Tiring shopping day..

Its shopping day again and was waiting for sis at HMV Heeren. Browsed around for almost 1/2hr+ and ended up buying 3 CDs (2 for sis and one mine) at $7.95 each. There were a few older albums on sale at $4.95-$7.95 but when we realised its china version, we decided not to buy as Chinatown is selling these at ard $6 each for all titles.

Really shocked to see so many places selling china version CDs and at such a steep price. Now other than looking out for the round hologram sticker, pls make sure you read the back in small print where this CD is from (most of the time will say "Prohibited for sale outside China" or "Made and manufactured in China"). Not that you cun buy la, but no point coz the actual price is only like $3 if you buy in China and $6 if you buy it here. They actually marked up the prices so much and its not worth it. Furthermore, these are not legalised so if you really like the singer, buy original versions. If you just like to buy some for listening pleasures, go Chinatown, cheaper.

We went to Pasta Mania at Cineleisure for dinner and I actually did not finish my pasta!! I ordered Alfredo (cream sauce) and think its too much and got sick after a while. Shopped around Cineleisure for a while before we left for Centrepoint and OG Orchard. Walked by Robinsons 1st and surprised to see there's a cardmember preview sale going on. I dun remember receiving any mailers (or they sent too early until I forgotten??). Anyway nothing much at OG Orchard or Robinsons so we dragged our feet to take train home.

My legs were almost giving way by the time I reached home, really getting old...
