shopping

want to thank God today, because i went shopping for a tambourine.

at first all my internet research and friends tell me seem to say that it would cost $43.

but i went to bras basah and found one that was $20.

then i went to peninsula plaza and bought my tambourine for $14!! its not as pretty as the branded one but its just what i was looking for. :)

Thank God, He answered my prayer this morning.

shopping!!!!

i had a rather fruitful day of shopping today! so happy. prayed in the morning before setting off. bargaining makes me feel frustrated as i'm not v good at it and i always wonder if i paid too much. today i didnt need to bargain at all cos either its not that kind of shop or the prices quoted were already v low (mayb cos i look like student today, as 1 shopkeeper says)

here's wat i bought!!! conversion rate: S$1 abt 5 rmb (now a bit lower i hear mayb 4.4)

at walmart
jeans 50 rmb (some shops sell 80 to 100 rmb)
2 pairs of rabbit wool socks 19 .9 rmb

on the way to bus stop
track pants 29 rmb (some places sell 70 rmb)
wooden comb 4 rmb

we bought a water boiling flask thing at Guomei for 108 rmb! its 1.2 l and uses the heat fr the bottom device which is better and usually costs 130 and above!

met Jean on the way home and finally went to the 2nd hand clothing stores!
so many cheap winter clothes! it seems they bring bags fr guangzhou to sell there. the clothes all still v good and mostly new looking! i wld only buy a winter coat tho cos other clothing seem to intimate to me.. :)

my favourite buy today!
winter coat for 30 rmb!!! (costs usually over 200 rmb in shops) been looking for one these few days :)

then later..
thermal pants 30 rmb (v good ones!)

then q happy cos the gloves i bought recently for 18 rmb was selling for 30 rmb at some other shops and their quality look worse then mine.. mayb i didnt buy them too high after all.. oh well at most it's only abt S$4.. but i sort of still think i cld have bought them for 15 rmb? 12? i'll never know so shld stop thinking abt it. bad habit..

Thank God :)
