Family Outing in a Christmas Environment ⛄❄️🎄

Hello everyone 👧.

In spite of my sore leg from exercising in the morning, I still have to go to the nearby shopping mall to complete two checklists related to work. Initially, I intended to complete my checklist with @butwo and have our dates at the same time. My Mum wants to join us on our dates along with my Sister who wants to do some shopping in the same mall that we went to. Thus, the four of us end up having a family outing.

Several shopping malls held year-end sales in December, including ITCC shopping mall in Penampang, Sabah. Many people came to this shopping mall which caused us to spend almost 15 minutes looking for parking around the shopping mall parking lots.

We split into two teams after entering this mall. @butwo and I are going to my desired destination to complete my checklist. My Mum and Sister will go shopping separately from us.

We only took a short time to complete my checklist. I contacted my Sister through phone call to ask where my Mum and Sister were so we could join them to do shopping together. Before looking for them, we gave a tip to this sweet-voiced busker.

My Mum and Sister were doing their shopping in this crowded shop. @butwo and I just waited outside for them.

This young boy caught my interest. As his mother handled his sibling in the baby stroller, he treated his dino-toy the same way. I think his mother bought this dino-toy from this crowded shop.

I'm bored waiting for them to finish their shopping. @butwo and I walked to the Pink House to make some risky investments for fun. I successfully got a doll from the machine for only RM4.00. I successfully caught many of these dolls in prior years, but this year is the first time. As a memory of the year, @butwo took my picture with the doll I caught.

When we left the Pink House, my Mum and Sister were lining up to pay for the Christmas decorations they bought at the counter.

This year, my house Christmas tree is going to be in a white and pink theme. The colour of Christmas decorations matched with my hello kitty pink dress doll that I caught just now.

Afterward, the four of us did window shopping together at many shops in the mall. The Santa Claus T-shirt caught our attention. The Santa Claus picture on the T-shirt was very swag and cute. We bought these red T-shirts. We will wear it during the Christmas festivities around 25 December.

My Mum always forgot to take a rest when she focused on something she was passionate about, including shopping. My Sister asked me to persuade my Mum to take a break in a cafe because she always hears what I'm saying among the family members.

We had beverages including milk cendol with red beans for my Mum during our break in a cafe. As a snack, we had curry fish balls. We continued our window shopping after finished our refreshment in this cafe.

Interestingly, a new shop opened on the same day we did our shopping here. The shop sells various types of imported goods mostly from China and Taiwan.

I remind my family members that we should spend only RM50.00 in this newly opened shop. We selected instant noodles and snacks for our purchase. Based on our purchase, all the goods we bought cost us RM67.00. Nevermind, I just paid for it.

Next shopping destination, a not super save shop or in another word known as dangerous shop for our wallet 💸. I'm not going to enter this shop as I don't have anything to buy here. My Mum and Sister are the only ones entering this not super-save shop to buy Christmas decorations for my house. @butwo accompany me outside this shop to wait for them.

Many young customers were attracted to the Christmas decorations. At the time @butwo and I were waiting outside, many parents were taking pictures of their children with these decorations. Moreover, we saw children screaming and crying because they did not want to part with these decorations. Parents have to take or pull their child away to another location.

Although my Mum and Sister only bought a few things inside this not super save shop, they ended up staying inside for a long time. During my wait with @butwo outside the shop, I had to find a wall to lay on for resting my sore legs. I walked and stand a lot from morning until night on this Saturday.

Our last destination in this mall was having dinner together. A Christmas tree was displayed next to the restaurant that we have our dinner. I think this is the prettiest Christmas tree that I have seen in this mall. I admired it while we waited for our food to be delivered to our table.

Despite being very tired from the day, I stayed up watching World Cup matches until 5:00 am the next day. 😪📺⚽

Here is my house Christmas tree and also a favourite spot for my dog, Uku Chan to sleep or rest near the tree.

That's all. Thanks for reading my post 🤗.
