So almost all the shops are closed during Chinese New Year. And about having a hard time finding a tailor during the CNY holidays, it cost me more than twice the normal price. I had my pants altered at the Lucky Plaza in Orchard, and alteration for each pair of pants cost me S$10 when it only cost S$4 in the tailor near my apartment. Oh well, it was quite urgent so I just have to think of it as an expensive meal. But there is another good thing about Chinese New Year, aside from the non-work days. The day after the Chinese New Year, many stores have huge sales going on. At Courts Megastore, I came across lcd samsung tvs that are sold at huge discounts. Too bad I don’t have a budget to buy one and I don’t have a need to buy one either. Not only that, but almost all the household stuff are on sale. What I actually just managed to buy was the air pump for my bicycle but it was not on sale.
