Flaunt

Yet to get the photos from Australia back from P yet. but I cant wait for it to be back. Pictures are bloody gorgeous.

Anyway, I thought I would post my loots! bwahahaa all in the name of sharing but I just want to showoff all my awesome buys hehh. 

All the tops! okay most of it. 2 or 3 pieces are in the wash cause I wore them during Aus. Didnt bring enough clothes had to keep wearing newly bought ones hehh. But I love what I got! Look at the denim shirt and vest! The vest was only 7Aussie dollars. Cheap ttm. The denim shirt is super gorgeous. Cant wait to wear it out someday. And the trench coat! 15 Aussie bucks! Best buy of the trip. Plus 2 shirts, 2 tees and one knit. Think the 2/3 other pieces were all knit. Love knit wear.

Now I have to think about how I can squeeze them all into my filled-to-the-brim wardrobe. Blarhhh

Bottoms! I think I went slightly crazy during the trip cause the bottoms I got were mostly bright colours. 2 jeans 1 jeggings and 1 shorts. One of the jeans in the wash. The most comfortable and flattering pair of jeans I have ever seen. My legs were bloody skinny in Aussie. Love it to bits. But I the red and the green though. Thought they will make some differences in my very boring wardrobe. hahaaaa

Sigh. Hungry

Back

to insane heat and lesser good foods. and lousy shoppings.

Melbourne is just, awesome. there is no other description.

Experienced a minimum 6 and maximum 11 degreeCelsius. Natural airconditioning all the way. even when we are in the house. everyday we just froze and joke about how our fingers are going to drop out. But it was  so good. and cold air and everything. Everything just automatically becomes much nicer. Like walking and stuff. And the shopping. Its sales period there now and the way they give sales is so much more better than bloody SG! the so-called GSS in SG comprises mainly of a minuscules section in the shop that gives you offers for items, and the rest are at their original prices. But over there, we got crazy buying. Stuffs are cheap and they really give discounts on a lot of things. Especially the shops that we went to, like Valleygirls which is something like Forever21 in SG, and JaysJays where the whole shop is on sales. And they have clothes we can wear in SG. Went crazy there and bought so much clothes back. I have no idea how I am supposed to squeeze them into my already filled wardrobe. sighh

Oh and the food. I cant fully describe how good every single bloody thing we had there was. Sushi places was littered all over the place. And lynn brought us to this shop that has the most awesome fried chicken sushi. The chicken is just so bloody nice we had it for three consecutive days. I think. And their salmon sashimi is bloody good also, plus its cheap. and they cut it thick and gave a lot of slices. I miss it already. Plus the various cafes we went, and best of all the dinner we made. All. So. Damm. Bloody. Awesome.

Best of all was definitely seeing lynn again and spending time together after nearly a year! Had so much fun staying over and shopping and exploring Melbourne together (not exactly since she was pretty much our guide bwahahaaa)

We are so definitely going back in two years time. Save up save up save up! :D

Going to add pictures when I get them from P. Pictures were really nice since the sky is super blue in Melbourne and the lights are awesome. We all look fair and everything.


Plus I developed all 7 rolls of my film! Going to check them out soon. Crashing now blearhh

Wander

Walked around Chinatown today

Main motive was to apply Australia visa. After the 5 minutes process was over I went to fill my belly. Chinatown is unbelievable crowded on a weekend. Granted, its a weekend. But the amount of people that poured out of the MRT when I alighted was just scary.  Plus its not just oldies which you would expect at Chinatown. Saw plenty of young people. Goodness knows what they were dong there

After food I started walking. Walked around the overly beautified streets and saw only shops selling tacky souvenirs and more tacky souvenirs. I was pretty amused by the stuffs I saw. Was spamming with my Sardina. Cant really wait till I finally get my lousy ass and go develop all the films. Oh and I saw the Lomography Shop! Oh my god all the different version of La Sardina. Especially the recent beach series SO MAD PRETTY can't stand it! And saw the ginomous version of La Sardina, which is also my version. hehh. So amazed at all the fine details. Exactly the same down to the last screw.

Went into Ang Siang Hill just because I saw a pretty blue building up the hill. hahaa. But saw a couple of unique cafes and bar up the hill. Going to go try them out when I have the money. Saw a pizzarie and a oyster bar. Looks so good I was so tempted to go eat. Sigh. Money have to start dropping from the sky already

Then wandered to some random mall which was super empty. But the shops it carries was amazing. A couple of anime figure shops which houses rather a lot of cool figures. but then again its very common la. hahaa. And this vintage shop which sells really vintage stuffs. From old barbies from the 1900s, 1956 1978 etc to really old handbags. The vintage handbags were, very special. Amazed at how the people from that era manages to carry such handbags.

