Online shopping is the new black in smart shopping. Not only is online shopping fast and convenient, but shoppers can find awesome deals online that are harder to find in stores.
Online shopping is about getting a bargain on all the branded items that most of us would not be able to afford otherwise. If you are new to this exciting form of shopping it is important that you look for a quality website dedicated to finding current sales and collecting coupons and promo codes in Singapore to give you the best savings for your shopping.

KiasuPromos Singapore
Kiasu Promos is one of the best bargain hunter online websites in Singapore. For a start, the website has a catchy iconic Singapore name "Kiasu" that sticks. The name is hard to forget and it’s probably the one you will automatically type in when you are accessing an online shopping website.

Range of discount coupons and promo codes
The KiasuPromos range of discount coupons and promo codes in Singapore is impressive. It covers fashion, health & beauty, electronics, travel and even dining & entertainment.
KiasuPromos features top online stores including ASOS, Lazada, Reebonz, Zalora, YOOX, and others. Through these stores, shoppers can access discounts on all of the world’s best brands. The website partners with global brands like Microsoft, Crocs, HP, and Nike to bring deals and promotions directly to shoppers. In keeping with its local origins, KiasuPromos also features iconic Singapore brands like Charles & Keith and KKDay.
An interesting feature that differentiates KiasuPromos from other online shopping websites in Singapore is its impressive range of travel and leisure services represented. Through KiasuPromos, shoppers can find discounts from Hotels.com, Expedia, QatarAirways and even AirAsiaGo.

Site organisation
Keeping up with all the deals and promotions offered in KiasuPromos may seem overwhelming at first because they represent such a large range of products and services.
Fortunately, the folks at KiasuPromos have made it quick and easy for shoppers to find discount coupons and promo codes. The site is well-presented and arranged according to easy-to-navigate categories. Shoppers can click on any one of these categories to find a store, a brand, or the type of discount and promo code available. They can also go to the ‘search’ function and type in the name of the store or product brand then browse through the selection of coupon codes in Singapore to find what they are after. To claim a discount, all a shopper has to do is copy the promo codes in Singapore and apply it when buying online.

KiasuPromos regularly run flash sales that can offer discounts up to 30%. To find their special offers, simply click on ‘Top 25 Codes’.

One of the perks of being an influencer/blogger is that I get to know the latest happenings and products during events and product launches.  

This time round, I took part in Wisma Atria's first-ever WAmazing Race, where myself together with my assigned team member pit against other teams to search for five checkpoints and complete the tasks in the shortest possible time to win Wisma Atria shopping vouchers!

Me and my team partner Tony had to report to Joe & the Juice located at Wisma Atria #B1-56 to 59 at 9.30am for registration and briefing on 3 Sept 2016.  While we waited for all the bloggers to report for the race, breakfast was served and we had a chance to try delicious sandwiches, juices and coffee from Joe & the Juice.

My healthy breakfast
Each team was issued a card with five shops which we need to locate and complete the task in each shop within the shortest possible time.


Bumped into a lot of blogger friends who took part in the same race.


Shuk Ling, Vice President of Marketing from YTL Starhill Global Property Management Pte Ltd welcomed all the bloggers that morning and gave us a quick update on the latest happenings in Wisma Atria.
Shuk Ling giving a welcome speech. I like her cos she is so friendly with no airs.
After Marcus from Word of Mouth Communications told us how we should play the WAmazing Race, we were brought up to the starting point at the Concierge on Level 2 to start the race.




For me and Tony, we had to visit Xpressflower.com located at #01-18A to wrap flowers in a bouquet, followed by Mido Optics #01-34/35/36 to find a pair of spectacles in the store, before visiting Qoosh Nail Spa on #03-03/04 to paint one of our fingernails.


Even Tony has to get his nail painted with a nailart.
 After that, we had to run to Fitflop located at #01-31/32 to locate a pair of shoes which we did successfully, before we went back to Joe & the Juice located at #B1-56 to 59 where we had to down one cup of smoothie.

