Food Fair at Expo - May '08

The legendary food fair has hit Expo yet again. Judging from the unbelievably huge crowd, our country's rate of population growth is on the high end (not sure if this is healthy or not).

Yesterday (altho it's just a Monday, the worst weekday cos it marks the start of a new week!) was horrible. The place was freaking packed!!!

All I saw and sensed were eagerness + kiasuness + craziness (3-in-1) in everyone's eyes.

People snatching food samples, queueing for you-know-what, debating with themselves whether to buy 10 packets of 3-in-1 kopi-o cos it's cheaper to buy in bulks, and so on. *tsk tsk*

I drove there with my mum and aunt, who is also XY's mummy (*winkz to XY*). at around evening time. Had a tough time finding a parking lot, and when I did, it was so very far away from the hall, which I regretted it (I'd tell you why later).

And so, the pushing (and swearing to myself) began.

Honestly, I wasn't in the best of mood cos I didnt sleep a wink at all after the chalet. So I didnt have any appetite nor mood to buy anything. Plus the number of aunties around me totally spoilt everything.

But it was a pleasure to shop with my companions. Especially my aunt. *hahah*

Man, she REALLY can buy. I thought I was a crazy shopper (the bkk trip was proof), but I am thoroughly defeated by this woman.

The most exciting moment was when I finally get to witness her buying ability. It was amusingly scary.

Even my mum had to kowtow to her. *haha!*

Together, they bought so much that it was hard for them to continue to shop due to all the bulging and overloaded bags.

As I had enough of the crowd, I offered to take their stuff back to the car, thinking that I could enjoy the aircon and listen to 933 while I wait for them to continue their shopping.

That was the bravest thing I have ever done so far - I had to brace through shocked and unbelievable looks from strangers as they passed me. I was carrying, what, 20 shopping bags?!?!

Not to mention the weight of their purchases. I seriously hoped that XY was there with me - at least there was someone to share the burden with! *hehs*

I've finally made it to the car, and after SOME time, they were back. WITH MORE BAGS. *lolz*

We drove back to my aunt's place, and my mum had to help her take her prized possessions up. Super hilarious.

And that's just yesterday.

Today, me and momsie went back to the food fair again. *hahah!*

This time round, the crowd was not as terrible as last night cos we went in the afternoon. But I still got kicked and pushed by irritating people! So rude, right!!!

But apart from that, I pretty much enjoyed myself.

If given a chance, I would want to go with my aunt again, cos it's fun watching her buy things... *hahah*.

But, LXY! You better come with us, aye!
