Shopping in UK

Shopping in UK is never a good idea to spend your leisure time, is not a good shopping spot for the shopaholics either. But i still took some time to shop with my mum when she was here with me for the first month. Some of the items are consider cheap and quite a good bargain to buy it here and some are totally scare you away from buying it after looking at the price.
After spending 8 weeks of life in UK, what have i bought?

1)The most important one, to get my self a mobile and sim card in UK.
£29.99 ( mobile phone costs £19.99 + £10 of credit for my simcard) ~RM189
The phone i got was a simple one, sony ericson W200i with inly 256MB of memory.

2) Londsdale sport shoe. I bought it simply just because my mum was getting my two bros a new pair of shoes, and i wanted too.
£ 10 black leather shoe, consider very cheap liao. ~RM63
Buying sport shoes here is really o smart choice especially for those branded ones like nike or adidas, it is much much cheapier here. do you want me to get one for u???

3) of course i need to get my self a pillow and duvet cover la. i didnt bring it from msia as my luggage was fully packed with other stuff. I bought two here from ASDA ( a very big hypermarket in UK other than tesco), one for spare.
They cost £13.50 for 2sets. ~RM85

4) A pair of beach sandals. i didnt bring any sandal or slipper when i came as my aunt told me that it was very cold and nobody would ever wear sandal out. But i am getting myself one as the weather was turning better as now is the spring season. Spring in wales is just like weather in genting or cameron, very windy and nice.
£0.99, yup it only cost me 99pas i bought from the 99p shop as it is for children but it fits my size nicely. i think most of the asian can try to find their clothes and shoes in the children department if they cant find any in the men or ladies department.

4) A mini shinny bling bling purse for me to store coins. people in Uk use coins more common than notes. and this purse was only £1 but the key chain with the letter "J" was more expensive, it was £2. i bought it from portsmouth when i visited there with my uncle's family. ~RM18.90

5) A nike cap and a pair of gloves. I am not a pinky girl, pink is not my favourite but i bought these pink gloves and cap partly because they are cheap and i need them.
Cap £4.99 and it was made in Vietnam. ~RM31.40 at that time i finally understand why vietnam can produce cheap pirated nike jersey as the manufacturer is there.
Gloves £3.99 ~RM25.13
6) An umbrella that cost £99, i bought it at the same shop i bought the children's beach sandal. ~RM6.23
7) Body moisturizer, a very imporntant things to me as for the first few weeks when i was here, i developed snake scale skin due to the dry weather. as a result, i decided to buy myself some body lotion. i think this is the best and cheapest i can get. it was only £5.00, ~RM31.50


8) I am a bags collector as i like to collect bags. i would always change my bags and bringing different bags since my secondary school. i made up my mind to get a bag in uk as well and i chose this blue bag pack and i really like it a lot as i am bringing it everyday to the hospital. It was £8, ~RM50.4
My parents especially my dad would scold me if he see this post as i am spending money for shopping in UK... But i am spending it wisely after taking into the consideration that i really need them. I think i spent even more on transport fees, bus fares and train tickets. i would need to spend ~£9 per trip from my uncle's house to singleton hospital if my uncle is not working. further more, because of my toothache, i spent another £12 to do a dental check-up and i will have to pay £39 for the dental surgery to extract my tooth as there is abscess in my decayed wisdom tooth.
钱不是万能，没有钱万万不能。I am spending all my money just hoping to get more clinical experience and i think it's really worth it as i am gaining a lot. I shall share it in my next post.
