Guide to A Pleasant Shopping Experience
(1) pack light
*
(2) keep your money at different places to avoid excessive spending
*
(3) spare bag to carry your shopping loot back.
I had forgotten about this.
Ended up carrying my stuffs in plastic bag.
This is quite risky because i don’t know
when will the bag break,
or i may just forget to take the bag along.
*
(4) hire a personal shopping assistant
*
or a big bag allowing us to throw our items in
*
My Treasures
can be classified into 4 categories
Fashionable stuffs
Indian flava
Souvenirs
Just for fun
*
(1) fashionable stuffs
i bought this pair of shoes
because i am just thrilled by white sneaker
my Adidas Superstar is retiring soon
and i am not satisfied with
an ordinary pair of Stan Smith
*
the bargain for this
is buy 1 free 1
Kenneth was trying out some shoes
hoping we can share the bill
unfortunately he couldn’t find any
*
so i was forced to give up the shoes
but when i was paying for the two tops
the salesperson offered to
sell it to me
at 50% discount
however SGD 100
is still not a very cheap price
to pay for a pair of sneakers
*
but then only i discovered
this is actually a pair of golf shoes
so cool
it’s worth the money i paid
*
*
Puma top that doesn’t look too Puma
more like MNG
that’s what i am looking for nowadays
*
never own any sporty spag top like this
SGD 10 is quite reasonable i guess
*
celebrate the color
i was attracted by the colorful top
but it is supposed to be a girl dress
but i managed to fit in
*
these are actually from a guy
vending the clothes
by carrying it around the street
*
this is either a long skirt
or a tube dress
it’s pretty angelic
but not if it’s worn on me
*
hand made stuffs are always cool
*
a Nike watch i got at B’lore airport
for 50% discount
i was always looking for a sporty watch
can’t expect me to wear Seiko or Titus
to go jogging
*
finally this one
and it’s black in color
doesn’t it look a bit O.D.M.?
p.s.
to the guy who criticized i am wasting my money away
please compare and contrast the watches properly
*
(2) Indian flava stuffs
*
(3) souvenirs
i like the house portrayed on this rug
the color combination is good too
somehow i sacrificed it
gave it to my uncle
because in my dad’s eye
this is not a collectible
it’s just any other souvenir
*
a pair of peacock motif mini plate
it reminds me of the pair of peacock lamp
we have at home
i think they will be perfect match
*
this is a hand-drawn elephant drawing
we were quite amazed by those
fine drawing similar to this
we saw else where
but they are way too expensive
i think finally Kenneth and Jia Loon
bought those fine drawing
ok lo, didn’t jio me
*
i brought this to Daiso
bought a frame
and presented it as a gift
to my rag team
*
somehow dad is always looking for
a bronze horn
at flea market
so i got him this
but i got the feeling that
he will still get one of the
hand-pressing horn
*
my niece will always laugh
when i blow it
but her daddy said that
we shouldn’t blow it anymore
it will injure her ears
okies…
*
animal prints
can print my own shirt
or they are just fine
to stand on the shelf as decorations
*
my dad was thrilled by this pair of elephant
he put it on his collection shelf immediately
my original intention for this pair of elephant
was back-up souvenir
just in case i miss put any V.I.P.
*
and the price offered was too great
to be turned down
but the weight was something to be considered
*
and on my way back
i kept thinking of my dear elephants
whether they will break
luckily they were not hurt
otherwise i would be heartbroken
for being cheated
*
at first
i didn’t feel like buying
who would want to carry such heavy marbles
i casually asked him whether he had got
peacock print one
*
gosh, he managed to take one out
and they are so cute
since dad always complains that
we are spoiling his tables
by putting hot drinks on them
this is an ideal home improvement item
i have to admit that
i am a vain girl
peacock always attracts me
*
free gift from the shop
somehow i like the photos of Lord Krishna
hanging out with his GFs
may i be blessed
for …………………..
*
(4) just for fun
my niece likes to play with them
that day Min Wey and Teck Thye
were playing air ping pong
using these bats too
*
my lovely ferris wheel
look out for more photos
featuring it
coming up very soon
gosh, i haven’t named it yet
*
my niece said this is a
noodle-making machine
……. swt
got this at the airport
how can i miss out M&M
whenever i am at an airport
*
left it on the bus on my way
back to Melaka
waited for 2 hours
since the driver had gone for his lunch break
but so grateful that i found him back
that’s why this clock is precious, isn’t it?
i left it on my dad’s writing table
so that he can think of me
whenever he is working
Cases of Shopping Failure along the Journey
*
(1) Shrek from Macs… run out of stock
envious of Kenneth who got the Hippo
*
(2) Mango trees
innocently thought that i can transport some
Indian mango back to plant at backyard
go give it to my grandpa or uncle
basically our family enjoy planting mango trees
*
the gardener kindly bought them for me
but they are so huge
forget bout it
left them at the hostel
*
(3) Reebok legging
i never own any legging
i fell in love with this pair of Reebok legging
it was purple stripes
with a mini skirt
my desire to own it heightened
when the dance instructor
who taught us Bollywood dance
was wearing something similar
but can’t find it at other Reebok outlet
*
(4) M&M figures
i like this
but it’s a bit ex
so gave up the idea
but i am happy
with the mr. Yellow alarm clock
the price is half of this
*
(5) Vodafone sim card
it died out after a few days
stating that we failed to provide the address
there was still some credit in it
and the good thing about this sim card is
i couldn’t call sg number, but msian one worked
i could send smses to both countries,
but couldn’t receive smses from both
*
the packaging is nice
perhaps designed in UK
but the service provided
is still Indian standard
no choice
*
