England Part 2 - Day 6 (Shopping spree at Oxford St)

So on Thursday i decided to have a shopping spree at Oxford St...since practically every shop is on sale...Chiew Sinn left earlier but i only got up about 930am...took a bus down to Angel and took the tube to Oxford Circus...Oxford Street must be one of the longest shopping street in the world...i spent some time in Debenham's since they were having their Blue Cross Sale...bought a white with black polka dot dress going for 12 pounds...and a green with while polka dot dress for 10 pounds...don't ask me what's the preoccupation with polka dots...i just happened to like the dresses and they are polka-dotted...

Had lunch at Subway...had a 3 pound 6-inch sandwich...dollar to dollar, eating in England is actually cheap...if only RM isn't so small...or better still, if only i'm earning in pounds...continued on with shopping at topshop...it was so crowded and everyone was grabbing at clothes as if they were for free...i didn't find much that i fancied and everything was pretty much in a mess...but i tried on a pair of shorts which was tagged at 7 pounds...and i thought it looked good on me...so i went to the cashier to pay...i was taking out my 10 pound note when the lady said, "3 pounds please"...i swallowed in amazement and took out a 5 pound note instead...i was thinking, "wah, means the other stuffs that are tagged at 10 or 15 pounds would be cheaper than that?" but i didn't want to risk it...hehe...

I was looking for the Primark at Oxford St and eventually found out that i had to go there from the Marble Arch station...so off i went...and i was amazed...pants, skirts, shirts retailing at 5 pounds...so i bought a pair of pants for 5 pounds, a shirt for 5 pounds, another pants for 10 pounds and a teddy suit for 4.50 pounds...the only minus point is that the queue for the changing room is just as long as the queue at the cashier...and they have almost 20 changing rooms...after that i went into this shop called Jane Norman and saw a long purple tie-dye dress going at 14.40 pounds...sold...also got a pair of white shorts for 10.50 pounds...

Met up with Chiew Sinn at King's Cross and went for dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant around there...there was a cute Portuguese server working there...anyway, we had some spicy Vietnamese noodles that tasted suspiciously like prawn mee...but the soup was pretty diluted...and the noodles were like laksa noodles...after dinner, we took the bus back to the apartment and i had to repack my bag to stuff in my loots...
