Bet u feel the same

If you had noticed or is a daily reader like 'passerby' on my tagboard, you would know that I love to catch softtoys and usually take it as a recreational/time wasting activity that boyfriend and I do when we had nothing to do after supper..

Just that recently we stopped doing that for 2months or so because we find that the regular (east coast park) place we always go to gets tougher and tougher each time we spend money there. Initially it was okay. But it suddenly just gets tougher. Usually we have to spend like maximum $40 for a jackpot at the 'sweets catching machine' (if you know what it is).. And we get a middle sized soft toy!

Previously just now we went for a try again and spent close to $40 yet all we catch up are either small super ring packets (a kind of snack), boxes of yo-yo (what for? To add on weight so that the sweets can't push it down the slot), or nothing. (Or maybe just a few sweets).

The whole machine is filled up with tidbits packets and I don't know why. The china lady keeps opening up the machine and adding more packets whenever she notice there's a 'hole' for people to catch easily.

To the extend we even told the lady to stop because they were piling up like madness!!

So we spent about $40 and got nothing. Less than 100grams of sweets (compared to about definitely more than 1kg in the past). Truly disappointed and fuming mad. Really.

So we walked away empty handed (without sweets/soft toys) and eventually stopped at another machine trying to finish off the rest of the coins we're left with.

Luckily bf managed to catch one bear with $3 and we exchanged it for a minnie. Sigh. Indirectly, the minnie cost us $40.

I know sometimes it is not about the money but the excitement while trying to catch the bear, and the contentment when you managed to catch the bear. But NOT when you really try hard, spend much, and get nothing in return.

Since I already have more than enough bears (what you see in the pictures of the bears on the sofa is half of what I have in bf's room. The other half are those unwanted wants I packed them up in big bags ready to donate to salvation army). Bf and I decide not to go to ecp to catch soft toys anymore. The excitement is gone.

bad night at ecp. I really dislike the new arrangement. (I think they change to some stingy boss) haha. Fuck it.

Gonna source out for more better bear-catching places!

One day gonna bring bf to causeway point as they got quite a great arcade there too. Only that we can't go in the middle of the night as it closes when the mall does. Hehe.

Waiting for our mac delivery now!

Have a great weekend and happy mother's day!

Xoxo,
