My Very Cute PetFriends

Man always say : Women will go all out to find or to get something that are "FREE" but actually its not that free after all the trouble.

I'll tell you why this remark is true!

This Glass Bakeware is FREE if you exchange with 20 Bonus coupons from Fairprice.

At first, I wanted to throw away those coupons that I have, thinking that I always can't make it! Then my mum's friend gave me all her reminding coupons and she have about 11 coupons and my boss also gave me some of hers, when I counted "Wow! I've 25 coupons! I can exchange for the FREE 1.5Ltr Casserole with cover!" So happy, 1st time have enough coupons for FREE items. Went all the way to Toa Payoh to exchange, they said out of stock, ok! another day then. Next day, gone down to Kallang thinking that maybe got better luck but they also out of stock. Then come Thursday my ½day - off day, told my friend to drive me around Whole Singapore to find it!


My adventure starts here:
1st stop: Thomson Plaza (had my lunch there), 2nd stop: Bishan St 11, 3rd stop: Bishan St 13, 4th stop: Serangoon North Ave 1, 5th stop: Hougang Ave 10, 6th stop: Hougang Ave 4 and told myself this is the last stop if still can't get then I'll GIVEUP!!!

Maybe someone up there heard it, my last stop also number 7th stop: Hougang St 21. When I went in I saw 1 piece, 1.5Ltr sitting there. So I quickly grab it and then check the rack to see if there's anymore that I can choose from but unfortunately that is the LAST PIECE also thinking "Man, am I the Lucky one! At the last stop & almost giving up on it" So I checked it, 'Hew! no crack, no chip. Take la, last one! what to do'. In my heart was actually smiling! My friend said : after all the petrol & time wasted, its not cheap after all.

See what I meant by "FREE things are not free after all...."
