Shopping time

Today, our shopping started again. Left home at about 2.30pm and took bus/train to Chinatown. We went to buy some CNY goodies. In fact not much to buy. We just bought some Taiwan jellies and peanuts (黑金刚). This year, we have to control and not to buy too much.

After that, proceeded for early dinner at around 5pm. Had porridge at the famous coffee shop. Now we are smarter. Don't wait for seats at the first floor. Just proceed to 2nd floor where there are more seats and its cooler. More hygienenic too as there are no cars moving beside the tables.

Went to CK store and stayed for a while. Not to buy things but.... to enjoy the cool aircon before proceeding to the market. Hahaha....

Bought my dad's working pants, socks (similar type we found in Taiwan), blankets (to replace our current ones which we become "woolly" each morning as the wool kept coming off) and a CD for my mum (CNY songs). After that, we decided to take a cab to Simei Eastpoint to buy abalone from ZTP and also to try our luck again at the Bega store.

Luck was here and money was spent! I bought 12 pieces of blouse + pants and my sister bought 16 pieces in total. Our damage was $528 for me and $628 for my sister. 4 pieces difference with only $100. My sister 赚到了! Any way, we were happy that we managed to buy some more clothing. Just one week difference and we could buy so many pieces from Bega. Last week, we found none when we walked into Bega store at NEX.

After buying the clothes, we went to ZTP store. It's 10pm and we were trying our luck if it was still open since it was near to CNY period. To our surprise, the store was no longer there. Ai yah! Have to go to another location liao.
