Answer:
1. I went to Singapore last December 2007, I stayed there for roughly 15 days. 2. I went to Bugis, Orchard and Chinatown and grocery shops in Geylang, Shen Siong. Bugis is the best place for clothes, Orchard for fine shopping with malls left and right, and Chinatown for good Chinese buy and all other novelties. You want to take home for friends. 3. I bought dress for my sister, fun watches for my 2 nieces at Bugis. ORchard for my mom's bag, and Chinatown for chinese bracelets for my friends. Of course there are so many souvenir items I bought from Bugis, keychain, can openers, clocks , I love buying small things for my loved ones. 4. I think Bugis. Its a small strip of place, where you can shop almost everything from bags, clothes, souvenir items. Though the items there are not "signature" clothes or items, buying for 4 for $10 or 3 for $10 will, and bags from $20-40 will surely be a great bargain. For authentic and classy shopping nothing beats Orchard Malls. 5. Yes, in fact, I will come this March or April, to visit my girlfriend and to shop again. And because I shopped almost everything I saw, I had excess baggage at the Airport! BTW, unlike in HongKong, the shop owners in Singapore (and their salesladies/men) were more accomodating to buyers or merely window shoppers. No offense meant, Singaporeans speaks a lot better ENglish than HK residents. The store employees are willing to get things for you and many times allow haggling their prices. Uniquely Singapore!

Chinatown was awesome....didn't like Indiatown. Singapore is so beautiful and clean. I ended up buying some tea and pashmina scarves. There was a lot more I wanted to buy but I just didn't have enough time.
