive = $105

Yeah. You can buy a laptop and claim GST at the Aussie airport, then return to Australia with the same laptop!Originally posted by SydneyLibrarian:A friend just told me today that if I had bought goods worth $300 or more in a single receipt, in Australia, I can claim GST at the airport Didn't realise there was such a thing....

that's good then
anyway, hope you guys all don't get caught up in the "sale" mentality and end up with a lot of things you don't needOriginally posted by Rhonda:Yeah, there were much cheaper ones there. I chose this one cause of the Titanium casing. And it's also high speed as well. And it is! -
I was debating whether to get the Nokia 6300 here or back in Sydney. It costs S$428 here, but between A$380-450 in Australia.Originally posted by Rhonda:My regret is that I didn't purchase the N75 that I had my eyes on. I was kinda wondering if there would be service support for that model over in Melbourne cause I wasn't so sure that they'd have seen that model yet over there.
Ah well, I've got a nice Nokia 6300 now that I'm happy with.
Another phone I was thinking of getting is the 7360, but I heard that Nokia has stopped producing it (I wonder why! thought it's pretty new still)
It's pretty, and sleek! I like the amber colour very much -
my current phone is actually on its last legs..
the battery is not the best anymore...
it must last 1 1/4 years more
gettin' the iPhone
but if it dies on me, i'll go get the motorola razr V8 or V9
it's even slimmer than my current razr -
We're wiser than you think.Originally posted by the Bear:that's good then

The stuff that I bought were seemingly bought with nary a thought but they were mostly stuff I had wanted for more than a year.
I had my eyes on the Nintendo DS Lite before I left but decided to wait and see. And I bought that many game cartridges because you don't have a good variety over there and even if you do, they cost more, so it was a good call.
I needed to change my mobile before I left because it was threatening to stop working but I decided to hope for the best and buy it on my trip home, which I did.
MP3 player, something I wanted to buy too, before I left for Melbourne the first time round but again, decided to put it off.
I wish I have the money to splurge senselessly, but I don't. Therefore I spend carefully with what little I do have.
At least, I didn't go spend like thousands on some silly diamond bangle at Tiffany's and then risk kena'ing mugged back in Melbourne! -
uhhh.. i didn't mention names -
My current phone... they don't even sell it in 2nd hand stores anymoreOriginally posted by the Bear:my current phone is actually on its last legs..

Had it for 5 years already. Am surprised it lasted this long. The battery's dying though. Must charge the phone every other day -
Eh! Duplicate!

I have yet to buy anything but SO did

Got a OSIM Chair and an iSqueez -
erhm seriously gal, dun try the epilators. u got no idea how unhygenic that is. what if the person before you got skin problem and bits of her is still on the epliator?Originally posted by browniebaobao:really?
been to Vivo so many times.. and none of the staff in any store/restaurant provided good service. I stopped going there ever since.
I went to Carrefour juz now.. saw the epilators on sale.. so I asked the promoter, whether I can try the one on display.. she said no, for hygiene purpose.. I agree, but I know that other places can try wor. I'm going elsewhere tmr.. want to get one that wun make me feel too painful.
if you found a place that lets u try a brand new (out of box) epliator, do let me know. i will never buy from them.
as for pain, usually legs not that pain. for me i dun feel pain when doing legs. as for underarms will have a bit of pain initially, but over time got use to it.
i bought a braun epilator. i think they r not bad la -

BTW, I went to Ross today and saw lots of denim material Levis handbag for USD8.99/-
They look really chic, and not that small either. Definitely can hold a wallet, make up pouch, handpone, keys & even a small umbrella.
Am thinking them all to bring back as souvenirs. Should i?
Levis brand leh...and not fake wans. -

I think if you've set aside a budget for souvenirs to distribute, these bags will definitely be very well-received!
I hate buying souvenirs. I find it meaningless cause I am the one who has something to remember because I made the trip, y'know? Oh well, next trip back, not going to bother with souvenirs because it's too much of a headache! -
Me hor....buying for myself, only postcards, fridge magnets. And the occasional mugs. I kinda really cheapskate for myself too.Originally posted by Rhonda:Wah!!

But since those levis bags are soo cheap....really kinda think its worth it to buy for people leh.
