Finally, I have bought new clothing for the new school term... yaaaa.....
I went to M'sia on 20 june with my mum and Charmiane... we were supposed to meet Charmaine @ 10am at the woodland interchange, but we were late because of missing 2 buses (39 & 168) . I realised that whenever u're running late, the bus will come in superb late or move at a speed comparable to a turtle.... As a result, we only got to meet Charmaine @ 10.15am... On the other hand, we managed to get through the M'sia custom by 10. 50am

We made our way to the City Square shopping mall and along the way, u can hear the taxi driver asking in their unique Malaysian accent: "want taxi? anywhere also can." Ignoring them(Cos the shopping mall is just 5 min walk from the custom), we walked through the underpass where we saw this little boy begging for $$ with his mum looking in severe pain. Really pity the boy, but thinking that his mum still has her limbs, she can still find a job instead of begging on the streets.

At the shopping mall, there was a sale for Bum equipments and diseal clothings..
Me and Charmaine saw this nice pair of shoes foe RM 18 and decided to get one... due to our gigantic feet, we asked the sale personal for the largest size( hoping that there will be size 8 or 9), but guess what was his reply, "look for urself!!" Pissed by his poor service and attitude, we decided to create a mess out of the shoes... Pulling out shoes from their neat rows, we made a pile of shoes ranging from size 4 to 7... that would teach him a lesson for not serving his customers well..... Something different from Spore where customers are often served to their satisfation.....

We then moved to the next exhibit of clothes where i found a sweater and a red T-shirt( for the NDP) for myself, with the prints: It's real hot right here... bet it will be the most suitable clothing to be wore on 9 Aug at the Padang.... On the display, i saw another nice sweater which i persuaued my mum to buy for my brother (but hoping that my brother will share it with me )...... hehe.... and yes he did....

Following that, we went to the highest level and shopped for a new school bag and shoes. As the ones i liked were new arrival, the price were similar to those in S'pore. My mum being a superb saver said: "wait for the price to drop then u buy... now same as Spore, no point buying", so i left the shops empty-handed, hoping that i will still be able to get them when i returned at a later date... because the CSI PC game was out of stock that day, when i could actually buy it at the last shopping trip there, but miss it because it was "new arrival".....

When our stomach started growling, we headed for the food court for lunch. I bought Yong Tao Foo as their noodles are different from Spore. They mixed their noodles with a black sause and oil, which gave it a nice fragrance and unique taste like the KL noodle. My mum had Hor Fun which i called it hai di lao zhen (scoping for needles in a sea). As my mum took a long time to decide on wat to eat, me and Charmiane finished our food by the time she returned. Dessert was on our mind, so i got Ice kacang (with tasteless red beans and chocolate sause), something different from Singapore .... Another difference was: One with darker complexion and ablitiy to speak Malay gets a larger serving of everything....

Continued with our "window-shopping" till 3.45pm, when my mum wanted to go to this "wuloo" supermarket across the road to buy the packets of frozen fried chickens and prata.... It was so "wuloo" to the extend that onli one-tenth of the shelves are filled with goods.... so nothing to buy at all...

In all, I spent my RM 100 on 2 sweaters, 2 T-shirts, 1 bottle of nail polish and 3 bars of chewing gums.... It was quite a fulfiling trip as i managed to get some clothings for myself in 1 shopping trip in M'sia, whereas i can't even get one piece of clothing for the past 10 shopping trips i had in Spore since i was jobless... However, the Malaysian's service made me ponder whether to go there again..... There is still hope for Spore's service despite our ranking of the service we provide to shoppers, is slipping... At least we know that we are still a learning example for our neighbouring countries......
