Hey yo!
Yesterday went to UIC Building, Vivo and Chinatown.
UIC building to ask abt a voucher given by the tour agency and get a Taiwan map from Taiwan Visitor Association.
After which, took bus to Vivocity.
On the way, we passed by the old railway station.
I was so excited over it.
1st time seeing it.
It looks like those railway seen in TV.
Haha.
Went Toys'R'Us to find a toy for our cousin's bday.
Didnt manage to find the right one.
Headed to Chinatown.
Went to OG to find the toy.
We bought the toy and a Hush Puppies polo for our cousin.
I bought a XL-size boys Hush Puppies blue polo for myself too!
Haha.
There were a few leaflets given by the cashier.
I just lumped them into the carrier bag without taking a look.
Headed to CK Departmental store to purchase insect repellent.
After which, headed to change currency.
While waiting, my sis looked at the leaflets and found that we can claim a FREE PEARL FROM OYSTER!
So we went after changing currency.
HOWEVER, after reaching, when we intended to just take the pearl and go,
The saleslady actually started SELLING us their pendant to go with the pearl.
Neither of us dares to reject and say, "It's ok, we'll just take the pearl only."
And hence, we bought the cheapest among the ones she promoted to us, which still costs us $39.90!
When paying, my sis then told me that we were only paying for the pendant.
I still thought a necklace chain was included.
WHAT THE?!
$39.90 for JUST A NORMAL PENDANT!
As if it was made from all diamond!
Dont mention diamond, It's not even crystal I think.
Moreover, $39.90 was a DISCOUNTED PRICE!
How ridiculous!
I should have reject her if I were to know that we were only paying for a pendant!
Not even a full necklace!
I still thought, "Aiya, nvm lar. Buy it for mother's bday present since it's only 1 mth+ away."
And my "it" is a full necklace, not just the pendant.
COSMOS PEARL & OG - I'LL REMEMBER YOU FOR THIS!
Another lucky point is that the cost is to be shared among we 4 siss.
Otherwise, COSMOS PEARL will be even more blacklisted by me.
This teached me a lesson.
THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH IN THE WORLD!
EVERYTHING INDEED COMES WITH A PRICE TO PAY!
Haha. =X
