A long day

           It was during the December holidays and my brother and I were left at home with my grandmother and my cousin as both my parents had gone to Hong Kong themselves. We planned to go out to Tampines Mall with them that day as we were all feeling very bored doing nothing at home.

            We went there to have lunch. Just after we entered the mall, one of the stores caught my grandmother's attention and she told us to wait outside while she was inside looking at the products sold. It was only after about twenty minutes did she leave the store. We continued walking to the restaurant Swensen's when my grandmother told me to look after my brother and cousin while she walked towards a long row of stores.

             We could only stand there and watch helplessly as my grandmother took her time in each of the shops. After a while my brother and cousin started to complain that they were tired and hungry and wanted to have lunch. I decided to call my grandmother and ask her to return and take us for lunch. She reluctantly returned and took us to Swensen's for lunch.

             After lunch, her shopping spree continued and we could only sit on a bench in the mall and patiently wait for her to finish. About two hours later, she returned and took us back home. We wished that we  had not complained of boredom as going out with my grandmother was three times worser than staying at home.