We could share the cup of smoothie between two persons but I thought it might be a waste of time to pass the smoothie to my team member hence I decided to drink it up on my own as fast as I could... hahaha!



Check out the video below to see me in action... hahaha!


Once we completed all the stops, we had to go back to the starting point.  When we reached there, two teams had already completed their tasks.




We were placed in third position winning Wisma Atria vouchers worth S$200... yeah!



 All of us had loads of fun that day with the WAmazing Race, returning home with wonderful memories and a once in a lifetime experience running inside Wisma Atria. :)

To know about the latest happenings in Wisma Atria, continue to read my blog post before for more updates.

Wisma Atria

Wisma Atria, one of the well-established shopping malls in Orchard Road, has lined up an exciting wave of culinary concepts and lifestyle retail offerings as part of the mall’s continuous efforts to enhance its shoppers' experience.

"With the renewed retail offerings, which include several first-in-Singapore concepts, we aim to create refreshed dining and shopping experiences for our loyal and new patrons, while strengthening Wisma Atria as one of the best lifestyle malls in the heart of town,” said a Wisma Atria spokesperson.


Wisma Atria whets your appetite with six new dining options

Opening in the last quarter of 2016, one of the most exciting developments in the F&B scene, is Picnic, a 10,000 sq-ft next-generation communal dining restaurant, located at Level 3. Designed to recreate the energy and vitality of outdoor dining in a dynamic ever-changing urban park within the mall, diners are promised a fully immersive dining experience. Picnic provides a range of international cuisines, including American, French, Italian and Japanese. In addition, it will also feature an in-house third-wave coffee bar and cocktail bar. Picnic is the latest brainchild of owner, Cheng Hsin Yao, creator of the critically- acclaimed Omakase Burger brand, which is located on Level 1 of the mall.

Joe & the Juice makes its debut in Orchard Road at Wisma Atria this month. Serving an array of organic coffee, freshly made fruit and vegetable juices and rye bread sandwiches, this contemporary Danish cafe offers a funky and healthy-packed experience to shoppers grabbing a breakfast bite or a lunch-to-go.

Fans of the popular bubble tea brand, Gong Cha, may now set their sights on its newest outlet at Wisma Atria, opening in September at Basement 1. It will join the ranks of other food cluster favourites, such as Llao Llao, Ben's Cookies, Garrett popcorn and Famous Amos.

There are more reasons for dessert lovers to celebrate this December, as Fruce, a coconut-based dessert-in-a drink shop, and Eyescream and Friends, a new-to-market Spanish ice cream brand, open at Basement 1. Fruce, which is created from the combination of the words ‘Fruits’ and ‘Fusion’, amalgamates tropical fruits with coconut as the key ingredient, favourite local desserts and homemade toppings, to create their signature series of beverages.

As the name suggests, Eyescream and Friends will offer a visually appealing ice-cream eating experience. The ice-cream, which comes in a variety of flavours, including vanilla, chocolate, cheesecake, yoghurt, mango and strawberry, is created in cylindrical solid blocks that are frozen at -25 degree Celsius. The blocks are trimmed using a specific Asian style of shaving the ice-cream, in order to obtain layers of “shaved gelato”. As a final touch, two googly sugar candy eyes are placed on top of the “eyescream”.


Keep an eye on for Samurice, which offers delicious Onigiri and Bentos using specially selected rice, seaweed and salt produced and imported from Japan at the basement food cluster in January 2017. Samurice will join the family of Japanese cuisine, Kotobuki Japanese Izakaya and Japan Food Town that are currently found in Wisma Atria.


Wisma Atria offers more lifestyle options with four new tenants

UK shoe brand, FitFlop, has opened their new store at Level 1 to offer exciting ergonomic sandals, shoes and boots using world-class design, a splash of fashion and a continuous innovating mix of beauty, brains and top-notch biomechanics. Now shoppers have one more worthwhile destination to satisfy their penchant for footwear!

