Ra Ra Raya

Wednesday, October 18, 2006

Yesterday was a day well-spent. I made chocolate chip cookies in the morning and bought my baju kurung in the afternoon. I swear Angsana at JB looks like Singapore not because of the interior but because there were so many Melayu Singaporeans shopping there.

I don't usually like to buy new baju kurung/kebaya for Hari Raya. I think I stopped feeling excited for all-things-new about 3 years ago. Because I have so many of 'em baju kurung as it is. And I don't wear them often except for maybe weddings but you know how I feel about weddings so...

My mum would be nagging me to at least get something new cos she said 'not nice lah cos I'm already working and not get a new baju kurung...' or somewhere along that line. So usually someone would be nice enough to 'sponsor' me a new pair and I'm always grateful.

But guess what? I bought 2 pairs of baju kurungs for this year lah seouls. I don't know what came over me. I bought bukan satu tapi DUA baju kurungs! Haha I know it may not sound like a big deal to some but it's quite phenomenal to me. What is more, I bought them out of my own free will. And out of my own pocket, too. So yeah I'm a happy bunny.

Yan bought like, 3 pairs of chapal for his dad, his brother and himself. Anak mithali, he. Here's a tip when you shop at JB. Bargain like there's no tomorrow. They would usually mark up the prices so high, you'd be stupid if you don't bargain. I'm the Queeng of Bargaining. I'd put the seasoned shoppers at flea markets to shame. Hurhur. This is not cheapskate, understand? It's getting what you want at a very good price. And rightly so, too.

Ok lah back to work. Ciao chin chow bandung soya bean.

FYI, I hate chin chow, bandung and soya bean. But if there's only these 3 types of drinks in this world and die-die I must drink, I'd go with soya bean first, then bandung, then chin chow. Chin chow is actually drain water with ~~maggots~~ leeches.
