"My whole Sunday shooping with Amazing experience"

This Sunday I have spent my whole day out side home since 6 in the morning till 5 in the evening. My aunt and brother were very surprise that on this Sunday.
I woke up so early. I went to do exercise with the volunteer groups from OYG (www.oygcambodia.org). Around 30 people, those people did not only do the exercise but clean the river front, mainly in front of the Royal Palace. It has been the third time for them to clean and wake up in the very early morning. I do appreciate their effort and energy. They are paid nothing but they are delighted to help clean our city. However, most people living there are not so welcome with these group actions and they even mock at them.

A boy living there shouted:
“Hey, those cleaners come again! it is their Sunday again! ”
Another began:
“Why these cleaners are so young and beautiful like this?”

I am not happy at all when hearing such words. To me, cleaning or doing from your own willingness and effort mean more than any thing to me. And I value to those who are valuable. Despite of the fact that some people living there did not really welcome our action,; hence, there are runners, exercise doers who keep smiling when seeing such young and enthusiastic young people like us caring our environment and Cambodian reputation. Without any hesitation, our cleaning continued until 9. After saying goodbye to those volunteers, I did spend my Sunday happily with my friends, of course girl friends at DMC. It is said that girls like shopping” and for sure we went shopping all morning.

First we went to Russian market (Toul Tumpong). Lyda is one of the stylists among my classmates but it is not strange since we have known her for nearly three years already. Lyda is content with many new designs of clothes displaying in the market. She has bought jeans, T-shirts, and pants which cost her nearly $40. Not all, Kim Oan my little and cute friend also buy some T-shirt. Oan said that she did not know why she love shopping even the time that she is broke she just want to see the new clothes (window shopping) that’s it and she is satisfied. I’m lucky but today it is not my day. I could not find the real stuff that I like. But I just hope to find the “Necklaces” for Davy Chou filming. We have tried to find many necklace but we were not sure if that is the one that he needs so the best idea is to take the picture of each necklace that we thought are suitable for the film and then let him make his own decision.
It is another time to say goodbye for our shopping then we went to Lucky Burger to eat something. We were so joyful with the chatting not the chickens and cokes over there. Spending time with friends, talking what on our mind and relaxing in the air-con room are the things that I miss so much in the last few months since we were dead and bloody busy with school assignments and homework.

I was convinced by Lyda that the shoes at VNC are good, modern and durable. (Lyda is usig peer influenced strategy, one of the effective strategies to attract the users). After the hearing this from my friend again and again I start to have a feeling of buying shoes at that shop. I and Lyda went to VNC(it is pronounced V and C ) shoes shop. The shoes over here are so modern and durable, restated Lyda. First I did not believe her but my mind change dramatically when there were many customers: young, old, adult, housewives and even celebrities had joined. Those shoes are from Malaysia and it honestly so expensive to me and Lyda and I can say that we could not afford if it did not have sale discount from 20%-50% -70%... VNC is located near Mobitel main office and what surprised me the most is another shop in front of VNC is the “New Collection Shop”. NCS is peaceful and quiet. I can see from the mirror that there was no one there in the evening of 4-5 which is quite different from VNC. The customers keep coming even though it was raining like cat and dog out side. They have tried any pair of shoes freely and happily since the room equipped with air-con, fans and music. Within the romantic and relax music the customers enjoyed buying and trying shoes. Having this good strategy, VNC has a great sale because once customer come here they never go back without any shoes, but they left with a pair, two pair, three pair and many more of shoes. It would be better if NCS consider changing their market strategy. Discount is a good means since this time of economic down turn.
