Shopping for My Mother’s Day

I purposely made an excuse to bring 3 of my nephews to watch Spider Man 3. But the major intention is because they wanna buy a gift to their mom (which is my sister) and I wanna get something for my mom too.

FYI, They are all too young to go shopping alone, as they are only 13, 12 and 8 years old. But I am glad that they are all mature enough for wanted to grab something for their mom. So our mission is on at Saturday night.

I bought the ticket for 9.30pm show and they finished their tuition class by 6pm. So we got enough time to wander around 1 utama. We started to invade Parkson U for some women’s jewelry or cosmetic, but unfortunately been back off due to the budget limitation. Then we move forward to florist, but failed to acquire any also because my sister will buy flower every year. So we decided not to follow the same tricks. We want surprise and suitable for both mothers. So decided to go for SK-II cleanser/moisturizer cream for grandma, and treatment mask for my nephew’s mama.

Upon reaching Jusco cosmetic department, No. 2 (the nickname I gave to all 3 of them by following the sequence... haha…) spotted the SK-II counter. He came back to me with the info he gathered, where the gift set cost RM400+. At that point of time I am thinking it’s ok, because I don’t really looking in to complete set but to buy it individually. (Thought cheaper ma). So we approach the counter to check price. But we are all frighten and retreated at least 3 feet away from the counter after knowing the prices.

Incredibly expensive! Cleanser around 150, Mask around 250 and moisturize cream around 350!! Although they are young, but all of us got frighten off with the sky-high price. At last, we ended up with empty handed but having simple BBQ at home cause my sister bought the ingredient.

Sigh, what a looser in mother’s day. But I hope my lesson will reflect good examples to others husband/boyfriend/son reader out there also >>> think twice before you walk into women cosmetic department.
