i think the school holiday is about to start
as usual tourists flooded my place
and today is a special occasion in Mahayana Buddhist calendar
lunar calendar of 19th Feb
which is the birthday of Guan Yin
hence, that’s how crowded it is in the temple
11.00 a.m.
12 noon
then like what the normal tourists would do
if they couldn’t stand the sun any longer
we flooded the mall
and there is this particularly flooded store.. oh my
1 p.m.
waiting for mom to shop
that’s my look of the day
in fact
we kinda predicted the crowd
to prevent losing each other in the middle of the sea
we wore the same outfits for easy recognition
bumped into this cardigan i really like
but too bad the navy blue were left with size XS
which is a little bit too small for me
and my principle for cardigan/jacket etc
is always since you pay the same price
might as well get the large size
since ultimately you gonna wear something inside
i would have settled for grey
if mom is buying another blouse, since it is 2@88
she didn’t buy, so i didn’t too
loots of the noon
loads of facial mask
from the particular crowded store
each for 1rm
actually i didn’t wanna buy at first
mom was saying, you spend so much time making your own mask
just settle it with an one buck mask will do
therefore i chose those with rare ingredients
not-so-D.I.Y.-able at home
apple, you mean?
no i didn’t take that
probably mom took it, cos it is for anti-aging
4.30 p.m.
2nd round, with fellow market surveyor, Cheryl
same mall, because we won’t have much choice, do we
plus me vs my mom and me vs Cheryl
or even me vs my dad (we were here yesterday)
have different territories and motivations
therefore, i don’t really mind paying the third visits
within 24 hours
she was stuck in heavy jam
went around this miscellaneous store
where they sell hardware to baby wears
bought some random stuffs
that’s the thing for miscellaneous store
it created wants, even if you do not have the needs
it is always tough to come out empty-handed
and i actually phoned up my dad
to check if he wants this
but too bad he didn’t pick up my call
therefore i took this
5.10 p.m.
half an hour has passed
after the jam, it was the parking issue
Cheryl was stuck in the middle of nowhere
waiting for vacant parking
i wandered to this part of the world
which i have hardly been, although i know of its existence
Bundle Clothes a.k.a. used clothing
and i actually found something quite lovely
for 5 rm, for 5 rm
i mean even the cloth material costs more than that
dresses.. all the long dresses
at 5 rm
and this one
i mean i always want a hoodies like that
where i can just put both of my hands into the pocket
and act indifferent, looking in all directions
but talking to the person right in front
and guess who else did we spot
a poor Snoopy with a love letter and heart-shaped balloon
i would have bought it
if i can just figure out how to give it a “nip-tuck”
6.30 p.m.
back to the crazy sales one buck store
the crowd never receded
and it was even difficult to get into the middle
7.00 p.m.
found cha
saw it at Pavilion the other day
Eva actually said that it looked like a potato sack
reasonable right, since i love potato so much
i don’t mind carrying its sack around
our usual mirror
i have got rid of my hair
they won’t recognize i have been here twice, i hope
loots of the evening
a heavy grey recycled plastic bag
containing
everything for 20 rm
everything for 20 rm
and the tags confirmed my picks
not forgetting
this is going to last me for year
provided that my boss didn’t steal it from me
this is one of the best marketing survey ever
this is one of the best experience ever
on how i spent 50++ bucks away
on so much loots
isn’t a shame
when girls around me are buying blazers
while i am in my own heaven, hugging my Mickey and Nike hoodies
good things never discriminate against ages
and they most probably will last for ages
