cheap small things

Today, i went to Cheng Huang Miao to look at those "small things" 小东西. It's been a while since i last went there to FuYou Road, 福佑门商厦. Before i had Joel, i sometimes like to take the bus down to take a look at stuffs and perhaps buy some small items for my GYS swaps. Cheap stationery, necklaces, ear-rings, hairclips etc... Everything there is 'Wholesale Price'! (Even if you dont buy in bulk, you can still get them at cheaper prices than regular shops)

Bus No. 932 is the only route i'm very sure of. It's a straight bus from my house to Cheng Huang Miao (last stop). To get home, i just need to wait at the same "terminal" (there's only this bus). People there stand in line too! Haha! Service No. 932 also comes very quickly (usually less than 3mins) and i can reach there within 15mins. Most of the time i will take a cab home becoz i'm too tired and/or have too many things to carry.

When i reached the bus stop, i checked to see if 932 still goes to CHM. It does. And it is still only ¥2. When i looked up, the bus was here! So i quickly flagged for it.

The bus wasnt crowded but there was no empty seat. So i stood near the back door. At the next stop, an aunty was about to alight, and she said, "Little Missy, beware of my boxes". She has 2 huge plastic storage boxes she just bought from the supermart. I was pleasantly surprised! She's so nice! (These boxes are very popular after winter coz everybody stores away their jackets and quilts)

I took her 1-seater and noticed some changes on the bus... The magazine is gone. Instead, the magazine pocket has some rubbish in it. The driver has a small screen showing the people alighting from the back door. There's TV Mobile. The LED screen also shows the temperature - 28˚C. It still shows the stops in Chinese & English...and the announcement too!

Along the way, i looked at the food stalls, street signs, handsome people, Times Square, Zara, the bright sun, old lane-houses, old couples looking so blissful, young children playing, bridal shops with funny-looking gowns... I really enjoyed the bus ride.

These are the small things i bought today...
Monchichi (not the real thing)

These are for myself.
Monchichi bag ¥12, mini Monchichi in pig costume ¥25, 21cm Monchichi ¥50 each

These 2 are for a friend.

And these other junk...
Dont ask me why i bought them.

Wanna show this mini hat! So cute! I couldnt decide which colour, so i bought both. 1 can give my sis Sandra. ¥18 only!

After i took the group shot, i found these still inside my bag! Haha!
