The NILAI 3 experience..

Yesterday, I went to Nilai 3 with my family..what a mistake that was!..

The place was humongous and the entire area was about ~what else~ CLOTHES!!..

I never seen so many clothes (i.e. any type of fabric) in my LIFE!!..

For me, all the clothes does look the same, but that ain't the case with the "ladies" that I went with. They can scrutinize each cloth to every minute detail as possible and make detailed comparison of each cloth they look at. Hats off to them, 'coz they have Photographic Memory ~hehe~ that helped them to make the comparison.

Another "terror" that I uncovered yesterday was, how "brutal" the ladies can get when it comes to bargaining on price. This is how the conversation will go (more or less, hehe):

C:Boss..ini kain berapa harga?

S:Ini kain kita jual RM 80 kak..Kakak punya pasal kita kasi 60 saja la..

C:60?!..manyak mahal la itu macam!..kasi kurang lagi la..RM 50 sudah la..

S:50 tak boleh la akak..kita boleh tutup kedai itu macam..saya kasi 58 la kak..

C:..~the ladies discuss among themself~..mahal lg la boss..kasi kurang lagi la,kita datang dari jauh ma ~now they speak as if speaking with Chinese seller,hehe~..duit minyak kereta pun banyak tau..

S:Itu sudah best price la akak..Saya sudah kasi banyak morah la kak..saya pun dapat untung sikit saja..

C: Kasi 50 sudah la boss..kita u kasi murah orang lain u kasi harga biasa la ~conniving ain't it?hehe~..

.....the same type of conversation goes for about 10 mins, meanwhile I was standing like a pak pacak looking at what was going on...Finally..

S: Ok la kak..saya kasi last price 52..ini pun sudah banyak murah kak..

C:kasi 50 la boss..2 ringgit kasi duit minum la..boleh la boss..

S:...Hmmmm ~seriously,it was the longest humm I ever heard~..OK la,OK la!..akak saya kasi 50 la..OK la,OK la..

C: ~triumphtantly~..itu macam la boss..lain kali kita datang lagi shopping kat kedai u..

S:..takpa kak, lain kali kasi pegi kedai lain la kak..u datang slalu kita boleh tutup kedai itu macam..

...That conversation was just to buy one type of cloth!..and the same type goes on for every shop that we visited and I was there as pak pacak  again and again..Seriously, the trip was a true test of one's stamina and fitness including mental fitness. Again, I had to bow out to the Ladies 'coz they outlast, outplay and outwitted me ~hehe~..

...note to myself..never go on another crazy shopping trip with ladies, no matter how attractive it sounds..
