Meeting with Mr Money Squander

I went out with Pok Yen to Chinatown yesterday. No! Of course he is not the money squander guy! I was referring to another guy we were meeting with. He is none another than Mr Tan Chee Boon.

First stop, we went to look around in the old mall that is opposite OG complex (It should be The Majestic if I'm not wrong...). We then stumbled upon a promoter selling a small vacuum cleaner with a powerful suction. Pok yen and I ignored and went into the Emporium which sells Taiwanese Snacks for a walk. Mr Tan continued to listen to the Promoter...

Next, Pok Yen went to have lunch at KFC. Both Mr Tan and me did not eat since we both had lunch before we came. When we sat down and chat, the 2 of them were talking about the plan of going Taiwan together. After the meal, Pok Yen and I spent around half an hour standing outside a jewellery store just beside KFC, because Mr Tan went in and take a look, no it should be "many looks" on those jewels...

We went up a level to find Mr Tan's friend who works in a Travel Agency to check on the rates for their Taiwan tour. It is quite interesting to find the air ticket rates change so quickly. Well, it is first time for me, who never travelled to other countries for holidays before, to hear such things (The Shandong Trip is not counted since it was an Educational Tour).

I followed the 2 guys to the Chinatown Market to look for cheap CDs. When I said cheap, it does not mean that the CDs are imported from China, I meant Taiwan Version CDs sold at a lower price than those seen in CD shops in shopping malls. I think is more worth it to buy CDs there since they offer the same things at lower price, so why not? But of course, the selections are not that great. It is just a small stall after all. Mr Tan bought 2 CDs.

Mr Tan treated us to a bowl of Chendol from a rather famous stall. It was nice as it is not too sweet. We continued walking along the street and ate the German Smoked Pork Sausages, it is also highly recommended by the media, but I do not think is very delicious...

We landed ourselves outside one of the CK department stores in Chinatown. (*Note: There are around 3 CK stores in the same area...) We went in for a small air-con breeze since the weather is so hot... Before that, Mr Tan bought another CD outside the store... When we went down to the Basement, there are lots of facial care products at the entrance, so we took a look and used the testers, like a bunch of aunties... Then, the promoter came down and she managed to convince Mr Tan to buy the Bio-Essence Products... Well, actually you no need to convince him, a simple promotion to your product will do. Haha. The promoter also gave Pok Yen and I some samples after he bought his stuff.

It was around 6.15pm when we sat down for our dinner. We waited exactly 45 minutes for our dinner. We are waiting for the Famous Claypot Rice, and it is worth waiting for it! Anyway, we are already half-full before we ordered it, so we used the waiting time for the food to digest. At that time, Mr Tan tried to psycho me to join them for the Taiwan Trip. I was attempted but I really do not have the money for it. My heart was also shakened when Pok Yen told me the reason for him to go on the trip. Sigh...

The fragrance Claypot Rice was finally served to our table at 7pm sharp. Man, they are really good at estimating time! The shop owner told us we need to wait for 45 minutes when we placed our order. After a satisfying dinner, we needed to pass through The Majestic again to take MRT. That is when Mr Tan went back to the Vacuum Cleaner Promoter and purchased it. Pok Yen and I were speechless and have no words to describe him anymore... He also bought the "carpet" for his Mahjong Table (I don't really know the term used).

Once again, Mr Tan's hands are full of shopping bags. I wondered why he bought so much stuff when he admitted himself that he doesn't really used the things he bought...
