A trip to GM Plaza

I had lived in KL for  err.......17 years and yet I never knew that there was such a place in town! GM Plaza is not another shopping mall. It is a place where suppliers from PASAR MALAM buy their cheap stuff and sell it to us idiots at a cutthroat price!!!!! 
Seriously, The goods sold are way cheaper, except you have to buy them in bulk. There we are, standing in front of an 8 storey tall building near CHOW KIT. The shops are filled with shiny things, cloths, accessories, bags, shoes, watches, stuff, more stuff, and more shiny things. The place feels like a PASAR MALAM, except it is indoors and air conditioned. 

We(Pn. Azlina, Cik Azlina & Pn. Heng + Ida) used the Smart tunnel to Smartly escape from school. Why, you ask? Because of the DAMN National competition in Johor! We received the invitation only about two weeks before the competition.(GREAT!) We were also told that we have to set up a booth to compete with the others.(Huh?!) And some of the BODs gotta present the company profile and all the mess all over again like last year.(What?!) And all in MALAY!(Yay!!!!!!!!){Will elaborate on other posts}

You can imagine how hectic it was for all SoNNYBiZ Enterprise members. This feeling reminded me of the debate days. The mixed feeling of tension, excitement and fear. Due to lack of job delegation, or presumably, trust between the workforce, Ida & I were left with no choice but to go with the teachers to GM plaza to buy things to sell at our booth.

I felt that the pasar malam people had been earning heaps out of out pockets. The things are selling cheaper by almost 100%. The prices are cheap and the quality LOOKS good. There are a lot of jewllry shops that has the dazzling appearance that will cause your eyes to blink constantly and make you head spin. It is a gold rush for shoppaholics finding for cheap gold.

However, the trip was not as entertaining because while the teachers were hunting for stuff to be sold, our (Ida & I) were also searching, for FOOD! Sadly, this was what GM Plaza has to offer us.

All but no food.
We had our lunch at 3.30pm, with the Form 1 kids.
