Topic: Offical cool stuff RABicle bought in Singapore thread.

[RABicle]

Well I decided to concentrate on stuff that you couldn't get in Australia. So a Freeloader, Ikaruga (japanese) One of the SNES shaped controllers, Harvest Moon (GBA), Zelda Special Collectors Edition (you know, the compilation) and Prince of Persia (cant wait till release) were all first up. I was thinking about a broadband adaptor but Money was running short after the Blue/Silver GBA SP (complete with complimentery pirated copy of Castlevania)
Tips for travellers to Singapore.
- Changi Airport is a ripoff.
- Dont go looking for young asian girls till after school is over, unless you speak Japanese or Korean. Asian girls are all slim and look young, they could be 28 years old
- Sim Lim Square, I believe that is Malay for 'Geek Heaven'
- Dont smuggle drugs into the country, penalty is death by hanging.
- Dont smuggle chewing gum into the country, penatly is $10,000 fine.
- Eat some good curry while your there.
- Visit a Chinese Temple.
- If your a Jehova, dont tell anybody about it.

WOW oooo

And nothing is wrong with asian chicks
Thats what I love about them
Not the 38year old ones, but the young, slim and ABSOLUTELY BEAUTY of them

EDIT: Oh, and nice stash of stuff too

I thought Harvest Moon on GBA was out in Australia?

Man.. you have the Zelda Collectors Edition? Now i'm jealous.

Did the market people speak English, or did you have to make weird sign language symbols?

I've made it a goal to go to Asia after I take Japanese language classes next semester, so thanks for the tips if I end up going there...

Nice haul you got yourself there, Rab. *Thumbs up*
No chewing gum there? "Hmmm, Hubble Bubble.. Ooh, Big Pink."

Nice buy ...How is Ikaruga ?

But the biggest rip off is Virgin ...I went to Sydney and had to pay for water.

There are four national languages, English, Malay/Indonesion, Tamil, Chinese (Manderine). Every shop person knows english, usually as you wlak down the street ou might here people's conversations change language seemingly at random. About the asian girls thingg and speaking Korean. During school hours all young Asian girls (some appear young but are not) present are most likely tourists from Korea or Japan. The Singapore girls come out after school and speak English.

Ikaruga is really good. Even my sister likes it, we were playing 2 player today and it's great. Pretty hard but strangly compelling.

As for Singlish, I hadn't heard of it but I did see a government ad in the subway station saying that "You didn't need to use long words to speak English well" or something. Government advertising (or propaganda if you like) is everywhere. I mean ads for the army are painted on the sides of buses. They have Conscription to, they reckon Japan will go on another rampage.

SIM LIM SQUARE OH GOD YES.

The best things I bought when I went to Singapore in 1999 were:

- My Limited Edition Astro Boy Game Boy Light
- My Japanese Pokémon Gold/Silver GBC with the three starters on the border
- A boxed copy of the 'Squish' Game & Watch
- A boxed copy of the 'Balloon Fight' Game & Watch
- A copy of 'Monster Go! Go! Go!', the pirated Pokémon platform GBC game

Hopefully you'll let me borrow your zelda pre order disc while you are playing your collector disc, also thanks for the heads-up about the boards. The best (nintendo) things I ever got from a foriegn country were stickers and a kirby bouncyball... And then I gave it to my sister *hits himself*

I've been thinking of creating a topic called "Official cool stuff I stole from RABicle's house" but I'm too lazy to click thenew topic butto im even too lazy to spell pit properly.... Basically you just post the officially coolest thing you have stolen from RABicle's house. Eg. I stole from RABicle's house an official Nintendo Orange Juicer. Or I stole from RABicle's house his official bali-made counterfeight poke'mon cards. Have fun make it as funny or as wierd as you like.
