Wah! Just came back from MPH sales. Had a great time.
it wasn't crowded at all. Don't have to queue to pay at all.
Loads of good buy for me.
But i do wish they can provide either a trolley or a stroller bag. -
I went to mph sales too, plenty of books for the upper Pri n teens. Prices are reasonable too , most of the children books are price at 5 for $20 better than Times.

I went this morning. Indeed very little baby books.
Have to mention about this - it happened in the fair. A boy, around 3-4 yr old, was coughing very badly. The mum was nearby. I was behind them, grumbling silently - not feeling well don't come la, cough until like that still come. Come fair no need so die hard la, no time to tell your son cover mouth ar... Spread happiness but don't spread germ la!
The boy was really coughing very badly, non stop for more than 5min. Then, suddenly I heard a \"urgg\" ( the vomiting noise one makes). The next thing I heard, the mum started lecturing the kid,\"aiyoh.... U cough till like that\" I was like, you mean you doono your son cough until like that?! You so busy searching for books that you cannot hear ar!?\"
I turned around, just in time to see the boy merlion into their box of books. Then the ranting (from mom) began. She raised her voice at the boy, saying ask you not to run la....\" but the thing was, I didn't see the boy run. All she was doing, beside scolding the boy, was cleaning herself and staring into the box of books and regurgitation.
Then the hubby came. The hubby equally lost, stared from wife, to son to box. I buay than, quickly gave the husband two pieces of tissue to clean the books and one piece to the poor boy to clean himself. At least the hubby showed appreciation, he said thanks. The wife? She ignored me totally like it was my fault. Haiz....Want to cheong fair, I perfectly understand. But gotta keep an eye on the kids also mah... :slapshead:
