3. Bargain Hunting

Put away your school bags and grab some shopping bags to fill with cheap bargains.

The Thieves' Market at Sungei Road and the army market at Beach Road have some deals that are real steals.

Why not also visit the Olympic Superstore in Orchard Road, where you can buy all you want of Merly and Lyo ahead of the Youth Olympic Games. Tip: Bring a healthy sense of humour because you might laugh at the cost of some souvenirs.

But beware, all binge shoppers are vulnerable to buyer's remorse. When your wallet is thick from receipts rather than bank notes, it is time to stop.

Happy time: Depends on when the guilt sets in
