Global Indian Shopping Fest 2007

Last saturday after work, I dropped by Mid Valley for the Global Indian Shopping Fest. Last year, it received a good reviews on the goods that were sold. So i decided to check it out this year. I was to meet my mom and sister there. Anyways, i was there at about 4pm. It was at the third flr...the exhibition centre.

It was so terribly crowded. I HATE crowd (or crowded places etc). I feel as if I'm gonna drown or swallowed, or more likely stepped on, stomped on, pushed about etc etc etc.We started going from booth to booth, looking at the clothings, costume jewelry and various items that were on sale. But sad to say, it was a rather dissappointing visit. The items were not that great and more expensive than that of the previous years. It was not worth it! Anyways, i just bought some bangles (and that was after my mom nagging to buy it for a wedding that's coming up on Sunday).

The only two consolation was probably (for me...the glorious Indian sweets), and the entertainment sequence that they had on for the day. The singers were not bad and the comedy acts were actually funny.

By the time we were done browsing all the booths and buying a couple of things, it was already 7.30pm. So we decided to have dinner before going home. We really liked the Book Cafe in MPH (when we went there previously). For bookies like me, that is the ideal place. So we decided to have our dinner there again. But the plus point about the Book Cafe is that the food is REALLY good. It is MOST definitely better than what we get here at the Black den. In fact, i think it could be as good as Starbucks, only without the branding. I would like to think of it as the unspoiled or unexploited (yet) cafe.

We got home about 9.30pm. I was tired (or rather my heels) because i did quite a bit of walking...not just in Mid Valley but also on the way there and during the way back home.
