Apparently this year’s crowds were significantly smaller than last year’s. Y and I wouldn’t know because this was the first time we’d taken the trouble to rise early on a Saturday morning and head down to PWTC. At 9.45am, there was already a whole heap of people queuing for their admission tickets. If this is what the MATTA Fair looks like during recession, I don’t want to be there when the economy is booming.
Am currently in the midst of planning a few trips for the upcoming months. We’re thinking Phuket, Beijing and Tioman but details are yet to be finalised. The older folks may be spending less but AirAsia is simply too tempting for those of us in our 20s. Or maybe it’s just my colleagues and me.
Speaking of crowds, IKEA is impossible on a Sunday afternoon. You wouldn’t believe there’s a recession looking at the number of people in there. I could barely walk! This kid with a mini trolley charged at me and his mother didn’t even try to stop him. I stepped to one side just in time. An onlooker shook his head disapprovingly.
Interesting Sophia. Maybe they r spending less tho. When the jobs go, it will be more obvious. U can still get cheap thrills at ikea,
I think people are spending less, although apparently Beijing tours are the most popular choice at this year’s MATTA Fair. You guys heading up to KL anytime soon?
