Shopping Spree

*Post transferred from ammegan.tblog.com

I decided to repost this here. Since oh! I'm just too lazy to update this blog! Heh...

It's Chulalongkorn Day today and the nation is having a holiday! To avoid boredom, Hobbit and I decided to go out and enjoy the day! So we went to MBK and Siam Square to scout for Christmas gifts. Since we are going home this Christmas, it would be awkward arriving without any Christmas presents. Plus we have to attend several weddings and an engagement party and had invitations from lots and lots of relatives. This is expected for people like us who haven't been home for more than 2 years! So imagine how many gifts do we need to prepare?? Well, people say you "don't have to if you can't afford it" but still, I just have this habit of giving on occasion such as this!

Before I even started to shop, my shopping chum came and shopping just got faster and faster! Hobbit didn't went with us though, instead he went for a hair cut at his favorite saloon. As we walked along the narrow paths in Siam Square, I noticed a poster indicating small business for sale. When we checked it out, it was a CD kiosk and made me wonder, how in the world do these kind of businesses survive? With all the pirated ones selling out like hot cakes, do those O copies still sell? Anyway, we walked and shopped, walked and shopped. At the end, I ended up buying most of the things for myself! See, I knew this would happen. God help me...

Despite of all the walking and spending, my Chum and I (not forgetting Hobbit)enjoyed the day immensely and made a date for this coming Saturday night for more splurging! Hallelujah! :)
