Was in church half of the day today... and after church, I went CNY "shopping" with aunt, uncle and younger Brat-meimei.. over at Bedok Sheng Shiong... Gosh.. CNY is just 2 weeks away la.. super cannot believe it...and well..dun really have the cny feel this year.. no kuehs at home.. cos we didnt really stock up on that yet.. Aunt's busy at work..and well we used to have Mama around to do all the CNY shopping and preparation..
Usually at this time... Mama would be "nagging" at us for money... to get all the new year goodies and stuffs.... and I am really missing her this new year... Anywayz, we bought flowers for mama at Sheng Shiong, took some time to actually choose flowers for her...will be dropping by soon to 'visit' her at Mandai..
Well.. back at Sheng Shiong.. I observed... usually when out shopping with aunt and uncle.. we will take wat we wanna buy (usually just 1 or 2 packs of cheaps etc) and then we went to the counter..well they foot the bill..
I realised... shopping isnt cheap la.. everything seems "cheap" but when it all adds up.. gosh.. that few items actually cost super alot la... and well.. scary manz.. in time to come..in year(s) i might be doing such shopping..and seriously.. must start learning to do budgeting.. thinking for family...
and yupz... wasnt an easy task for my aunt and uncle.. looking after a family of soo many people..(gramps, bro, sis, my cousins and me even) and i am truly thankful to them for having done so..and dun think i can ever repay them...
