the story of grocery store...

Last time when i was still young, i always go to the chinese grocery store near to my house 1. I always went there with my friends then loitered around and the main purpose was to "tikam"!

Know what is tikam? In chinese we call it "跌金(Drop Gold)". Only 2 simple steps, insert coins into the machine and turn! Then the "金(Gold)" will randomly drop out from the machine. If you're lucky enough then you will get what you want.

Last time it cost us only 20 cents, 50 cents and maximum also rm 1 dollar coins. Now some of the "Gold" need rm 5 or more..... Wah? really "Gold" meh? To some of you might think that we were so brainless la, kena cheat la.... Yes, the toys are useless to us now but what we really bought was some joys during our childhood time.

Now you wanna turn also hard d lo, most of the small small stores also closed down d.

We got huge shopping malls, hypermarkets, supermarkets, mini markets, and convenience stores everywhere. Shopping, foods, movies, entertaintments, all in one!

I found this 7-11 is really different from others... it is very find a 7-11 like this one anymore in this century.







Woots, very the old school 7-11.
