It is crazy at The Ikano Power Centre...all because of the Ikea Sales and public holiday tomorrow.
I usually will never join the crowd during sales, walking through the packed Ikea, just passing human traffic can be another nightmare after surviving the congestion on the road. But since I had to kill 2 hours waiting for the children, I have one good hour for grocery shopping, walking to unload the barang - barang into the car. You know the trolley system at Ikano...trolley are not allowed to be pushed to the car.
But I think I was very lucky, car park was full...and the guard open up for me to enter...and next I found a parking right next to the exit. I had to load the stuff into the car, walk a few times back and forth ! Nevermind la, it is a good work out and weight lifting......lol !
The balance 30 mins, I decided to join the Ikea sales fan. I walked pass the cafe...OMG, the queue was so long just for the curry puff / Hot dog or ice cream ! I will skip for sure, I rather go hungry or eat something else especially when it is so crowded.
So I made my way straight to the candle section, along the way browsing very quickly on other items. Can't really find what I wanted, also there isn't any great item on sale...also, the thought of paying at the cashier.....I will not buy !! So, as I walked my way out, I continue to browse but also observed the shoppers. They came as a family, a group or a couple......and not many single person like me....lol. I also noticed one couple showing black face....must be different opinions :(
And I realised walking alone is no longer strange to me ! In fact, I walked a lot faster than others......I managed to check out other shops and bought what I wanted. Three shops that I went in...just to look see and ask about new products, people has been friendly and helpful. They have made my swift shopping a good one !
And I bought a teddy bear for myself..it is called The Bedtime Bear ~ my new companion on the bed !
Overall...crazy afternoon but still a good one :-)
