OMG.....THAT EXPENSIVE?

Jon and I went out scouting for good bargains for a baby pram. NO...OOO, I'm not expecting! We want to bless this couple from our cell who are expecting a baby girl by probably middle of December. We were shocked to see that an average baby pram costs about RM600 - RM1000++. This much for a baby pram??? Even some "ceh kai" pram in term of its design costs about RM600++ (after discounted rate). We went practically every shops that sells baby prams. And each shop never failed to amaze us with the price offered.

We even went to Parkson to check out the price. It was slightly better than any other shops but still the price was nearly RM500. We thought of just buy it but then again it did not look like it costs RM500. I mean, have you ever bought something so expensive but it doesn't have that "expensive" look? Like, would you buy a real LV bag which will definately burn a big hole in your pocket when the same "original-look-alike" LV bag can be found in Chow Kit Road? I dunno about you guys, but I wouldn't.

After been walking like nearly an hour on my 2 1/2 inch shoes, I decided to give up when our last resort, was JUSCO. To our surprise, there were a few baby prams cost below RM400 and we bought one. The design was nice and it looks presentable than the other one we saw in Parkson or any other shops. We couldn't imagine any parents who would just fork out thousands of dollars just to buy a baby pram? We did came across a baby pram costs about nearly RM3500. Yup...ITS RM3500!! Must be mad to buy it. But, all in all, it was a fruitful day. Got ourselves a decent-looking baby pram and the price was OK.(I might say that it was still a bit pricey though for a baby pram)...Haha....Well, all I can say is that it is no joke to raise a child!
