Natas UN-fair

Did anyone of you go for the Natas fair over the weekend? OMG! I was there on Saturday and the crowd was really crowded. All age, all races, all height, all sizes. All i'm saying is that it seems the whole of Singapore was there. I was getting really giddy and so not in a really good condition to make a sound decision. And things like these - it is important decision. You're forking out part of your savings to travel. It better be good.
Really didn't help if you are carrying a 9 month old who is hungry and wet, pushing a trolley and carrying a bag - amidst of a kiasu crowd. I was only like 2 metres away from the changing room and the only thing that was parting me and the room is the stream of people moving horizontally in front of me. Saying "EXCUSE ME!" didn't help as my voice got drowned by the din in the hallway. Eye- contact with the people almost impossible as all were eyeing the front entrance.
As Izzul was slowly sliding down to my hips, I pushed through the stroller with all my might - not caring the glares and "Oi!" thrown at me. And when I reached out to open the Baby Changing room door - IT was freaking lock! And for a very long time! So what did that leave me? To walk against the crowd to another changing room further down! Sigh! I gave up. What made it worse - we didn't get the trolley bag for free gift. All were fully redeemed!

I was there on Sat too.. from 4-7pm.
Shouldn't have brought Izzul to these fairs at Expo lah. For sure packed giler! Kata Singaporeans, mesti Kiasu punya.
