Lucky Plaza is one shopping centre that has scores of Filipino shops and restaurants as well as gadgets and gizmos. We go to Lucky Plaza each time we get a craving for Filipino dishes. This is also where we purchase Filipino goodies and phone cards to call home.

There are lots of gadget hubs in Singapore but we usually go to Lucky Plaza first for electronics. We get to haggle and negotiate for better deals.

Singapore is a techy's paradise! Lucky Plaza is where I bought my Canon digital Ixus i-zoom camera, my Nokia spare phone, my Ipod, my friend's Ipod, and lots more. This is where I intend to pick up an Ipod Nano for my sister.

Retailers give customers the freedom to haggle for better prices. You just have to know the art of negotiating. :)

Orchard Road and its tempting shopping centres are too short to explore in a day. When I visited, Singapore was prepared to have its shopping festival. This fancy city was busy to beutify itself. Orchard Road was the main point for this, You have many different choices of shops and all were temptings to be missed.

A friendly tips is to know what you want and start focus on few malls instead.
Do a research in internet and get some tips where to get those stuffs.
And do not force your legs squeezed in to the fancy high heels, girls.
Be sensible using sneakers or shoes that comfy to walk for long hours.

Orchard road is a paradise for shopping hikers.

Everything can be bought, but the best thing is the Kikokuniya (?) book shop, large and very extensive.

the fountains at Ngee Ann CIty

Orchard Road is very popular on weekends. Lots of people cruise the avenues, while others are rushing by with their shopping bags in tow. On weekends, this is the place to be.

You will realize that Singaporean stores like to group their shops. For instance, there is the children's mall (the forum and tanglin mall), the hip teenager mall(far east plaza)

Ngee Ann City and Paragon -are all about brand name items. Fendi, Gucci, Shanghai Tang, Tiffany, Cartier and etc.

On sundays the Philippino maids have off and you will see them enjoying themselves-having picnics and such.

Most of the department stores-have very good cafes and restaurants in their basement levels.

From Anna Sui to Bulgari to Mango to YSL to Zara, most international brands can be found in individual boutiques or department stores along Orchard Road

Competitive, fixed prices. Naturally, it may be cheaper to get these internation brands in the home states.

Lucky Plaza

I wasn't sure whether to put Lucky Plaza into the 'Shopping' or 'Tourist Trap' category.
Because of its central location on Orchard Road it attracts a lot of foreign visitors.
The shopkeepers will hustle everyone walking past to come into their shop - especially if you do not look like a local.
It is not the most reputable place in Singapore to buy goods but there are some bargains to be had. I got the cheapest quote for a digital camera memory card from here.

This is also the place to come to for your Filipino maid! There are several agencies for maid services. On Sundays the maids come here on their day off to shop and frequent the Filipino bars.

Mainly camera and video equipment.

Cheaper than anywhere else but shop around, do your research and haggle, haggle, haggle!

Maybe Singapore's most popular place. Orchard Road is to Singapore as Mile Long Street in Chicago or Fifth Ave in New York. Very trendy and High-rise malls' facades are sights to see.

Wisma Atria

Besides being one of the most prominent malls along Orchard Road, Wisma Atria is also home to two mammoth aquariums, one in the Basement and the other at Level 1 inside IndoChine. The 20-metre by 1.8 metre curved aquarium inside IndoChine has 20 resident black-tipped sharks.

That explains the water theme of its exterior ; )

Directions: exit immediately at Orchard MRT station

	Orchard Road: Bookwormhaven

This place sets itself apart from the rest of the bustle of Orchard Road. As you stroll into the Cone tower of Wheelock Place, you feel the fresh scent of the books rushing to find its place up your nose. This place is ruled by the spirit and the intellectual, enhanced by the authentic yet modern design of the rows and rows and rows more of shelves.

Children and musical enthusiasts have their own enclaves in the bookstore, where children's books and all kinds of music you can sample to your heart's content.

This bookshop encompasses all kinds of stuff so that what you want is what you get. As far as I'm concerned, at least.

$100 over for an incorrigible bookworm like me.
