What Recession??

Lunar New Year is just around the corner......in 2 weeks time.
Today being Sunday I was foolishly persuaded by the wife to go CNY shopping at Giant in Tampines. Reasons being cheap pricing ......but above all .....free parking.

Wow......BIG MISTAKE........
This is the second time that I have visited Giant since it opened ....it is indeed Gigantic............
Seems everyone else in Singapore have the same idea, leading to frantic search for car parking space, avoiding children & pedestrians in the car park.

But the "fun" begins once you are in the mall. Every one has a trolley (big size type). Navigating through the maze of human traffic plus trolleys and stopping to choose the stuff to buy will negate all touted benefits........nightmarishhhhhhhh......

At the end when you think the wife has enough, you still have to queue to pay for the stuff.
All in all....Big is not necessarily beautiful......it's better to shop at NTUC Fairprice in the heartlands
