I went shopping for Chinese New Year clothes with my sister last Wednesday. It's been such a long time since we last went out together that i can't even remember when was the last time. It's usually with her two girls, or with my parents.. Initially, our plan was to meet up at Eunos MRT and then go to Orchard for lunch and shopping. Sis had taken half day leave and I was working from home. However, we ended up meeting quite late around 130pm cause Sis had work to clear. So we went to Bugis instead of Orchard.
We had lunch at this Japanese cafe which sucked. I wanted to eat fried rice at my fave tea house but apparently, it's no longer there. So sad!! = (
After about 2-3 hours of shopping, Sis managed to buy all her New Year clothes. Me on the other hand, didn't buy any clothes at all. Instead, i bought 2 pairs of shoes. Nearly bought 3, but the 3rd pair was too tight. I think i am falling in love with this shoe shop at Bugis Junction. It's got a Japanese sounding name. "Mitju" or something like that. They have a branch at Clarke Quay too. Will probably go there and get some more shoes before Chinese New Year.. heehee..
After 3 hours of air-conditioned shopping, we proceeded to the back street market to look for a pair of black tights to match this top that Sis bought. While shopping, we passed by this tattoo shop where there were quite a few people getting tattoed inside the shop and outside where the shop owners had chairs set up for people to sit and get inked. I asked Sis if she wanted to take a look, her response was "Yee, don't want la." So i asked her why she responded the way she did, and she said she thought tattoos were gross and so painful.. At the moment, i was torn between telling her i had one, or not to. In the end, i decided not to. There will be a better time for my little secret to be disclosed to her!
Anyway, our little shopping spree ended with us exchanging our receipts for Ang Baos at the customer service counter, and then buying bread at Four Leaves for breakfast the next day. Sis also bought some Otah (fish / Mackeral cake) at this store called Otah Inc. Which i thought was a brillant idea. They sell Otah in such a creative way i am impressed.. Otah Tortilla, Otah tarts, Not so spicy Otah for kids etc...
I wonder which genius thought of this idea, and what else can be done like this??
