Overjoyed - Singapore, My Experience

[Drone]

Hello,

I was visiting Singapore last week and took some time to hop over to a new store (for me anyway) called "Overjoyed". I was very pleasantly surprised with what I found!

Down in the basement of the aging and somewhat run-down Golden Wall Centre, which is located at the corner of Albert and Short street, is a breath of fresh air... Overjoyed is a beautiful shop with all kinds of arts and crafts supplies. There is a good collection of products for the Fountain Pen lover too; pens, paper, notebooks, ink, etc. Have a look at the Overjoyed Web site (link below) to get the full story.

The staff at Overjoyed was knowledgeable, cheerful and more than happy to help with any question I had. I purchased a couple of notebooks (Rhodia and Paperblanks), a bottle of Diamine Ancient Copper, and two TWSBI ECO pens (black 1.1mm stub and white M-nib).

By the way, for you computer and electronics buffs, Overjoyed is within walking distance to Sim Lim Square and Sim Lim Tower.

Disclosure: I am not affiliated with Overjoyed - just a happy customer.

Hello!

 

I hope you enjoyed your stay in Singapore!

 

Indeed, Overjoyed used to be the only place in Singapore where you could get Rhodia and Clairefontaine. (Rhodia is since now available in Kinokuniya and NBC). I like the place, it's warm and nice and cosy.

 

Plus it's quite near (within 1km me thinks) of a beloved pen store Fook Hing, situated at Bras Basah Complex.

 

Thanks for visiting Singapore and I hope we have left you with a good impression! If the reception extended to you was not up to your expectation, kindly bear with us!

 

We hope to see you again in Singapore (plus, maybe, you could come for our pen meets if you happen to be in the area!)

@Lord Epic,

 

Do you work at Overjoyed? If so, we may have met during my visit. No matter if-not, and thank you for the additional Singapore info by the way. I did meet the folks at Fook-Hing Trading also during my visit. Danny at Phua at Fook-Hing, will hopefully help me to procure a fairly hard-to-find Pilot pen in Singapore by my next visit in four to six weeks. I currently live in Jakarta. So not too far as the planes fly. Cheers, David

Hi David,

 

Nope I don't work there, but I thought being a Singaporean, I should be promoting a positive image of my country Being small, every tourist dollar count!

 

Danny's a great guy, I love spending time at Fook Hing (although, my wallet probably hates me )

 

Perhaps when you next come, you can join us for pen meets! Hope to see you around locally soon!

 

 

Cheers, and have a good day,
