Other half was a few thousand richer since it was his pay day yesterday. We decided to hail a cab and walk around town to settle our bills and get some of our personal stuff. It was 7.30pm and as usual, it was dark.. hubby was still in pain due to his back problem but he was determined to go out. He was quite worried that there wouldn't be any cabs around but we were lucky to catch a cab upon leaving the main gate. No hassle at all!!
We got down near Affin Bank, the fair was RM5. Cheaper than what the other taxi driver used to charged us. (ranging from rm8-10). Hubby then withdrew some cash and we walked to Maybank which was not so far from there, no doubt there were a lot of people queuing at the deposit machine. We waited in different que for 10 minutes or so and done with our first mission. We continue walking to Celcom to pay our phone and broadband bills. I could see that everyone was busy coming in and out of a bank, apart from payday might say that it was a debt paying day for everyone too. After settling our bills in Celcom kiosk, we proceed to Ambank to settle our credit card bills. And we are done with monthly commitment of debts and bills and we manage to add on our steps by walking around town. I am starting to like walking in Tawau town, everything reachable within walking distance but do walk with a partner because it might get eerie walking alone.
We went to a Guardian, there were 2 guardian outlets in Fajar (the new town area. the one located on the same row with Watson and Body Shop outlet is open till 9pm i supposed. This outlet was packed with unopened boxes so it was quite hard for us to browse for our things. So we proceed to a nearby local pharmacy which my hubby found later that the price of things are a cheaper. I got myself the cough syrup (my all time favorite "Ibu dan anak"), and some vitamins and we exit from the pharmacy to enter a more exciting place the Shoe Shop, i've been dying to check on lately.
I was actually looking for a slip on high heels that i need to wear during dinner but hubby had a more brilliant suggestions. He told me to get the boots, since they were cheap but yet very appealing. After trying them on and looking into the mirror told myself i wouldn't leave without them. I left with 2 very cool pairs of boots. both are brown but a different brown but the heels are totally different. Great! Now i have 4 pairs of boots. 2 at home and 2 in Tawau. I feel so happy i was thinking to get another pair in black if my budget permits. By the way, hubby was the one paying for these new babes and i couldn't me more than grateful!!! Thank you honey!!!

Who would have thought i will get so lucky having to stumble upon this shoe shop. "Look" as the name of it, will be relocated to somewhere nearby, i believe the owner wanted a bigger place to display the lovely shoes they have. Alternative to "Look" there is another shoe shop called "Miki". I've been there but the sale girls were not that friendly though. But they have some cool collection of shoes, the price are cheaper than "Vincci" (new outlet opened in Tawau some 2 months ago). In Tawau Vincci, the price of their collection is ridiculously high. Even though with the 20% all year round discount they give.
Some locals even told me that they would rather to fly to KL during sales and get a few pairs of Vincci than buying it in Tawau. If COSWAY only added a dollar to everything they sell here, (except for redemption item) why didn't the rest of the brand do the same. Avon for instance, the price different is somehow absurd. But all i can say is people in Tawau have a huge purchasing power, 60% of the people here is driving a pick up and pick up truck is not cheap. Perhaps people around here are making a lot more than what we are making there in the peninsular but still a lot of people choose to migrate to KL. I wonder why?
