MegaSales ??

I had this thought in my mind to buy certain stuffs earlier on in the morning prior to going to church. But who knows after the church service, I only remembered wanting to buy something from the bookstore but can't recall what issit about.. Hahhaha... cham, failing memories.. But normally I won't force myself to recall , cos most of the time this won't work. Just let it be, and the idea will pop up automatically by itself later on.. If I force myself to recall what is it about, most of the time I won't be able to recall and at the end I will get frustrated. And my hypothesis was proven to be correct, in less than half an hour time, I remembered what I wanted to buy :)

One interesting thing I noticed was ... Unker Ho's DVDs were on sales too during this megasales shopping carnival. Surprised? 3 DVD-9 for RM 10. (Wow, that's cheap). I didn't buy any cos I came here for other things. Normally I won't deviate to buy things that I didn't plan to buy earlier on. Another interesting thing that I noticed was while having late lunch (around 2 pm) at McD (located next to the DVD outlets), I noticed all the DVD shopkeepers closing their outlets in split of seconds. Wow... I guess they received "news" that officers are coming to raid their places soon :) In less than one minute, all the dvd outlets were closed. Indeed very efficient :D

Another interesting stuff that I noticed when I passed by Popular bookstore was the long queues at the cashier counters. First time I saw such a long queue inside Popular bookstore. No wonder lah.. they were having Closure & Shifting Out Sales.. The books were sold at dirt cheap prices. with discount from 10% to 90%. That's why.. No wonder. Looking at the long queues, mmmm.... I decided not to join in the crowds. Somehow, I dislike going to crowded places. Dunnolah, I felt suffocated in places with huge crowds. Blame it on lack of oxygen :D

I get all the other stuffs that I wanted. Well, most of the stuffs I bought today were not actually on sales. And now..... I'm few hundred bucks poorer :(

plink,
The chup-chup spirit :)

Some of the things they purposely marked up the price and then put the tag cheap sales up to xxx%.. cheating huh? :P

Some of the books only are sold off at 90% discount. The newer books are sold at 10 to 30% discount. But still it is cheaper :) Only at this particular outlet which is going to close down soon :D

Wah.. if ipod and McBook offer up to 90% discount.. LOL.. I guess that will only happen in our dreams :P

day-dreamer said...

I always feel pretty bad after spending $$ during shopping... because after all, that $$ is not mine.

O_O

Chen said...

day dreamer,
Good to know that u have the feel bad feelings, and u won't simply spend the $$$, not like those who swing their parents' money like nobody business or those who take things for granted :)

i buy only what i need nowadays ... so that i can avoid the crowd

Chen said...

SA,
what an experience :)

I scared to go to shopping malls or places with huge crowds too. That's why I never go during the first few days of carnival mega sales to avoid the crowds :D

Suffocating ;)

slurps,
I agree with you. Buy what we need and don't "overspend" unnecessarily :)
