Chinese New Year is just round the corner. My dining table is already full of New Year Goodies as my mum has the tradition of giving New Year Goodies to relatives and thus we also receive a lot in return.
One day when I got home, I was stunned when I saw 5 cartons of oranges at home. Given that each carton has about 38 oranges, are we turning to selling oranges?? :) In a matter of days, they had disappeared though as my mum gave them away to relatives.
Given that there will be many people coming to my house, I decided to go with my mum to buy Drinks and whatever else that needed to be bought in NTUC yesterday night. I knew that NTUC has a free delivery service for purchase of over $150 and was thinking of using that service since we don't have a car. My colleague also told me his family recently used it for their New Year Shopping. Thus I was very happy when I piled our shopping cart with goods. Imagine not needing to lug the heavy shopping bags back home and just wait for them to arrive at home! Wow cool! :)
Our cart was soon filled to the brim with goods. We were queuing up at the cashier when I noticed there seems no display of the free delivery service at that NTUC outlet compared to others. Alas, upon checking with the cashier, this outlet unlike other outlets does not have free delivery service! Imagine my shock! Why does this outlet not have free delivery service when others have???
There was no way we could carry all the goods back especially since there were lots of drinks and other heavy items. My mum and I then worked on putting all the things back except for the essentials like fresh food. And of course, I had a good scolding from my mum. It is so funny though, one moment we were piling our carts with things and the other moment we were putting them back. What a day! It is fortunate though we discovered it before we pay else I will not be writing my blog entry now as my arms will have been sored. ;>
Happy CNY! :)
