We were back in Muar over the weekend. We hardly go shopping while there because it's really no place like in Klang Valley. The one and most reputable shopping place there is Wetex Parade, where anchor tenants include The Store.
Since we needed to buy some household stuff, we dropped by and while at the household department of The Store for the first time, I was actually quite excited to see the kinds of things they had to offer. There were interesting things that we have difficulties finding or even non-existent in Klang Valley selling on the shelves of The Store. They gave me a sense of nostalgia. Seeing things like those hot water flasks that my Grandma used to use, the kind of pencil case which I had used back in primary school days which I don't find selling in town anymore, tiffin carriers, etc. I hadn't expected to find these kind of things there so you can imagine how "ulu" I was, kept exclaiming my surprise to see this and that.
I was also busy checking out the prices of all these stuff just to check if they were expensive. Just being a busy body to see if they were considered antiques or just the normal everyday stuff. Some of the products didn't come with price tags so I was looking out for a barcode scanner in the store to check the prices, but couldn't find any. But for those that came with price tags, the items were actually selling rather cheaply.

Other than The Store, we didn't visit any other shops at Wetex. Was rushing home to make it in time for the boy's bedtime. But if I do visit the next time and have more time on my hands, I think I would like to go browse more. Who knows, I might even buy some of those things back as keepsakes!
