Shopping, shopping and shopping

Over the weekend, We went for CNY shopping.

On Saturday after the dentistry talk organized by The Star Educational Fair,we all geared to conquer KLCC. First we have to get the dough to spend.I was amazed the ATM machine at Maybank KLCC was a brand new one with the camera positioned at the top of the screen.That camera is all time ready to capture any defiant culprit.Carefully,I keyed in all data making sure the machine will tongued-out the valuable papers.

First stop at Top Shop, Shaun spent almost 1/3 of our budget.I have not been shopping in KL for long time. After few hours,I still can't seem to like anything. Jess too was very frustrated with the choice and.... the crowd.At the end of the day,the car was full of Shaun's shopping bags. Jess and I managed to get one item each.

Mid-Valley was our second day shopping venue.It is close to HELP institute where we went to consult on option path to accountancy course for Shaun.The situation does not reverse. Shaun was happy with shopping and Jess still can't get as much as she wants.The shopping spree stopped earlier on second day as everyone is getting lethargy when the sunset greet us.

I am not a profligate spender, so at the of 2 days shopping adventures, I end up with 3 pcs of clothing. A must-have one set (2 pcs) of red CNY dress for the first day.The other one for Spring as I am going back to Rome in February soon.

I also bought some CNY delicacy and traditional confectioneries.

"Neen-kou" which means New Year cake in Cantonese

and more traditional goodies;egg love-letter rolls,fortune cookies, almond cookies and labh blah but I only bought few.

Not only the dress has to be in red,the foods are packed in red and the house is all decorated in red. Not so much of mine.



So, you see how much Red means to Chinese. I want red, red red. I want luck,luck ,luck.
