Bites Tale : Went out with my girlfriends last night. We are supposed to do some online shopping for Chinese New Year.. we thought we only need to provide the shipping address to send the things to London (my friend's bro) or to Singapore (my cousin) since they don't ship to Malaysia, everything was ok until the last part, where we need to enter the billing address.. turned out that the merchant don't accept credit card from Malaysia! Sigh... But we did had fun browsing the website last night! ;)
I seldom have the chance to get out of the house on Sunday mornings because i have a clean freak mum. Since everyone is busy with work on weekdays, Sundays has become the official "Cleaning Day" at home.
Luckily for me (so that i can have 1 day off from doing cleaning at home.. hehehe...), my uncle came back from Canada and he has some friends from UK who were also in town, so he asked my parents to bring them to see Proboscis monkeys and fire flies on 1 sunday. My mum has no choice but to "grant" us a day off from the weekly cleaning. She even brought us to this famous sunday market before meeting up with the others in town.
This sunday market is not only an attraction to the tourists but also to the locals... you could get about almost anything here from clothings, souvenirs, books, local delicacies, plants, pets etc. Not only that, i personally think this is also a place for you (the locals) to bump into your "long-time no see" friends. That's what happened to my mum, she met her kindergarden (pre-school) classmate! I wonder how they could recognise each other after more than 45 years!!!Anyway, these are some of the pics i took at the sunday market specially for those who hasn't been to the sunday market for a very long time (like me!) and those who are not from KK.

Pic : Can you see which one is not real?
