Went to Johor yesterday for a shopping spree with my mum and her auntie friends. In case u are wondering why i chose to shop in JB since there is already the great singapore sales, the things in JB are cheaper and the food is nicer too. LOL. Anyway, we went to holiday plaza and The Store and i managed to bought myself 2 blouses and 1 shorts and some goceries.
i tried looking for the jacket and white blouse (for grad ceremony) but cant find one. Perhaps i may have gotten myself a jacket if im slimmer cos the sizes are so small. But it is also reasonable since most of the malaysians are rather peitite in size. Anyway, one of the shopkeeper even suggested i having one tailor made instead and he told me thats going to cost me RM300. Oh my god, its like 140 something sing dollars. I'm not going to spend so much on a jacket that i will only wear it once or twice. So i shall go for the $69 jacket from Dorathy Perkins.
After that, we went for dinner at tebrau hawker centre. Ordered about 9 dishes and including drinks, it only cost us around 100RM. Oh well, its only 40 something sing dollars for the 7 of us. Cheap rite. If im staying in woodlands and i drive a car, i will definetely go there often. Haha
Btw, i have been observing the passerbys when my mum is doing her shoppings. And this is wat i saw from the actions of Singaporeans and maybe tats how the Malaysians identify Singaporeans.
1) We like to say: "Aiyo so cheap leh.. Buy. Buy. this can buy wan".
2) We got the blur look or typical look on our faces.
3) We often load our trolleys with tonnes of chocolates and biscuits and groceries cos its cheaper there (normal malaysians wouldnt buy that much)
4) We tend to go for the chewing gums first in the supermarkets.
5) We tend to order a whole table of dishes but wouldnt finish all the food.
6) We tend to dress casually (shorts and T shirts)
7) We dont understand Malay so sometimes its like "duck talking to chicken"
However the above is only for laughter, dont take it too serious k. Hee
