Exploring Chinatown... :)

Yeah... my first entry in February this year. :) The week's been pretty ok since my last entry. Just wanna update what happened on Wednesday first... pretty 'happening' mah. I met up with Beebee to go Chinatown to buy bak gua for Mummy and Papa as well as Hubby's parents. Got the Fragrance bak gua for Mummy as planned, but didn't manage to get the Lim Chee Guan bak gua for Hubby's parents as he asked me to. The queue was so long and believe it or not, it was only about 3pm when we started queuing up but someone came along with a sign saying that all their bak gua were sold out! Wah.. famous really different.. so super hot! Anyway, we ended up buying all from Fragrance. Not bad leh, pay by mastercard can get $5 off each kg of bak gua. Ended up getting discount of $10. Hee. Can save some money... happy loh. ;D

After that, Beebee and I just went about exploring the streets. I whipped out my precious digital camera and went about like a tourist, snapping pictures and going 'Wah! So cheap! So cute! So pretty!' almost everywhere I went. Haha... really mah, the things there are really cheap and nice! Hmm... suddenly feel so sua-gu...aiya, but cannot blame, cos I hardly go that area mah! Ended up buying stickers (5 sheets for $1 only!), a nice fabric fan ($7!) and a lovely Hello Kitty keychain ($2!) along the streets. Hee... so pleased with my purchases. Later, we also discovered a shop selling nice clothes! Beebee and I chose the same top... haha, same taste mah! Great minds think alike! ;P

There, the nice aunty who sold us the beautiful fans and a view of the streets where we were

In the evening, when we were both famished, we walked about trying to find dinner but couldn't find a good place to settle that. In the end, we went to Chinatown Point and just ate dinner at Subways. Hehe, we also discovered a lovely Hello Kitty store! It's bigger than the one at Suntec City, and it looks absolutely cute (it's Hello Kitty, so what else can it be but cute?!)

So, yeah... just realised that Chinatown, where I used to always avoid cos of the crowd, has got lots of interesting places to explore and cheap but nice stuff too! But I really still don't think I'll ever go during Chinese New Year when it's that crowded... I've changed my mind about Chinatown but not about the icky feeling of getting squashed and pushed around amidst a sea of humans! :p
