okay i'm definitely going perth. got my place in a school and now i'm trying to get a place in hostel(unlikely).
sigh i don't know where to buy winterwear. the ones in sg are hideous but i'm afraid i can't get something my size there. my friends say the children's department should have my size but i'm worried the children's department will have absolutely ridiculous clothes.
tsk.
HOW??????????????????????????????
anyhow buy one in sg.
buy the rest there.
confirm got better selections one.
buy online.. you can find the north face or colombia's in sg. perth is not that cold anyways, if needed wear more layers then get a jacket there.
when you get to Aussie, try shopping for clothes on ebay. Also there should be a factory clearance outlet mall in perth somewhere. The kids clothes here are quite fashionable, especially those for teens, they are cheaper too :). if you are on a budget, try target.
ermmmm ....
perth need winter wear meh ? ......
man.. the last thing u wanna buy clothes is go AUS or NZ.
Why u think people fly back with empty suitcase n fly back overweight ar! But for winter clothes should have many varieties ler. Go to korean boutique. They will sell one. few days ago went to buy jacket with friend. She like 155 cm n they have at the normal clothing shops. Nice jacket somemore with fur at collar. inside. looks good also. if here got sell.. perth confirm got one.

nah u dun need winterwear in perth.... perth is cold during june/july but u dun need those winter wear...
I heard from my cousin... you can try target or woolworths...over there...they have an array of clothes...
there are a few expired winter clothes threads in here .... do a search ...
the last thing you want to do, is to buy winter clothes in Singapore ....
especially those "winter wear" shops which sells obiang clothes at crazy prices ....
better off buying everything over there ....

thats true.. perth's winter is like spring in toronto.
agree with lao labbit and fatum
chin chai get something to chiam see tong first
go there then buy
but if not urgent (ie. if not going during winter time)
dun even need to buy now
wait till you get there
lots of varieties there and you won't stand out like a sore thumb wearing weird clothes if u buy locally
i'm assuming perth to be somewhat like adelaide where i was
and omg brey, target is not a budget store lor
target is nice
won't go wrong (but it's not all that cheap)
i went to melbourne with a few clothes, a couple of sweaters.. and bought my stuff there..
the winter wear here is either hideous or unreasonably expensive.. or both..
get your stuff there.. just anyhow buy a few warm pieces to tide you over.. buy the stuff there.. it'll be cheaper and you don't have to lug it all with you to and from the airports...
u going to which university??
Perth is a boring place to be in..Went to visit my friend who was studying there and finally realized how boring it can get..
a good jacket will do
just layer your clothes and you'll be fine
i'm in sydney now (:
congratz missqi! wishing you happy and meaningful time there!
i agree. don't buy in sg. besides, i didn't think u need winter wear in perth. hee hee...... kids clothings are nice. not too long ago, i was also shopping in the kids section. *sobs sobs*
wah. damn cold now. i v scared of cold leh. havent even winter i go out must wear layers+scarf :(

your body will get used to it.. it's 10 deg here in toronto today and thats nice !
babe, just bring a turtleneck and a padded jacket.
I've been to perth and its really not that cold & I survive with thick layers.
you should be concern for the heat cos it can be ultra hot there during summers.
perth no doubt is quiet, but there is lots of places to go from there. drive to freementle.
or find the oldest sleepy town with th oldest tree in australia.
and do drive to visit the kaola bear zoo, the reserves, the wine valleys and those lovely omellette breakfast near to shop that sells hose studels in town.
babe, have you gone to get a certificate of no conviction blah blah blah?
if you are small size, i can always pass u some winter stuffs you can use. I dont need them anymore since i am travelling to warmer climate.

jz wear 2 layers...... nothing one.... at ur hostel rem use a heater...
buy in singapore is more expensive than aust.
go to target, Big W. they often have sales on. the sales are genuine sales.
in my opinion, CHINA is cheapest. next time u go china, try to grab winter clothing.
studying in perth is not the wisest of choice if you are on a limmited budget. as inflation in perth is the worse.
housing is expensive, food price has almost increase ranging from 20 to 50%.
adelaide should be cheapest now!
omg. today got hail. i wear 7 tshirts and one jacket n scarf to school lor. u all bluff me say not cold not cold.
kns
haha perth weather are generally ok lah...i find the cold more bearable than the hot. When in summer, it can get really hot....being in Singapore, I guess we would appreciate the cold more often right...now should be around 10 degrees right...not so bad lah haha.... so did you manage to go around perth yet other than your school? I like that place very much
