Sorry for the delay

2009-05-10T18:38:00.000+08:00

It seems like so long I updated this blog, and now I'm finally back at it again. Schoolwork is really killing me and even though I managed to squeeze in some time to "visit" Singapore's President at his house (just right beside Plaza Singapura), I had to actually make this even more memorable by forgetting to bring my camera to take shots. Argh! Next year, I shall do better in every aspect regardless of updating this blog or bringing my camera along for the ride!!

So, see ya folks!!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Promo

2009-05-08T18:47:00.000+08:00

To celebrate The Very Hungry Caterpillar's 40th anniversary, simply spend SGD20 on Eric Carle's books and get to redeem an exclusive Hungry Caterpillar Tote Bag free!! The tote bag measures 9.75" (W) by 11.5: (H) and cute little shoulder straps just perfect for your child or toddler to carry along on trips to the nearest Page One store to buy more Eric Carle's books. What's more, the base is expendable, meaning it's not just your ordinary tote bag where you can only put in documents and paperworks but real bulky items like The Very Hunger Caterpillar boxset books that your child can carry around.

Set in 1985, the film follows a group of former vigilantes as tensions heighten between the United States and the Soviet Union as an investigation of an apparent conspiracy against them uncovers something even more grandiose and sinister. The film began shooting in Vancouver in September 2007 for release on March 6, 2009.[5] As with his previous film 300, Snyder closely modeled his storyboards on the comic, but he chose not to shoot all of Watchmen using chroma key and opted for more sets.

From 17 November 2008 till 31 December 2008, a purchase of SGD100.00 and above will entitle the spender to a Page One limited edition Gift Voucher.

Oh, and I've checked with the staffs too. You can combine receipts to get a voucher, provided you have same-day-purchase receipts.

Free Delivery Service!

2008-11-24T21:52:00.000+08:00

If you are a holder of My One Card (Page One membership card), you are entitled for a free delivery service if you spend a minimum of SGD200.00 and above.

Now only exclusively at Page One, you can have the options of having your presents and Christmas gifts fabric-wrapped a la Sao Tsutsumi Wrap also known as the Padded Carry Wrap.

Back in the olden days of the Edo era when plastic and paper is not available as wrapping and handling tools, Japanese use cloth wrappings known as Furoshiki. Dating approximately from the Muromichi era (1392-1573), Furoshiki can be used to wrap and carry object of variety of height and shape.

Not only that using Furoshiki will prevent waste, it is also a tasteful way to decorate objects and gifts. The Furoshiki cloths which range up to bed sheet size, are adorn with Japanese traditional pattern and art. Nowadays, you can even find some stores that carries those with modern designs.

READ every day: Book Vouchers

2008-11-19T01:06:00.000+08:00

Well, simply said, Page One's book vouchers come in SGD10, SGD20, SGD50 and SGD100 and the last I knew, there isn't any expiry date for their vouchers. Isn't that sweet? You can actually buy, example, a SGD100 book voucher and use it when you need to get something when you realized you don't have enough cash on you. This is a good way to get customers coming back loyally, and as far as I'm concerned, other bookstores vouchers have expiry dates and it is such a killjoy when you have to use it by a certain date or forfeit everything.

A Self-Confessed Page One Fan!!

2008-10-01T21:56:00.000+08:00

I've always been a Page One fan and I always patronise Books Kinokuniya when Page One was renting a shop space within the bookshop. But when it closed down, I was rather sad as I have one less place to visit for browsing quality books, that is until Page One got their very own shop-front at Singapore Vivo City. Alternatively, you can check out their Official site at Page One Group. Here are some screenshots of their website and it's really well done. Do note that all these images do not belong to me, they are copyrights of Page One Group and I am merely showing my utmost support for this wonderful bookstore that always bring a smile to my face.
