A Trip With Mom & Her Siblings...


It was my OFF day yesterday... Mama Yang had called in earlier just to drag us (my mom and me) to the Singapore Expo with her... There's this Halal International Food Convention along with The Great Robinson's Expo Sale... (Woo hoo!! Ni yang Cek suko ni...)


So being the "can't resist type of lady" when it comes to FOOD and great SALE, I called hubby to inform him that I'm gonna spend my day out with my mom and her siblings at the Singapore Expo...

We took a train there with Mama Yang and her daughter (cousin Yaya)... Mama Poi on the other hand, met up with us after work... Wak Wit, my uncle (being the usual "star-karat" he is) came in a little later (as in REALLY LATER) with his girlfriend, Maryani... (Baik ah Wak Wit!! Lain kali buat lagi k... Buat banyak2 pon tak pe... Kitorang saba menanti tapi geram di hati... lol)

[Note: "star-karat" means someone who likes to keep others waiting for him/her whenever there's a meet up]


There wasn't anything much in the Halal International Food Convention... The same old stuffs every year... As expected, food sold were quite expensive... Muslimah clothings and hijabs selling at a price way beyond what you people would think of... Puas hati pegi Johor borong barang2 ni sume... Seriously, the prices for the stuffs there were such a rip-off... Nak step ketok duit orang je whereby you could get the same stuffs outside for way much more cheaper... pfft...

My opinion about the Halal International Food Convention...

NOT WORTH going... Firstly, like I said earlier, the prices there, were such a RIP-OFF...
It's better to eat out in a restaurant than buying expensive little snacks that don't even fill your tummy. Perot aku maseh terase lapar la sei lepas penat berjalan...

And secondly, the place was so crampy... So many booths yet such narrow pathways for people to walk while shopping from booth to booth... Walking in a crampy place and having myself to push the babies around in a double stroller? Seriously, it was way to frustrating for me... Some of the people there, were just so uncivilised. I mean, come on la, please give way to those who brought their babies along in a stroller for God's sake!! I saw many mothers like me who got so frustrated with "kiasu typical pakciks and makciks" who don't even bother to let us have the priority of moving first!! Ape yang dorang nak step klam-kabot sangat pon aku tak tahu... I ended up leaving the place in a piss-off kind of mood...

My next opinion about the The Great Robinson's Expo Sale...

WORTH the "look-see-look-see" plus it's a "shop till you drop" kind of place... Moreover, the place was spacious... I could push the babies in the stroller freely and go anywhere I want without getting myself frustrated... People there just gave way to mothers like me who brought their babies along in a stroller...

There were quite a number of branded stuffs selling at a cut-throat price (wonder why would they still call it a sale) even after the price slash BUT if you're cunning enough and know a skill or two on budget shopping, I tell you, you could even get a blouse at a price as low as $10 bucks!!


So did I bought anything at the Robinson's Sale? Of course la!! Alamak!! Who could resist a SALE especially when you're a lady... Macam tak tahu je... Orang pompuan ni kan suke tempat2 mcm ni... Kalau bukan SALE, then MAKAN... Kalau bukan MAKAN, then SALE... Ni pon rase2 nye aku nak return balek kat tempat SALE tu sebab macam tak puas gitu kan... Tapi tak bole... Mesti nak kena control "nafsu shopping" aku ni... hee hee...

I took quite a lot of pictures thru out the entire trip... Making funny faces for the camera la... Got sabotaged with candid camera shots by Mama Poi and Wak Wit la... Baik ah!! Suke la tu buat "surprise shots"!! Abeh lepas tu kekek kan orang... You guys are gonna get it from me one of these days... Mark my words I tell ya... I'm gonna snap your pictures without you realising it!! mwahahahaha!!