Ladies searching for trendy gym apparel can pop by Vivre Activewear when it opens its third store in September at Basement 1. Vivre’s creations are specially designed for the Asian body frame and uses moisture-wicking fabrics to keep you fresh while working out. Its chic and high performance designs have also won awards.

For a touch of beauty indulgence, ladies can spend some me-time or BFF-time at Qoosh Nail Spa, a new manicure and pedicure service, which has opened for business at Level 3.

A beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers can brighten up anyone’s day or a special occasion, such as a birthday or an anniversary. For the first time, Wisma Atria is delighted to welcome a home-grown floral shop, Xpressflower.com, into the mall at Level 1.

In addition to these new stores, Wisma Atria is also a mecca for international brands, comprising luxury timepiece brands, such as Rolex, Franck Muller, Breguet, Blancpain, Glashuette and TAG Heuer, as well as well-loved fashion brands, such as Coach, Tory Burch, Lacoste, and many more.


Tourist Privileges

Visitors from overseas can present their passports at the Concierge Counter on Level 1 and receive a $10 F&B voucher when they spend a minimum of $50 nett in a single receipt. In addition, they are also entitled to redeem a 3-day Tourist Privilege Card that entitles them to discounts and special offers at participating stores in Wisma Atria.

We all know that online shopping is a secret to achieving huge savings and that is one of the reasons why I love to shop on Taobao.  Shopping from Taobao is cheaper because shopping directly from the country of origins helps to bypass any importers, exporters, distributors or retailers who will mark up the cost of the products if we buy from them.

Besides that, I can buy a variety of items from personal items like apparels, shoes and accessories for myself and the kids, all the way to furniture as well on Taobao.

Clothes, Shoes, Accessories for my family

In fact, I bought most of my lighting items for my new house from Taobao about 2 year ago.  The pricing of lighting items was definitely much cheaper than if I were to purchase them locally.  I managed to get them into Singapore through ezbuy, which helped to ship the items.

Why did I choose ezbuy?

At ezbuy, they will inspect the orders first to ensure that the products are correct before they are shipped to Singapore.  This is to ensure customers get the products that they want.

There is no shipping base charge and has the lowest shipping rate.  Great for people who just want to ship in small amounts of items.

ezbuy offers local customer services so that you won't need to spend extra money calling overseas just to find out where the parcel is etc.  There are also 200+ free collection points so it is so easy to collect the items you ordered once it reaches Singapore.

Recently I got to know of an awesome service known as ezbuy Prime.  Now we can ship millions of items at only S$2.99 flat international shipping fee per checkout!  Yes, I am not joking!  you heard it right.  It is only S$2.99, regardless of the service, weight and quantity!

Picture from https://ezbuy.sg/prime_why_prime

So how does ezbuy Prime work?

Step 1: All you need to do is to subscribe to your Prime membership now! For a limited time only, ezbuy is offering a 30-days trial for our Prime membership at only S$9.90!  New users will need to register an ezbuy account first.


  • Shop within the amazing Prime selection specially curated for you by ezbuy team.
  • Cart out, make payment for your products and S$2.99 shipping fee.
Smile when you receive your shopping purchases knowing how much you have saved.
Share it with all your friends and family to help them save more too!

Benefits of ezbuy Prime

  • Save tons on shipping fee and this service is best for purchasing heavy stuff such as furniture.  Can you imagine?  Only S$2.99 for all your Prime orders, regardless the size, weight or quantity
  • Instant upgrade to SVIP membership to enjoy 50% savings off agent fee on Prime orders
  • Access to special deals such as promotion from USA merchandise and enjoy up to 80% off items
  • Includes all Buy-For-Me services such as Purchasing, Inspection and After-sales support
  • Free insurance coverage up to S$2000
If you want to enjoy the benefits stated above when you shop with Taobao, register for a free ezbuy account at bit.ly/mselaine65B to get a FREE $10 shopper voucher.
