Misconception

I always had this conception that a market trolley was supposed to be a great helper when you need to buy alot of stuff from the supermarket or anywhere else. My mother had also been expressing her interest in getting one since months ago.

Earlier we went to Fairprice Xtra, and finally got ourselves a $10 blue metal trolley. We were quite excited in its usage cos we're gonna buy quite alot of heavy stuff such as 24 cans of Coke, 6 cans of Green Tea, 24 packets of Chrysanthemum Tea, 1 big packet of TOP washing powder, and 1 big bottle of Softlan, etc. But it turns out to be a turmoil for the 3 of us: me, mum and Shir.

1st of all, the front wheels are much smaller than the rear ones, so there wasn't much stability if you were to push the trolley forward, let alone coming across a small depession on the ground during the pushing. It was such so "malu" when the trolley toppled forward and some of the stuff dropped onto the ground. Lucky none of us fell onto the ground from the sudden surge. It was then that we told ourselves that it's not that much of a helper afterall, unless all 3 of us were so incompetent in handling the small trolley, which might be the case hahaha...

Anyway I volunteered to take charge of the unstable fella and I decided to pull it instead of pushing it, since the rear wheels are bigger and I did see some people pulling it sometimes. Well, it helps~ and when it came to the staircase, it was another headache for us. Mum and I had to carry each side of the trolley in order to overcome the steps and it was damn heavy lor... now Shir and me ended up being hungry again although all of us just had our dinner with my elder brother's family an hour before the whole incident. The blue fella was now kept in our store-room and all of us wonder when will be the next time we bring him go shopping again.
