BaCk FrOm MsIa!!!

Yo yoz, I'm just back from msia after two days of family vacation... hahah looks like this is the shortest trip ever! As usual, I engaged in my fav activity-- Shopping! but i'm really sick of shopping and spending now... after all the prom shopping... but i need to do shopping for xmas again! sucks... at least i wrote all the xmas cards already :)

i think the nicest part about staying at johore bahru is that my family stayed at Pan Pacific! it's really nice there, got a semi swimming pool, sauna and other fitness activities (though i tried neither of those)... the bubble lifts are really fascinating too, never fail to give me a bird eye view of the surroundings... and the hotel overlooked this vestigial castle, looking as majestic as it was in its old days. it's brown in colour and look real sturdy...my dad said it belongs to the sultan...

basically, i only did my shopping at city square cos it requires hours to finish visiting all five stories of shopping outlets... well, act the mall is like any other in singapore, just that the currency used is ringgit and that some items are cheaper... had to do lotsa mental calculations to make sure that it's worth making the purchases... i think one interesting thing abt the shoppers there is that they get very excited when they see sale items... like they'll snatch up the apparels and browse very quickly thru the items... well altogether, i bought a Mango top, nike spag top, a set of triump lingerie, earrings for zj, facial wash, face cream, contacts protein tablet, eye drops, stockings... my sister bought a nike bag for her sch too... the rest of the money is simply spent on food... kinda ex there.. but at least we tried the roadside stalls which sell tasty food and charges at really low rates... a dinner for 4 only cost S$10! haha... but a meal for 4 at vivo and peir restaurant are more ex, costing more than RM 30...

after all these shopping, i felt kinda physcially and emotionally enervated... was asking myself if this is wat i wanna do for the rest of my life... just earn money and spend it on shopping... for the sake of temporary gratification... i really wish i could do something different, something more meaningful... as i was heading towards the customs, i donated all my msia coins to a beggar... really wished that i can help more pple like them... maybe for a start, i shall donate all my unused stuff to charity this xmas!!! let's spread the love around... :)