Something like this but I saw a even more outrageous one. Transparent, glass looking rectangular box. Wouldn't call it a bag. But amazing. yeah. hahaa. And also passed by a book sale selling books from the last era I think. Saw books like Windows NT4 for Dummies

I was like, er, Windows NT4? Who the heck uses that anymore? I wiki it and the system was launched in 1996. Thats like, er, more than a decade ago? hahaha. Laughed in amazement and disbelieve over the attempt sale of such books. goodness

And walked around in one of least beautified Cold Storage ever. Usually Cold Storage stores comes with tile floor and bright lightning and blah. This one that I saw, I would believe you if you said it was some random family operated store. The modest cement floor and all the plain price tags and stuffs. Think I have been in the city for too long, too used to the bright and advanced supermarkets. This one was special. It even had a popular store within. Granted its small but, its so out of place. One small corner with 3 shelves filled with cookbooks and children books? Random. Totally random.

Pretty much lost interest in continuing wandering cause I ran out of film. Can't take down things i find interesting or fun or worth it. Meh. But will go back one day and finish exploring that area. Quite a good start for my Island Tour. :D

Going to develop all 6(?) rolls of film on Monday before I fly. So as to clear. Hopefully they turn out nice. Can't wait. :D

Antoinette

Met up with the szbs on Monday

Went to Antoinette cause JY wanted to. went on a huge detour round lavender before we got the correct direction

Food was pretty good. Amounted to around 17 each. given that the drinks we ordered wasnt served. which was a good mistake cause the water provided was pretty much all that we needed.

I took alot of pictures featuring qx. and i distantly remembering her asking me not to upload it cause she thinks she looks disgusting. But I love such erm, unglam shots? So...

Food!

 Smoked Salmon with scrambled eggs

This was good! I like the scrambled. and the thick toast. and the salad. and especially the smoked salmon. though it was a tad salty. but its nice. hehh.

been having a weird liking for vegetables nowadays. gobbled up the salad. which was just lightly seasoned with salt I think? but it taste good. so into my stomach it goes

Strawberry Pancakes

which was awesome. if I ever go back it will be because of this. from the fluffy pancakes to the cream to the strawberry sauce to the strawbie itself. Stab bits of everything and stuff inside mouth.

 Bliss

The last bite of awesomeness :D

Peach Crepe. I think

This was awful. too bloody sweet. from the preserved peach to the sauce and the ice cream. they should have washed the peaches in water before serving it. so hard to eat it with wincing in agony over the extreme sweetness. The icecream was nice initially. but a few more mouthful and its too sweet to continue. 

but qx says its nice. hahaa she finished this up herself

Just as we were about to leave this pair of cutest girls ever went to the door too. they were so cute and pretty. looks like mixed-blooded. but awfully adorable. And when one saw us taking photos of us she started giving us huge smiles. awww 

but I really like their decor though. Classy and different from the usuals. 

guess what she is doing bwahahaa

After all the food we went Haji Lane. Not much stuffs there. Mostly shops selling unique items that are super expensive. out of my range la hahaa poor girl ttm.

But I took some photos! Didnt bother to edit any though. too lazy too hahaaa ops

Blogshopy shot. no?

After Haji we went J.CO to rot. and to rest. All of us were pretty darn tired. I think it was the sun. 

Showing off their buys from Haji

And both ignoring me :(

camwhoring in Pull & Bear while waiting for qx

Was awesome seeing them again after a million years. Now we just have to wait for chels to come back. I have not seen her ever since her concert. Which is like a million years ago. 

4 more days till Melbourne! I have yet to apply for visa. nor change money. nor pack. screwed? 

Going to bring all my cammys over. My beloved Sardina and Bulky (a last min name for the DSLR). Delegated the important task of bring the instax to P since she wont have to carry so much. I cant wait i cant wait i cant wait! 8pm flight on the 12th and will touch down at Melbourne 5am. The travel to Lynnie's house and dump luggage. Then it will be a full 9 days of crazy shopping and eating and sightseeing and everything. 

CAN'T WAIT! :D

Because you create your own happiness

I dislike people who whine and groan and complain about how upsetting their life is. regardless of what ever that has happened to you, you created the scenario somehow or another. A past decision or thought or something lead to you doing something that leads to what ever is happening today. If its over, its over. end of story. what we can do is go forward from that point and learn from what ever that has happened. Life goes on, and we cannot be stagnant at a single point just simply because we cannot get over what our decision has lead to. Its one thing to be sad about something, to regret that moment, and another to altogether allow ourselves to sink in that single incident and never recover. eventually you will have to forgive yourself, because that is the single first step to recovery. if you cannot forgive yourself regardless of what everyone else does it will be useless. after forgiving oneself can we then start to heal and let what ever that has happened become a memory,   one that is worth keeping.

Because we do hold the key that unlocks the door to our own tomorrow.
