South Korea Trip - Almost Final Shopping

Today, I woke up to the sound of my alarm at 10am. Last night, I planned how today was going to go in my head, while lying on bed..right before I went to sleep.

In my head:

10am:
Wake up, take a shower
10.30am:
Eat breakfast
11am:
Go to the mall, maybe watch New Moon or Ninja Assassin
Exchange the birthday gift I bought for B that was 1 size bigger
Buy a digital camera
Buy DVD for the camcorder
Buy anything else that's necessary
4.30pm:
Go home and watch Chit Chat of Beautiful Ladies on KBS World.

What actually happened:
10am:
Woke up.. Pulled the blanket further up..
10.20am:
Stomach ache, have to go the loo. So I HAD to get up.
10.40am:
Ate breakfast (more like brunch, i had rice and sambal sotong)
11am:
Watched tv, surfed the net etc..
1.30pm:
Took a shower, got ready to go out
2.05pm:
Headed out to the mall (Sunway Pyramid)
Exchanged the gift - I dont know what's up with the OLD lady at Converse, she was such a pain in the arse. Learn more about customer service, Miss "Sunshine"!
Bought the DVD- RM25 for one that could record up to 30mins. I bought two and when i got home, i realized that only 1 is enough cuz the dvd is rewritable which means, i can transfer the clips that had been recorded and just re-record new things on the old ones. Aren't I Einstein?
Bought RM10 of pastries in Bread Talk - I know, i was so hungry.. haha!
Bought a few must-haves :
Mask - a necessity, protection at the airport and on board.
Toothbrush and Shower Gel - d'oh
Hand sanitizer - another thing that'll come in handy
Face brush - My secret to clear skin. Buy it at Guardian for less than RM10 (it's like over RM40 in Body Shop and Guardian's has longer holder). It works wonder in purifying our supple skin. hehe.
3.35pm:
Headed to another mall (Summit USJ)
Bought a digital camera for an incredible price - Panasonic LUMIX, 8.1 megapixel for RM350!
I think it's a bargain. My uncle suggested this camera after a 20-minutes-research online. He checked the specs of the camera, checked the reviews online (it's so informative as most reviews give this camera 8/10) and then checked the price in local market. You can search for the market price at http://www.lelong.com.my/ or you can check in http://www.ebay.com/ for other countries. I was so glad when he said that the camera is available in a mall nearby my house. No need to wait and you have the leisure of inspecting the product beforehand and ask questions to the seller. Although initially I had wanted a pink camera, black is ok! On the way to the ATM, i stopped by a licensed vendor for Panasonic products, 2 floors below. They said that they sold the same model for RM400 and now it's obsolete. Yeah right, im buying that 'obsolete' model for RM50 cheaper.

After that, I went to Ace Hardware to buy some rechargable batteries. I did not move from the batteries shelf for 20 minutes, just contemplating whether to buy the batteries or not. It was sooooooo expensive. Plus, I only had RM50 left in my wallet. I've decided to put it on hold first as I have to check with my friends in Seoul if the plugs there are the same as what we're using in Malaysia. I still have 2 more days to shop so.. I'm gonna take my time.
5.20pm:
Return home and the show on KBS had already started. Darn it.
