Errr...what I meant is Raya shopping marathon. My oh my....my leg hurts..my feet sore and my head spins like spinning gasing!
uwaaaaaaa i'm getting migrain!!!!
-_____-
We went out quite early yesterday morning.
Mission : to shopped raya clothes for my nieces n nephews.
We headed to 1 U and it's seems fine....parking was easy ~ not so crowded...*ceh I thought i was the early one*...:P
The first shop we went, my niece n my sis took their own sweet time to browse n tried few clothes while the guys sat outside waiting for us patiently....After a while we then managed to buy few clothes and walked out happily. Then...
HomyGod...
°O°
We were in there for 45 mins...and suddenly whosssh it's like magic...there's more people! I soon realized that each and everyone of us had the same mission in our head...lol
and so the race begins......(¬_¬)
It's NOT easy to find clothes for kids especially when u'r dealing with teenagers. I remember 2-3 years back I can just go to either Parkson, Metrojaya or Jusco, bought them few clothes and they seems happy about it. No question asked.
Now...it's not even close to it...there are more branded stuff out there.
ZARA, MNG, FOREVER 21, TOPSHOP, MISS SELFRIDGE, CACHE-CACHE....etc...you name it... that's for the girl!!!!
As for the boys they go for more sporty brands like...NIKE, ADIDAS, FILA, CONVERSE, SKECHERS etc...
*i could hear clearly ka-ching..ka-chinnnngggg $$$*
Since they can't find everything in one place, we decided to continue our next mission.
: MID VALLEY! :
Btw we had a short trip to Bangsar boutiques @ Jln Telawi before we headed to MV *hub's waiting patiently...thanks darl!*
When we reached Mid Valley it's already 4pm. We thought we need to booked place for iftar. I was so shocked that all places were fully booked accept for Pizza Hut. They don't allow us to make reservation...first come first served...and thank god for that! The boys n girls continued to find their own stuff and by 5.30pm hubby decided to check out the Pizza Hut outlet ...boy o boy...he said that the queue was looooonng!
Not only at the restaurants, the most crowded spot certainly would be the cashier. The queue was damn long I tell ya! We had to put aside some of the clothes at the counter and asked the salesgirls to guarded our stuff with her own life....hahahaha *kidding*. We decided to come back after iftar and pay later. Meanwhile hubby managed to find spots for five of us at Pizza Hut *thanks again darl* Even my toes n feet are so thankful to him this time...hehe :D
After makan-ing, we took our stuff, paid...n' quickly had our final 'tawaf' until everyone agrees to 'cabut'. And it doesn't took us a long time to make those decision...15 mins! *by this time everyone seems 'pancit' already* haha :D
Before we reached home we went to pick up our made-to-order curtains at Nagoya @ Carrefour. The time is 10pm and the crowd just keep coming. Felt like its already raya the next day! I guess everyone is making their last minute shopping before heading back to their hometown next week.
Alhamdulillah after all the chaos we finally reached home by 11pm...and the happiest person would be my niece & nephew...but most of all is my hubby!
So that's the end of the 12 hours marathon...even though we're all tired...I'm glad everyone is happy. I'm sure everyone had their own funny experience n shopping stories. Are we gonna do this again next time?...well... YES...and because Raya is only once a year...every Muslims deserve to celebrate and be happy after fasting for one month.
Till then, stay strong...keep on going and fill up your nights with more ibadah. Raya is near...and this is for you. Have a great day ahead peeps!
