Shopping Complexes

In every large town now there are numerous shopping complexes to cater for ever increasing population. These complexes contain varieties of shops and you just name them.They sell shoes,sports goods, clothes, computers, videos and audios equipment, furniture, musical instruments,camera and films,food,drinks and other things.

Back home in my hometown,there is one shopping complex that is often frequented by many ever increasing shoppers.I would say that it is the most popular and very modern and stylish.The moment i entered the shopping complex via its large entrance i virtually stepped into a different world from the street outside .The aircond is at full swing and the air is very much cooler in the complex.No wonder i see many youngsters loitering,chit-hatting,laughing and some enjoying the fast -food at the restaurants like Kentucky,Macdonalds and Kenny Rogers.There are families with children seemingly queing up for the famous Char-kuey teow at the food court nearby.The aroma of the dish are pulling more crowd and few are already seen booking the tables.It is such a joyous moment to see many shoppers getting themselves hooked to the latest videos,songs and movies at the other end of the corner.There are armed guards in uniform stationed near a couple of goldmiths shop.Two of these guards looked old and feeble.

There is also a supermarket at the lower ground floor.I can see that it is just like any supermarket,shelves after shelves are stocked with cans, packets, bottles and tins of common items like milk, beverages, sweets etc.The salesgirls seem very busy rearranging them. I walk towards the evelator that is going up. Then I see many video arcades . I can see fingers of youngsters inside hunched into the holes feverishly working their fingers trying to beat the electronic machines. I used to be just as crazy as they but i have got ever the madness. The machines are addictive and addicts unrealisingly spend large amount of money feeding the machines.

I stop by at a music shop to have a look at the guitars sale. They are too expensive for me .Next stop is at my friend's sports shop. I chat with him about the coming Thomas Cup Battle.He believed Malaysia will
