Went shopping today, the main aim was to get some scores, but I also wanted to see how the post-Christmas sales were going. It was really busy, the city centre was crawling with people! Who said Singaporeans are kiasu?? I think people all over the world love sales. Considering that it's a weekday, I was quite surprised to see such a crowd. It's not even a holiday or weekend. Maybe some people here don't have to work on 28 December. I saw that the library was closed, and Allegro Music was closed too! So much for wanting to get scores. Should have gone tomorrow instead.
I didn't go crazy buying lots of stuff though, I didn't really see things that I'd need or things that I liked enough to justify spending on. Some things were still quite expensive even after the supposed 70% or 50% off, these shops are definitely not where I'd normally go shopping in. I went CD-browsing in Virgin, a suicidal thing to do normally, but this time I didn't buy any CDs. Saw some things that I'd really like to have but I managed to control myself. Sighs. I'm going to go crazy buying CDs when I finally get back to Singapore in June... if the Tower Records classical section doesn't close down by then. Don't think it will la hor, Emz and KK and Gerald, you guys better keep patronising it! =P But I discovered that the Virgin store that I went browsing in has a bigger and better-stocked classical section (although a bit dusty) than the HMV in Bullring.
I ended up buying a pair of boots in the Indoor Market... where there was nothing on sale but it only cost me 10 pounds. Compared to 15 pounds onwards that I saw in some shops. Maybe I'm just not a good shopper, I don't really like to shop and I only go shopping when there's something I want to buy in mind. Like scores. Sighs, shall go back to Allegro Music again tomorrow, it's going to be open! Hope the city centre won't be that crowded anymore.
