Back in the mid 90s, i was working here on the 6th storey.There was a food shop at 2nd floor, where there was a delivery boy by the name of Ah Zai. He would do drink and snacks delivery for the shops. When he was seconds before arriving at the shops, he would mimic the doorbell sound “ding dong” and then when he leaves, he would mimic the sound of a sports car vrooming away. He had a tragic story where he has to care for his old mother and an intellectually challenged brother, he himself is not 100% too but he is great at maths, counting money for change. I often thought of him and wonder how he is now. Hope he is doing well Sim lim square is now not what it used to be. Those times was a good memory
I found the toys at Happibox is more interesting than Pop Mart, have been patronizing its outlet at Lucky Plaza 😍 my memories of Sim Lim Square is to get IT accessories and games from there… and there are always lots of staff waiting by the escalators at each floor passing you flyers and price lists from the various IT shops 😅
Aware that both truly respect ur parents,occasionally heard u all mentioned about them.Thanx 4sharing the mall exploration,incredible sight to behold especially the toy shop,quite unique.Jovial communication really uplift the spirits of watching.😍👍🙏
SLS the tech haven for PC enthusiasts in SG in the past is fast becoming the next Orchard Towers nowadays because of Lazada, Shopee, Taobao, Aliexpress, Amazon and etc
My list of 'To Do' collected from your videos is getting v long....can't wait till I get back to SG to check off the items. Thank you very much. You and Jie Jie are such good ambassadors for SG! 🍋😘
Thanks for bringing back so much memories. Can't believe that G&E gaming is still there! Definitely will visit the foodcourt as it look renovated. Am still waiting for your to visit Bukit Timah Plaza, your can eat there as well.
阿鴻你好, 已經訂閱和關注你的頻道一段時間了~ 很喜歡你們姐弟兩人的組合,也非常喜歡你們逛"Old Mall"的這個主題~👍 Best wishes to your upcoming contents~🤩 在 2:11 你們唱的歌是 , 同時也是女子天團*S.H.E*在專輯裡的第4首歌"半糖主義"喔~☺
The mall where I bought my Walkman, Discman and DIY desktops.. Sad to see its state now. I still visit occasionally for coffee at Killiney and browse at IT/electronics peripherals .
SLS was a 50/50 experience for me, back when i was still a secondary school student, i got scammed here while trying to buy my 1st PSP (playstation portable). They will market it at lower than RRP, then hook you into buying warranty etc. Sigh. Then again SLS also saved me when i spilled coffee on my company’s laptop, and a change of brand new keyboard only cost me $40, and it only took 30 mins.

The merchant need to pay 2% or 3% to the bank for card charges as standard. But it will eat into their margin. It's actually against the law or bank policies if i'm not wrong. So as an unspoken rule, you pay cash, you get the price they quoted, but if you use card, they will need to add on the 3% charge. So always we go down drawn money to pay cash instead.
Yes, this is the real reason why merchants prefer cash over credit card, esp luxury goods like Rolex watches n such. So payment by cash usually can get better discount from merchants.
@@clairenclarenceful That's not the common way it's done. They give u discount off the price instead. Meaning instead of paying the bank, they rather pay the money to u. This will encourage the customers to buy .. and also to come back to them again for future purchase. No merchant will demand customers to pay extra on top of the prices should they use credit cards.
@@yappyyap7594 yep, end of the day is a win win for both seller and customer. It's up to merchant how they gonna do business, although policy states they can't do that, who will complain them to pay more?
Oh dear! That blind box shop is so tempting to me! I will get broke if I stepped into that shop! I never like POP Mart figurines cos they have that cheap look, standard design idea and mediocre quality which I believe all the figurine designers are from China. This HappiBox looks a lot more interesting and the designs are pretty unique, although some series I have seen in Bangkok n Malaysia. Btw, 大黑天 is the one of the avatars of Shiva (Hinduism), known by this name in 密宗, otherwise as 大自在天 in mainland Chinese scriptures. I still keep my 3 authentic first-generation Game-n-Watch consoles: Fire (which is the very first design), Chef and Octopus, bought during my primary school days. They were the most stylio-milo toy invention of that time, I vaguely remember each costs $20 to $30 those days and that's pretty pricey in those days!! Too bad, all my consoles are not functioning anymore. Lastly, the Turkish food, esp that lamb shank biryani looks so yummy n affordable!! P/S: I have never visited Sim Lim Square before in my life. Thank you very much for bringing it to "mountain tortoise" like me. Kam Sia!
@@HongisBored During those days, we will buy different game sets n then exchanged among ourselves in order to try more games. I remember still have Manhole, Popeye, Helmet, Parachute etc
记忆中，ever seen sim lim square kena massive raid during the hey days when it's the heaven / hell for pirated CDs...me and my classmates look-see 1/2 way then suddenly the whole floor customers kena chase out and roller shutters come down in mid-day...maciam 大场面。
I love this place cause i like to browse a lot of tech stuff! It's a wonderland! This time i come early for ur video, yipeeeee :) P.S. I think the song you singing is Cheetah girls' Cinderella??
I used to go there and lug around a suitcase with my pc to PC Themes technology at #04-15 to get my pc fixed. Too bad me, my mum and uncle never eaten anything there before.😂

