Shop til’ we drop
Yup, this weekend is all about shopping, researching and spending money. I know u must be saying economy is not good now and etc, probably things came at a wrong time and it came at a rush! Don’t understand what I am saying? Well, let me explain…
Less than a week ago, Jack got to know from his company that he will be sent to Den Bosch, Netherlands for a month! And we have never experience winter before, the reason why i say “we” is because me too taking this opportunity to join him during his last week in Den Bosch
Then we can tour Europe together. So everything been confirmed then we need to decide the day we are to fly back and that caused some raise of voices. Now i understand that “rush” feeling in planning.
Yup, weekend is the only time we have to shop for Winter clothings, have not researched on those clothing before and the most well-known are only 2 in Malaysia, Winter Time and Universal Traveller. Went looking around, first was Friday nite, short time in Pyramid after dinner, Sat, 1U after collecting my medical report! (Yays! I am all healthy
hehe, so we head for crabs and seafood for dinner in Puchong, with no returns from 1U except for a couple of socks. Then Today is the best, we concluded everything by researching Sungei Wang for my pair of soft-leather boots and Winter Time for the size we reserved. And man, sales at Winter Time was good! The shop was so mess-up with their cloths and so many customers was around, so we got 2 long-johns, 1 jacket+wind-breaker, 1 sweater, a pair of gloves, and a vacuum bag, and Man, it cost near to 1K, never knew that going for a trip during Winter is not an easy task! Luckily for his GOOD company (sorry for the emphasizing) But i think i need to emphasize it, cos a big portion of these spending is sponsored by the company. (I’m wondering if my company do provide sponsors on winter clothing is they would to send me overseas during Winter) ; well probably they won’t even send me, cos i don’t have those clothings
So there’s the 2 days spent walking around shopping malls, I realize that there’s actually less people hanging around shopping malls now. There are more malays instead of chinese, surprisingly. I think people are now very conscious about their spendings with the unstable economic around the globe. I am not sure if I made the right choice to go to Europe again. With me spending a bomb in June for my Paris trip and now, Netherlands and other parts of Europe? Well, I would like to thank my boss for letting me go and clear all my leaves despite of the many leaves i’ve taken this year…hehe
I’ve earned it anyway! And also pressure is given to hit target after my holidays, since sales is not so promising that last quarter of the year.
Hope things will turn out better in beginning of 2009!
