went to chinatown with mum and dad on fri after school. we had planned on going to the computer fair at suntec but it was an utter chaos. we couldnt even get into the carpark! so that obviously pissed the hell out of my dad, who i think has got to be one of the crankiest drivers ever. so came my brilliant idea to visit chinatown because i had just read about the new shops there. we trooped there with great pessimism but thankfully it was relatively uncrowded. yay for me. hahah i was so scared it would be crowded and my dad would flare up again =x

anyway, shopping at chinatown was a great experience. for one, i hadnt been there in the longest time. the last time i remember going there was two years ago to book my trip to korea. and even then we went straight for the travel agency without looking at any of the shops. so this time, we explored slowly. and the shops there are really interesting! when we walked into the emporium, it was like we had been teleported into china. seriously. it was everything i remembered china to be. haha. and they had really cute little shops selling cool fashion accessories. they had the funkiest watches for only 10 bucks each! of course it's not garuanteed to last more than 4 months. haha for that i gave it a pass. headed over to OG which was having this crazy sale. came out with a necklace, a pair of earrings and two bags, and i had spent less than 60bucks! i was really happy with the bags because they were so cute! and cheap. :D even my dad approved of them. haha. and i realise my dad's a pretty good companion for shopping :)

after that, we had a very dissatisfying dinner at the foodcourt. went up to the new shops that were featured in urban. but they were very disappointing. or maybe we were just too tired. came back down and bought loads of fruits which were really fresh! so yes, that concludes our wonderful chinatown shopping trip! haha i am a BIG fan of that place now.
