Shopping RaYa

15 September 2008, most happiest day in 2008 diary? Why? It's PAY DAY for all government officers and more so this year, they were given the 1st payment of a one month's bonus. So, this month they received half month bonus. Yahoooo.....that includes me, of course.

But b4 bonus day, thia and me, awal-awal lg dah serang SOGO! Sorry...terpaksa guna 'campurisation' of languages...kalau dulu istilah 'bahasa rojak' tp skrg x lg...we used 'campurisation' .....sounds better....ala-ala 'internationalisation' gitu...

We entered SOGO around 11.30 a.m. on Friday, 5th September. Oh my God! we were so surprised to see hundreds of early birds already flocking at the departmental stores especially at the Children's department. On our way up, we could see big crowds on the groundfloor macam semut mengurung gula gamaknye....kata org Perak. Furthermore, it was a PREVIEW day for SOGO card members and there was a big sale.

(Interlude: Thia tengah packing baju untuk bawa balik Cairo....cam xmuat je beg tu..)

My main intention was to buy baju raya for Hafiz n Zaim and to take advantage of the 70% discount tp yunno la thia...dia slalu 'tumpang semangkuk....she said for adik tp kalau beli untuk adik, kena beli untuk dia jugak....biaselah anak manja..as a mother, of course I won't let her down......After so much hassle, I managed to picked up few new shirts and pants for my two younger sons. The prices were quite reasonable....kira murah la jugak, then it was time to pay. Upon reaching the payment counter, we were taken aback coz the queue was so long and it would take us more than half an hour to reach the cashier. We decided to go to another counter but the situation is the same. What to do..queue ajer la..Halfway through, one lady staff asked us to go to the upper floor coz there were less people at that department. Alhamdulillah. We quickly rushed to the upper floor and get the payment done.

(Interlude: Thia pening kepala.....baju xmuat beg...lum lg nak isi botol kicap n cili sos ...)

When we left SOGO at about 4.30 p.m. (5 solid hours in SOGO!), people still keep coming in. Luckily, it was a working day. The next day, Anwar, my son told me that he and his wife, Aishah, could not enter SOGO at all!

This Hari Raya kira mewah sikit la berbelanje coz dpt bonus...tp arini bru 20hb.....duit bonus cam dah abis jerrr ......huhuhu...xpe janji anak-anak bahagia.

P/S: Kalau nak shopping kat SOGO masa sale, kena pegi subuh-subuh...tunggu depan pintu masuk.
