It’s Chinese New Year soon! There’s less than a week till my favorite holiday and here’s the little preparations that we’ve done. Yup, the title is a HIMYM reference. 🙂
I bought the Christmas tree Pandora charm for my dear – there’s a gold star one without glitter and a silver one with glitter and I asked her to choose which one she wanted, which turned out to be the second one.
We went for lunch at Goku Raku Ramen and while waiting for our food, she opened the small pouch wrapper and I put it onto her Pandora charms bracelet.
It’s another new charm to add to our story! I missed both the RM 50 voucher *and* the 40% discount promo but it’s all good.
I had the Hot Katsu Curry Rice (RM 25.90) which was a 20 minute wait. It didn’t taste all that good – the creamy Japanese style curry is overpowering but the fried chicken itself it alright. I didn’t manage to finish it though.
She had the Ultimate Tonkotsu (RM 23.90) and the Yuzu Honey (RM 6.90) drink.
I had to get another external HDD on account of the massive amounts of stuff I’m collecting so I found a 2 TB one for sale at Harvey Norman’s (which is actually an Australian company, I still remember their radio jingle from 3AW when I was studying in Melbourne) for RM 459.
We also saw a line of Sous Vide Supreme appliances for sale with the MasterChef US Season 1 winner being the product ambassador! I thought she did Southern cooking and don’t remember seeing her even touch the sous vide water bath in any of the episodes but it’s not as expensive as I thought – 3k for the water bath and vacuum sealer.
My dear was kind enough to buy me some CNY clothes! I now have two new shirts courtesy of her. <3
I got some interesting vitamin gummy bears for the kids…
…and we saw that the mall has a free exclusive cushion and ang pow packets when you spend RM 188 in a maximum of 2 receipts. We were thinking to get something to add to the clothes when I suddenly remembered that I *already* have spent that much on the external HDD (RM 459)!
My dear also thought of the Pandora charm, which I totally forgot about (RM 211) so we managed to get two sets of the cushions and the ang pows (red packets). I thought that was quite funny, how to add on to the stuff we’ve spent when we already have bought more than that earlier.
Gotta do some last minute CNY shopping for snacks this weekend before I go back to Sibu! 🙂
Hmmm…. I suspect that Pandora really charmed your dear with love! I wanna buy one for my dear too.
Happy shopping HB.
Thanks mate! 🙂
Yeah, I have come to really like the Pandora charms too! Haha.
Happy shopping to you and your family too! Only a couple of days left till CNY!
that’s a fun mall outing! it reminds me that most of my mall trips these days are for very specific reasons: eat at a place, or watch a movie, or buy one particular item, but i don’t really walk around and take advantage of everything the mall has to offer any more. and heh, i want the vitamin gummy bears too! 😀
Yeah, ours too! 🙂
It’s always going to the mall for a specific reason e.g. getting groceries or purchasing a food processor. We haven’t been to the mall just to chill for quite a long time and it was fun to do so coz we did that early on, once and it was quite fun.
Haha! Yeah, I think those vitamin gummy bears would taste nice too!
A real shopping spree! Got free gifts some more…. add some consolation to the money spent… Happy CNY to both of you and the kids!
Yeah, we thought we had to buy more to qualify somemore! 🙂
Forgot about the RM 459 HDD and the Pandora charm that qualifies us for two already. It’s just a promo cushion and ang pow but good to have the ang pows.
Thanks for that Reana! Happy CNY to you and your family too! 😀
I bought myself one polo shirt only so far, shall look for some in this weekend but i’m not that particular on that haha. Happy Shopping for the two of you 😀
You’re like me mate! 🙂
Haha! I’m not very particular about getting clothes too – I’ll just get it whenever. One time I didn’t even buy any new clothes for CNY and another time I just went and got it for the sake of it. However, I like the UNIQLO clothes this year.
So what did you get for me? Wink! Wink! 😀
I got you some pork floss! 🙂
Haha! It was good, we tried it at Sunway Giza where they were selling CNY stuff and I got a couple to bring back.
Get one for me too… 😛
Have a safe trip back to Sibu!!
Thanks mate! 🙂
Haha! I only buy Pandora charm for my dear! I did bring back pork floss though!
i only managed to get myself a dress for CNY! *facepalm*
That’s great! 🙂
At least you have something! I bought a dress for my dear too! We were out shopping at Pavilion, KL this time and went around the shops there to get something for CNY for her!
You have such good taste for a guy! LOL. I’d trust you with my shopping anyday 😛
Haha! Well, it’s hard to go wrong with corduroy. 😉
I didn’t get her any clothes here though, there’s nothing that she liked. We went out again to Pavilion to get her clothes.
