Shop till you drop! (on your knees, that is)

Salam, hello :)

Letting my feet to rest, now the fingers to work! Hmm cheesy. Well, I just got back from Pavilion with my family and I guess this is the longest period I've been to a shopping mall. From 1 to 8 p.m.! A record! Another broken record is that we paid three visits to the surau! WHOA.

But, seriously, there's nothing to buy at Pavilion. Ehem. Let me clarify some things first. Baba wanted to buy a belt so we went to Parkson. We saw a random belt. And the pricetag? Not so random; RM600. WHAAA. Rupa-rupanya diperbuat drpd kulit biawak! Astaghfirullah, bakpo nok guna biawok nyo! Bukannya cantek pon belt tu. Then we just went to one shop after another (for example; Topshop) and flipping at the pricetags and gasp in awe at the pricetags. Simple T-shirts couldn't have cost that much! :\ Yeah we expected this la, going to an elite shopping mall like Pavilion.

Baba had to meet his clients. Some of us followed Baba, some accompany Ummi. We also went to an electrical appliances store which is a must when the legs are getting heavier and heavier by the minute. Bleyla tengok free TV. Free TV la sangat. Then Ummi and I went to a boutique called NICHII. There were many nice dresses and shirts and there were also hijab friendly dresses. Ummi bought a shift dress and it's quite reasonably priced, too! (ye la, to be compared with those other ridiculous priced clothes) But I couldn't buy the dress I wanted due to some circumstances but it's OKlah. So itulah.

I bought some things at S&J gift shop and then all of us reunited, pastu lepak kat kerusi-kerusi yang disediakan makan roti. Pastu makan kat FoodRepublic (food court-ish). Amani, my 9-year-old sister belanja minum kakak dia yang pokai ni. HAHAHA :P HAHA. Pastu time nak balik tu, my four-year-old sis, Anis Amanda refused to be "escorted" at the parking lot. She thot she is already big lah, can walk through the parking lot by her own.

Maka, sy pon tanyalah, "Nak Kak Alin dukung tak?" Gue tanya je tapi terus dukung.

Pastu dia dok bobe (Kelantanese for babbling), "Kak Alin dukung Amanda eh Kak Alin. Amanda penatlah jalan-jalan. Kak Alin tak penat kan? Kak Alin dukung Amanda eh. Asyik jalan-jalan je. Kak Alin tak penat. Amanda penat la. Pastu Kak Alin dukung eh.."

She goes on and on (point nye satu je) dengan selambanya till I asked her to shut up baru dia senyap. Mentang mentang dah reti cakap pahtu byk kosa kata dia dah tau. Ko ingat aku tak penat ke?! :P Tapi memang dia penat pon, masuk kete je terus terlentok. But although we didn't buy much, it was a good family bonding experience :D We chatted about many things, gas-station-toilets memories (ehem), Yana pranking a mak cik on the phone when the mak cik was enquiring our grandfather Tok Abah, Taylor Swift, religious things, dream cars and all.

I had a good time :D Besides that, I also learned that life is just not about branded goods and it doesn't matter what kind of places you go, but who you are with. That's what matters the most.
