Shopping at VivoCity

It is so boring staying at home. Just then, my aunt was looking for someone to accompany her to Vivocity yesterday to get some schoolshoes for my cousin, Jyn Rui using the voucher issued by her school. I agreed straightaway when she asked.

We went to look for the Bata store in Vivocity (as specified in the voucher), and we walked one big round around the mall... The store is located in a corner, and there is only one way to it. So inconvenient!!! After much picks and consideration, Jyn Rui got herself 2 pairs of schoolshoes, a pair of slippers and 2 pairs of socks. In total, $54.75! And my aunt had to fork out the balance $4.75 after using the voucher.

Jyu Rui's elder sister, Jyn Hua was hungry, so we went to Long John Silvers to grab a bite. Crying and wailing never failed to come out from Jyn Rui's mouth, she was like wanting to have everything in her possession once it falls in her sight. Food was not an exception. In the end, both sisters began their fight again. My aunt was so used to the scene and she completely ignored them! She only entertained them by coaxing Jyn Rui with a few sentences, and continued looking at the outdoor playground , where you can see lots of only-wearing-underpants-children running about and playing in the fountain.

We continued to shop around aimlessly, looking at wallets, bags, clothes, electronics and even groceries. Jyn Hua and me kept disturbing Jyn Rui, and as expected we made her cry a few times. There was a period when Jyn Rui started to pull my hand, wanting me to stay at her house for a day. Of course, is a no no. I still have activities the next day. She bothered me for around 30 minutes. My aunt said if Jyn Rui were to bother my brother instead, he would get fed up. Haha. I thought I should learn to be patient with kids. They are kids after all.

We came to the shopping mall with lesser people, the HarbourFront Centre. We came down to have our dinner at Food Junction since there were people in the MRT station issuing coupons, which allow us to enjoy food at their discount prices. Jyn Rui just can't have food without soft drinks, and my aunt has to always buy one for her. My cousin is really spolit.

Jyn Hua kept mumbling, indicating that she wished to have a new schoolbag. But her mum just wouldn't allow her to buy one, because her current one is still usable!!! We supposed to head to Zinc to just browse through their bags available, but the store is located at the far end of Vivocity. Terribly far from the only escalator which takes you down to the MRT station. Hence, we went home straightaway after our dinner.
