CRAZY 'CROCS' SALE

Had a 'SUPER' tiring day today.... went for a CROCS warehouse sale with Piggy, Chicky and wife. It as quite a worth sale as it was up till 80% off BUT it was really a crazy experience. We went there earlier before it starts at 10am as advised by my colleague as she went yesterday and the Q was really really long. And today, it was EVEN LONGER.... The Q actually filled up the whole hall next door and it got longer and longer... some of them even came back for the SALE after buying a lot yesterday...

* This is how the Q look like at 9:30am and the beginning of the line is at the next hall's entrance... some people even packed food to sit down on the floor to eat while Q-ing...

* This is the situation during the SALE...
It got worst when more and more people are coming in... Everyone pushing each other and almost pushed the table off towards the salesperson. A kid almost got squashed... but rescued by the dad screaming at everyone to back off. Everyone was screaming for the sizes of the shoes and you can see shoes flying from one end... and people catching and snatching from the other end... but some end up with the wrong sizes. Hahaha... There's this 'Angmo' busy capturing video of the whole chaotic sale session. I didn't bring my camera so I end up taking picture with my HP and the quality ain't that good. They grabbed the shoes like it's FREE. Imagine if it's really free... I think people will be trampled to death and there will be injuries... kekeke...
* Some people sitting on the floor with the whole bag of shoes trying the sizes...
People there can be quite scary. We took a few pairs of different designs after squeezing our way in and out the crowd, to one little corner to try on the sizes and shortlist the ones we wanted to buy. When Chicky open his plastic bag (which everyone was given one to store their selected shoes), there's people coming over to put their hands in his bag. Chicky stared at them and tell them to backoff. When Piggy put down one pair on the floor to try out... people come over wanting to take that pair... Ain't that scary?!? Piggy quickly told them "It's MINE!" and "I want this!".... Hahaha... After shortlisting all the shoes, we throw the unwanted one in one bag and put it aside on the floor and people came over to the bag... like 'VULTURES'.... SCARY... Some people bought bags and bags of CROCS...
* Cute ya... the BIG CROCS on the guy's head... too bad they don't sell it... = )

* Piggy and Mrs. Chicky so HAPPY with their new crocs... some more with XMAS decor...

My mission there is to buy this 'CAPRI' which I really like but didn't buy coz expensive BUT end up buying other things... bought 2 pair of shoes for myself and 2 pairs for my mom. One black 'Celeste Suede' and one red 'Troika', which looks like Ronald Mcdonald's shoes... haha...
Now, everyone's happy with their CROCS. = )
*** Hmm... Piggy always say I'm a 'Shopaholic'... I think deep inside she's one also... Hahaha... And she got a PINK CROCS with Mickey design... I didn't influence her this time... =p
