Bling Bling Market

on thrusday night, we (me, ann, zan, muiz & nurul) went to the jewelery market because ann wanted to get a pendant as one of her "hantaran". the market is basically like any other market. shops lots all over. something like our wet/dry markets which your parents go and do their grocery shopping on the weekend. instead of stalls, replace those with shops. and every single shop sells jewelery. the area of the whole market is roughly like 1U's open air carpark.

we reach there in good time and started walking in to every single shops. certain shops are having their summer sale with discount up to 70%. as we went in the first shop, the feeling is like walking into a goldmine. the concept of jewelery shop here is totally different compared to back home. the have jewelery package/set that comes complete with ring, ear-rings, necklace & pendants.

one major difference is that the sell second hand jewelery. and all of it looks brand new. Ann got a pendant with LOTS of diamond @ a price of RM 2700. its a second hand pendant with a original price of roughly around RM8000 according to the sales person. one thing is, you will never know whether its real diamonds or fake, which makes it a bit dodgy for my liking. one thing is for sure, you will never find such a place in Malaysia as this would be a target for all robberies!
