trendy clothes, loads of army accessories, loads of converse old school canvas at a great price, and no proper posters of Eros.
When Ben Yeo and Michelle Chia introduced men who wants hip and trendy tees and shoes at a great price in Man Enough on Ch U, they should try the army market at Golden Mile Hawker Centre. Yeah, you know the former old and dirty market, where they undergo a major renovation to bring us a fresh image of the all under one roof building? Makan, groceries, army badge, backpacks, Teva sandals, and now, trendy tees and Converse sneakers. I was there yesterday to try my luck.
And i walk out there empty handed on physical, but fully loaded in mental.
Surprisingly, there are several shops selling tees that teens wear nowadays. You know, those tees that you see at Heerens and Far East? There are plenty of there available too, and at a great price. Surprisingly, some of the shops are selling Abercrombie and Fitch tees at $13. Yeah, $13, but the designs are slightly old lah. Compared to those shops such as Reject Shop and Factory Outlet Store in M'sia, where you buy those rejected branded stuff at cheap price but with their labels cut out, over here, you can get better quality without having the price tag removed, at a great price.
(oh yeah, the TV is playing the main theme of American Beauty rite now, though Mediacorp are using that for the Superstar contest.)
And you can get some nice looking tees at $13 as well. I set my eyes on the tees of The Beatles, where Beatles were drawn into cute characters. Imagine John, Ringo, George and Paul drawn outside Their Yellow Submarine look. There, i found a shop selling trendy design tees at $8 and 2 for $15. Wah, a steal.
And now, most of the Converse sneakers are selling at $29, some at $35 onwards. From what i know from Cindy, Converse is bringing in new designs, so they are clearing stocks now at a steal. Ooohhh...must go and get one asap now.
Right in front of Army's market is Golden Mile Towers, where Golden Theatre is located. Yeah, the cineplex that screens highly recommended X dramas aka in layman's term: sex drama with class. The poster of Sin City has been transferred from Princess to Golden, as it has been rated R21 fro strong violence. This is such a real disappointment. Anyway, the directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino new CGI thriller has been named as this year's Pulp Fiction. And now you put the pair to make a thriller, they can give you a real bloody thriller, which is only limited to adults only.
As for the poster of Eros, it has been displayed behind the box office counter, together with 2 B-Korean porn flick: Green Chair and Old Guy. Oh for Old Guy, do not confused with the psychotic thriller Old Boy, which happens to be Tarantino's favourite. Old Guy is Korean director Kim Ki Duk's 2002 production. Branded by some idiotic critic that Kim is Korean's David Lynch (which i beg to differ), Old Guy is about a man who forced a woman into prostitution. As simple as that. I am not going to talk about Green Chair cos Eros is much much more better than Green Chair.
There, there are no proper poster for Eros at lobby area, cos they replaced the poster with 2 same pics photocopied from the machine, featuring Gong Li and Chang Chen in a A5 paper, with R21 rating taking about 1/5 of the space.
Want the posters? Please proceed to Level 3 and 5.
