A trip to Giant

To most people.. it’s juz another routine trip to Giant to get their monthly groceries…

But to me.. at least to me... it’s a memorable one.. =)

After dinner, as usual.. me & Sasa chatted at the sink while doing our routine post-dinner clean up. Then I asked her.. “Wanna follow me go Giant?” (normally I would expect her answer to be NO, as she doesn’t like going there.. no nice clothes to see I supposed.. haha.. ) but this time, she said “Yes!”, cuz she is so FREE, nothing to do oso.. hahaha…

So, after clean up, off we go to Giant. I have a few items scribbled on a small piece of paper – my shopping list.. hehe…

When we reached there, I juz picked up a basket and off we go to the location for my 1st item on the list. As I put in items into the basket, I started complaining..

Me : Wah! So heavy…
Sasa : Who ask u sooooo stup**? Should have taken the trolly mah! No need carry.. push only…(followed by a big grin and chuckle… )
Me : Ya hor… never tot of that.. initially I tot we’re juz gonna get a few items.. never tot it wud be so heavy mah… hmmm…. Now I know how it felt to be getting groceries every month…


Believe it or not… I seldom visit Giant on my own.. unless there’s something I intend to buy. The other trips were with mum where she will get the groceries and me pushing the trolley…

But this time, I suddenly offered to do this groceries shopping… and the feeling was good! Felt like I’m contributing more to the family I supposed? Hehe…

Almost done with shopping.. and the basket was so heavy! I complain all the way to the cashier.. and of course have to bear with Sasa’s non-stop teasing cuz of this.. but it was fun! I enjoyed it!

The bill came up to quite a big amount.. tho we got only a few items.. but the price tag to these items weren’t from the lower price range..

So… tat’s what grocery shopping is all about!

And when we carried the stuffs to my car..

Me : I hope mum won’t complain I never did any grocery shopping for the family
Sasa : Oooh.. now I know why u suddenly wanted to come Giant.. u wanna keep her mouth shut eh? So that she won’t bug u about this… Hehehehe….

Hmm… she’s quite right tho.. hahaha… But I guess for me.. It’s something which I know I should start doing… at least for the family….

Another good start to the new year… *smile*
