Hehe, I almost forgot about our 24 hours Mustafa shopping centre in Little India…This is a place where you could find almost anything, including some pretty cheesy stuff :P… It’s almost like Walmart meeting clash of the titan :P…And definitely a very interesting place where you could buy bananas and lunggages at the same time, very good place for the tourists ;)

Actually, you have come to the right place for SHOES SHOPPING. You don’t really need to go a specific place to hunt for shoes, because they are literally everywhere.

It’s very “dangerous” for us to go to places like Orchard Road(has the most collection and some of the high end ones), Bugis, Arab Street, City Hall/City link, Suntec City, Marina Square, Milenia Walk, China town, Raffles Place, Tanglin Mall, Holland Village, and even in the East and West side of Singapore, because we will be stuck at admiring the most fashionable and beautiful shoes and often end up buying a few pairs at one go.

Hence it’s hard life for the men here to take their women out for shoes shopping because we can be stuck in the malls for hours :P (better to leave their women to go shop themselves :))

There’s never lack of shopping malls here(hundreds of them) in this small island. It’s very compact here(a bit like Boston) and most places are within the walking distance or you could go by our efficient subway system. Average women here buy shoes so very regularly and often because you really can’t avoid not to buy shoes since they’re everywhere, and new fashion and styles are updated very fequently. I personally used to own about 150 pairs of shoes but lesser now. The better ones we’ll normally give away to the charity, and of course the not-so-nice ones or outdated ones we’ll throw them away.

But shoes shopping/buying it’s a culture here in Singapore, at least for the women here ;)

P.S. In case you are not aware, you have this same question came out twice in your profile :)

This is such a cool map, I can even find my apt in there, and American club on scotts road, WOW! Thanks Joey…

Eh, thought you haven’t been back here for a while, still know so much about Singapore? ;)

P.S./ Singapore’s colonial charm and
Kuala Lampur are equally nice and charming, can’t compared them :)

And did you know that K.L., Malaysia has recently passed a new law, that you can’t kiss in the public? Hey, at least in Singapore you still can kiss and hug in the public openly, just no sex :P

And umm, excuse me Mr. true blue Singaporean, this is another of our preserved colonial charm, Stamford House. Just took this pic on Sat after my class.

Err, thought that men are not as crazy as women when comes to shoes? :P

Usually you go in to a shop and you know what you want, unlike the women in general ;)

We do have some local designers shoes at some places like Wisma Atria or Far East Plaza in Orchard, can’t remember the name but it’s something like beattle bug or juice, sorry I don’t make an effort to remember men’s shoes :P.. But I noticed they do make nice men shoes :)

“Charles and Keith” stores is our very own designer too. They have expanded to stores to China, Malaysia, Jakarta, etc…They do have very cheap but nicely designed women shoes, but not sure about whether they make any men shoes.

Anyway, our very own main departmental stores, the very “Singapore” brands would be like CK Tangs, Metro, and Robinson(has been around for about 100yrs old) are mostly in ORCHARD area..These stores have also expanded to Malaysia and Jakarta.

Another multi-storey mall I forgot to mention is our Plaza Singapura.

Seiyu, Isetan, and Takashimaya are Japanese stores.

Shopping in Orchard Road

Me too, Mulzana, I’m not really a big fan of “suburban/heartland”-type area, but it’s more of a hassle to me since I do live in the central area :)

Attached is a recent pic I have taken 2 days ago, a view of our CK TANGS SINGAPORE in Orchard Road.

P.S. So I see that you(clyde) have just came back from the Singapore trip, so how was it like for you?? Did you get to the Little India and try our very own curry fishhead?

And the “New Urban Wear”(I think) is also our local designer, but I don’t think things are cheap in “Hareen”, Orchard ..(Hareen are known to be for rich kids shoppers) :P