Pay you bribe to say their hummus is nicer (jie jie don't angry) HAHA joking! Thanks for the awesome content, easily could be 2 parts but you made it into 1. Respect!
I remember when MJ make purchase in Sim Lim Square,he didn't bother to ask for the price of each individual item.he just say I want this n that.then some 1 will just help him pay.if this sales person got "balls" n quote a sky high price,his sales number can be 1 or 2 weeks KPI 🤭
The retro gameshop boss scare to show his face?? He use to selling pirated stuff In the early days (now modern game people buy online or download direct to console) The basement game shop is a 黑店.. Don't go there unless you are like JJ who is rich 😀

Yes, this is the real reason why merchants prefer cash over credit card, esp luxury goods like Rolex watches n such. So payment by cash usually can get better discount from merchants.
Merchant need to bear the commission but is wrong to get customer to pay the 2% or 3% upon using credit card

Which one
Hello 🤗 nice to see you again 👍
@@danielkoh7001 yo!!!
I remember using cash / nets will be cheaper. If you use credit card there is a service fee.
👍🏻
i have to stop myself from visiting there because i will automatically go to RetroNutz and spend alot there 😅

Adults who game will find it a wonderland indeed
There’s a coin/notes shop beside the carpark frm the Sg Pools
And not sure if they Thai Boat Noodles shop (outside stretch) stil there
Didn’t notice 😅
Still cheaper to pay in cash, cuz the shops there add a percentage for transaction fees for credit card payments.
True lah, with nets or credit cards also still got transaction fees
U can try the salted egg upstairs. It is good
Ok man, wanted to!
@@HongisBored try next time bro

大概20年前，那时刚兴起数码相机，我就去Sim Lim Square想买数码相机，好像是2楼的店，我走进去问了一款我想买的数码相机，店员从柜台拿了给我看，我在看时想问一些资料，但店员再忙着自己聊天，我很礼貌地放在柜台面然后说谢谢就想转身走，突然店员大声地骂我“ 那妈A JB，不要来我店L 笑笑“ ，我当场愣了一下，转身说” 我是想买数码相机，还没决定那一款。。。“ ，他和另一个同事又用粗话招呼我和还想要打人，我就只能头也不回的走出店。。。。
我过后回想，我没有做什么事惹他们生气，我还很有礼貌地说谢谢，真的很莫名其妙，从那时候起，我再也不去Sim Lim Square，Funan价钱也合理，服务也很好。
是有些很Beng 的店没错
I remember when MJ make purchase in Sim Lim Square,he didn't bother to ask for the price of each individual item.he just say I want this n that.then some 1 will just help him pay.if this sales person got "balls" n quote a sky high price,his sales number can be 1 or 2 weeks KPI 🤭
