Lessons end at 3pm....i decided to go Comics World in Parklane Shopping Centre!! Along the TP stairs, saw Audrey and Pei e. Such coincidence. I told them i wanted to get comics and they graciously accompanied me along which came as a surprise because people are not always so accommodative. Well, it dun bother me if no 1 wants to go though. :) People tend to have different interests and beliefs so its not possible to force them to like them. However its always warming to the heart that someone actually takes an interest or verbally gives support. Maybe that’s why friends are so important in our lifes. As to why all the way to Parklane, its suppose to be 1 of the cheapest store to sell comics apparently recommended by Straits Times. The store is quite small but many varieties from Marvel, Vertigo and Dark Horse etc. There was an white haired man sitting comfortably on a stool when I went into to browse and its not difficult to guess that he is the boss of this shop by the way he interact with any customers that came in. The newspaper reports say the boss is very friendly and approachable which make customers feel welcomed. It is true, I asked for 1602 comics that I have eyed all along when the second issue came out. He replies promptly to have the latest issue 6! That’s fast. So I bought issue 4 to 6. I know this is a mini series, that’s why I plonked my money into them if not it will be never ending like Spiderman, Batman, Superman and X Men series. This comic attracted me when I chanced upon it in Kino, title such as 1602 is totally different from the comics Marvel use to release and the period is set in ancient times in year 1602. It’s so refreshing and all along I have an interest in history so this might be fascinating I thought. I surf the web and saw the synopses of this comics and is quite interesting, it’s about the early roots of marvel characters. I managed to see X men characters inside because I only know X men…haha…I’m a greenhorn in these kind of comics. I chatted a little more with the boss about the price and League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen. Price was 6.50 per comic….so much cheaper!! I feel totally rip-off when I bought the first issue from Absolute Comics in Bugis costing 25. Ahhh….heart abit ache ar. I’m going to buy from Comics World from now on! Next stop was to Marks and Spencer! Pei e was so lucky she saw her ex classmate there after two years..woah…must be our luck that flowed to her. Hehe… saw huge bag of chips at 6.50….so enticing. This is followed by a trip to Carrefour where I eyed for Mochi ice cream advertised by Carrefour!! 15 mini Mocha ice cream with 4 flavours at 5.70!!! Wee….so delicious!! What a nice day!
