i really dislike shopping (unless it's for me of course). i went to far east plaza with my mum and sis cos she need formal clothes for her presentation on thursday. so, that place is like quite big and my mum wanted to bring us to this shop where she once bought formal shirts for my dajie last time. but she couldnt remember where it was so we combed the whole place until we finally spotted it. my sis took a shirt to try then complained that it didnt fit. so we left.we went downstairs cos there's a shop that sells neckermans (i love those!) my mum said she would buy me and my sis each a pair for christmas. we went there to try, when my sis met some of her friends. they told her they also went to that shop and asked her to go with them, they would help her find a shirt. so me and my mum stayed at the neckerman shop, me sitting there trying while my mum tries to haggle with the lady. after a while of unsucessful haggling, we find that they dont have the slipper in my size for that design (pinkish, of course) so we leave to find my sis. we go up and she's found one that she's happy with so we buy and go hunt for formal shoes on the ground floor.that place has soooo many shoe shops, all brandless though. it kinda reminds me of malaysia, far east. before we went shoe hunting there, we walked across to isetan, tangs and all those and the only thing we come out carrying is a mcdonalds ice cream cone.. so we walk back to far east to shoe hunt but my sis isnt exactly the easiest customer to please. so i show her sooo many pairs but she still isnt happy. after a long time, we decide to just go since we're going out for my parents' anniversary dinner. now, the problem is that we cant find the car. we walk all around the basement but everything looks the same after you've been staring at it for hours (ok, so maybe i'm exaggurating) so we just take some random staircase and find ourselves outside at the carpark entry. left with no choice, we decide to just use the same path as the cars. let me tell you, it is a loong walk. finally, we reach the car, with the help of the car finder thing. we head to fetch my second sis and my dad and go to chinatown for dinner at this shark fin restaurant. after a long search, we find it and go in. it's this place with lots of herbal teas and stuff, very china. the people there very cute, the way they talk to me very funny. so our shark fins come, very nice. got a lot of liao. so we go through everything (abalone, vegetable, rice, roasted meat, gui ling gao and egg tart) it's a very nice and filling (not to mention expensive i think). we're about to leave when my mum starts complaining that the guy cheated her (which he did) and tells him we are never coming back again. so on the way home is funny, with me and my sisters talking about funny cdan camp moments. i miss camp, it's the last time i'll be there as a camper. next year when i go, i'll be an assistant or smth..
