My group get 'red oval' so we have to find  a oval shape in red colour man made product. It was a bit tiring because we have to walk and there is no shop that open yet. My group enter every shop that open at that time to find our product but sadly we got none😖. After we discuss among us we decided to have a breakfast first at KFC because we all feel really hungry😂. While we taking a breakfast we decided to wait for a toys shops next to KFC to open to find our product. Luckily, after we finished our breakfast the toys shop was open and we finf our product.
