christmas shopping already?
even before halloween, the stores here in singapore, especially in the shopping districts, have already been decked in christmas decorations. malls have been handing out flyers of their christmas programs and promotions and the papers are already replete of gift ideas and offers of jewelry, designer fashion, techie toys, digital cameras, toys, and all sorts of bric-a-bracs!
i don’t know about you, but i think it’s too soon, though. i know that christmas is coming, and that one has to start early to avoid the rush, but… this early? i don’t know, but for me, there’s just something missing…
hm, i think i actually enjoy the christmas rush after all. the throng of people in the shops, the sparkly shopping bags, the frantic search for that one special gift, the piped in christmas carols, the mad cacophony in the toy stores… that’s what christmas shopping is all about!

ugh! no matter how much i enjoy shopping (christmas or not)–the traffic in orchard and the gazillion people in the malls make me want to start shopping now with just the hundred thousand heads haha

go at 10 or 11 am on a weekday — the shops are almost empty! but, yung nga, it doesn’t feel christmassy, hehe….
actually i don’t mind the crowd, it’s the queueing up at the cashiers that sometimes gets on my nerves.

yes, the latter being the huge reason to fear the holiday shopping haha
mano naman kasing gamitin ang coconut shell (aka lagyan ng laman) at magdagdag ng extra cashiers di ba
