我生平第一次打999。。。

29 March 2009

昨天帮妈妈买的衣服有问题，所以回到Metro换。脚好痛。一定是昨天在gym跑步的时候扭伤的。换了衣服，便马上到Hereen前面的巴士站等车。巴不得马上能到家。好热哦！太好了，荧光屏显示我的巴士还有5分钟就到了。

突然有个漂亮的妇女走过来对我说：“会讲中文吗？”我点了点头，以为她是迷路的中国游客。妇女说：“我的孩子不见了。他上了前面那辆巴士。但我没看清楚巴士的号码。你能帮我吗？”我一时傻住了。天啊，我自己也不知道该做什么。我打了给transit link求助。然后决定打给警察。拨999的时候紧张死了。我要跟警察说什么？这是我生平第一次打给警察嘞。警察让我们在巴士站等他们。妇女的眼眶红了。我拍拍她的肩膀，妇女哭了。为了安抚她，我问了她一些问题，帮她分心。原来是倍读妈妈。孩子8岁。刚到新加坡2星期。他们是苏州人。不愧苏州出美女。

两位警察终于到了，问了几个问题，打了几通电话。突然妇女的电话响了。原来是儿子打来的。儿子说有路人把他带回酒店。那是又两名警察来到现场。好多路人都看着了我们。好像呐喊，“我没有犯法。我是好人na!”

带着妇女找德士，我的脚好像不痛了。走得很快。看着妇女上了德士，我功成身退。走回巴士站等车。这时脚又痛了。。。

Metro Sale Survival Tips

28 March, 2009

Today is Metro sale from 6pm - 11pm. I have a few items to buy. My mom's clothings, my mom's shoes, Clarins cosmetics and Clinque skincare. Today's sale is slightly different there is an additional 10% discount on top of the usual 20% discount during sale. The cashier's queue has started at 5.30pm. Here's some survival tips that I have learnt.

1. Get a man to stand in the queue while you shop. By the time you're done shopping, it's your time to pay.

2. Decline having your cosmetics being placed at the cashier of your choice (Metro cosmetic section usually puts your chosen items at the cashier that you will be making your payment. They will give you a coupon to redeem your products.) During sale, the cashier usually turns up in a mess and the cashiers usually can't find your things. With your items in hand, you can choose the cashier will the shortest queue.

3. Don't queue at the cosmetics level. Try going to the women's clothings department or the men's department to pay. The queues are much shorter there.

I finish my shopping at 7pm. With 45min spent in the queue...

我回来了！

快要一个月了。我的柬埔寨4天3夜游的blog终于完成了。开始了blog才发现有好多人想到柬埔寨却不知从哪里开始计划。朋友和妹妹的朋友看了blog都觉得资料蛮仔细的。至少多数的重点都有了。突然有种想法。可能我可以做个travel journalist。帮杂志写travelogue。哈哈哈！想太多。。。

最近很容易疲累。连到gym的力气都没有。想到要运动就想睡觉。天啊！这样下去，我不肥死才怪。
