Petaling Street

Went out with ML this afternoon to do some grocery shopping. We went to Petaling Street aka 茨厂街 before proceed to our destination Mydin for some grocery shopping.

It is going to be CNY soon. The florists at Petaling Street sell lots of plum flowers (all fake and made with plastic or cloth la..). The decoration is nice too with a lot of red lanterns everywhere. Not forgetting the very bombastic CNY songs contributed by a shopping centre around there. (Hmm.. Is this called the CNY atmosphere?)

Petaling Street is also known as the Chinatown of Malaysia. It is always so congested with locals and also foreigners. It is full with stalls, shops and eateries. (Oh ya.. This reminds me of the Hokkien style fried noodles and ikan bakar which I once tried with Diana and SYi, and also the roasted pork fried noodles which Adeline bought on Thursday night. Yummie~~)

What can one expect here? Well, you can find stalls selling watches, clothes, bags, pens, shoes, VCD's, DVD's and a lot of branded stuff here, but all not original. So it is a great place to buy cheap but nice-looking stuff =p

It is a great experience to bargain with the stall owners. Some say the stall owners here are very fierce. If you bargain with them but do not anything at last, you will be scolded teruk-teruk by them. Well, I haven't experienced that before. For me, the stall owners there are actually quite friendly and very keen in doing business. Though they may be not well-educated, but they can speak really fluent English in very proper slang since they have to deal with many foreigners.

I bought two watches today. One for myself and one for my mum. Only RM10 each. Good buy, best buy, must buy!!!

Mydin is a wholesale storehouse. The things sold here are usually much more expensive if compared to those one can find in supermarkets or hypermarkets. I prefer to buy toiletries here as it provides great variaty of products with worthwhile price.

Mydin on Sunday is VERY congested. Crowds are everywhere and there are very long queue at the payment counters.

I bought conditioner, toothpaste, washing powder and detergent here. (Oh... I am buying all the stuff which make me just look like a housewife aka 师奶).

Back in MC in the evening. The weather is freaky hot! I was so tired and yawned MANY times on the bus. Luckily that no flies fly into my mouth =p

Did room cleaning after that. I like to see my room in clean and tidy state =)

Tomorrow is Monday again. Another week has begun. It will soon be CNY. Hmm... I have to arrange some time so that I can go back home for spring cleaning.
