So I was sending off my boy friend at the airport, hehe he's going to Kyoto. After all the goodbyes and hugging, I was on the way to the public bus area. While going down the escalator, I saw The Cocoa Trees and a sign board that screams "We absorb GST". I was intrigued by the sign and as I was craving for chocolate I decided to go and take a look (and being the cheapskate that I am).
I went into the shop and first thing I asked was that if I am eligible for the GST absorption and lo and behold I am! I thought that you're only eligible if you're foreigner here with passport proof. Anyway so I went to look at all the choices that I have. I wanted to get Kinder Surprise for my family as Singapore no longer carries it, only special chocolate shop like The Cocoa Trees carries them. Kinder Surprise is a very evil confectionery, it's shaped like an egg and inside the eggs you have toys. I was crazy about them when I was young. They have many amazing toys in them.
Alas they don't carry the evil eggs as it's sold out. I choose Toblerone instead, 200g and it comes in small bite sizes, also it's the cheapest option there is so I bought two. After paying, the lady gave me a scratch card and I'm like oh, okies thank you. I walked out from the stall and I'm like what is this, so I went back and asked the lady what is this thing. She said it's a scratch card that entitles you to discount and she scratch off the scratchy part and she told me I am eligible for 35% discount for my next purchase. I'm like oh, can I use this immediately? She said yes and I went back to buy more mocha chocolata.
And so I got this 5 packet of goodness for only 15 bucks. Hehe I love Cadbury.
Oh apparently you can get the scratch card if you spend 40 dollars and above, I only spent 8 dollars for 2 Toblerone. Such a nice lady! Such a happy day for me. Nom nom.
