Wahaha !!! Happy !!! Thanx to I-suddenly-can't-remember-which-colleague who told me about the sale . Many many thanx ya . :D
The Crocs Expo Sale was on from 14th to 16th November at Singapore Expo , Hall 4A , from 10am to 8pm . Didn't think I'd bother to go 'coz I'm not usually a fan of sales or crowds . But dunno wad juz made me decide to drop by after work on Saturday (15/11/08) to haf a look . Boy was it a good decision ! Had ball of a time there ! Even though the crowd and queueing was overwhelming , it was well worth it sia . Hehehe !!! Have since changed my perspective on sales . Hah ! Sales beware !!! Ranz is coming from now !!! Mwahaha !!! *Laughs evil-ly*
Anyhooos , got some rather good buys . All things were going at rock bottom prices I tell ya . Really almost 80% off ! I shud know better 'coz I am a frequent shopper at Crocs . So wat the sale only had older models and lousy colors . Good enuf for me . Hehehe !!! ;D Let the following few pics do the talking .
15/11/08 (evening) : Okay , pardon my poor photo taking skills la . I know it looks like there's not TAT many people , but I tell ya , there WAS okay !!! Haha .
15/11/08 (evening) : Okay , if U tot the haggling for the goods was bad , the queueing for the PAYMENT was worse !!! :D I could have taken a good sleep and woken up and it'll still NOT be my turn at the cashier's . Tat bad okay . Was like totally bored and hungry and freezing and tired , juz to pay for my loot on my Day 1 . Stuck in the Q for like nearly 2 hours .
My loot on my Day 1 (15/11/08) . Pathetic 4 pairs . 1 Cleo and 3 Womens' Ithaca . :D People had their purchases in cartons and bags but pathetic me only had 4 pairs . Hmmmph ! No fair ! And thankfully someone decided to abandon the Ithacas in the middle of some aisle , ah bo I wud haf only had the Cleo . Saw the 3 pairs of Ithacas lying there , unwanted , so I picked them up and bingo , ALL my size ! Heh ! God-send or something . Hehehe !!! It was funny I tell ya . I was beaming away , not believing my luck . :)
Er-hemmm ... If U tot I wud be satisfied already , no lor . Was tossing and turning the whole nite , dreaming of more Crocs . Then woke up early this AM (16/11/08) and tot "Wat the heck ! I AM GOING AGAIN !!!" Hehehe !!! ;D So showered and left in a hurry , only to reach the sale near the opening time . If U tot I was kiasu , I tell ya , I'm considered slow already lor . There were like thousands of people ahead of me in the queue to get in already lor ! Ha ! We were at the neighbouring hall , waiting to get in . I was quite demoralised when I saw how far behind I was , but I tot , cannot give up ! Heh ! And my perserverance paid off . Take a deep breath ...

My loot on my Day 2 (16/11/08) ! :D Dun faint dun faint ! Hehehe !!!
A close-up shot on my footwear on my Day 2 (16/11/08) . Boy did I NOT regret I came again 'coz the prices were slashed further okay . The Cleos were $20 on 15/11/08 but only $15 on 16/11/08 . Nevermind the ugly pink la . Haha . So in the end , I got 10 pieces of children's wear for my niece , 3 pieces of adults' wear for goodness anyone who can fit , 2 pairs of Cleo , 2 pairs of Prima (bleddy hell 1 pair was a wrong Size 10 .
