Oz too

Happy Boxing Day guys!
Day two down under is jammed packed with action and I'll tell you why
We woke up at 430am zomg cause traditionally on boxing day all the malls hold this great great sale and open their door at an unearthly 5am and close at 12pm

Our very first destination was Burket street.
It is kinda like the Orchard Road in singapore
We took a tram there and reached the place at an unearthly time of 545am



Oooh! and guess what?
As I approach the place, I was greeted by this very apt piece of art


A giant Purse
As i look at the picture now, i pity that smiley girl on the giant purse who has no idea that she had just sealed the deal with the giant purse of spending for the rest of the day.

pit stop 1: Myer
Trying out lovely hats which nicole eventually bought.




after a very fruitful shopping experience at myer with no photos as we were too busy shopping, we headed to the train station to make a pilgrimage to Chadston, the fashion capital of Melbourne
En route Chadston, eating subway at Flinders train station.




Yes, they allow food- They even have little vendors selling food at the platform.
How cool is that?
Anyway, Chadston is like this giant shopping mall with every shop you can imagine
From the super atas like Louis Vuiton to the very affordable Cotton on.
As we were busy shopping, i didnt manage to take any photos
For a little break, we hopped over to the pankncake house for a little sugar rush with an order of double stack pancakes with a single scoop of vanilla ice cream- each.
And because we over spent, we can only dream abt drinking something else other than water,






After ice cream, we were good to go and began our long journey back to Bourke Street via the trains again
Candids while waiting for the trains.






Before going back home, we went to Woolworths to get do some grocerry shopping
This supermarket is damn cool.
You check your own items out
Here is nicole scanning the bar codes on the food and putting them into the plastic bags on her own.




Cool right?
I remembered i wanted to be a cashier when i was young.
Shopping here would definitely be a perfect alternative to being a cashier for real
Not sure if it increases efficiency though caused the machine screwed up many time and we needed the assitant's help to reset the machine.

Nicole got me a belated christmas pressie and i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Everyone, meet

my new orang utan!!
Hector i call it.
Hector the orang.
Cute right?

So after a jammed packed day,
being back at home is kinda weird.
So, to let off the excess energy that we have, i present to you some good girls gone bad down in melbourne.
Hah.



Siao cha bors. Okay....more like siao cha bor-singular.
Nicole is totally patronizing me. Look at the unwillingness in her face.
Party pooper!
haha
anyway, till the next adventure!
i think tmr is a day for recovery
Damn shagzz

Oz 1

Merry Christmas from down under!
Chritmas in Melbourne is kinda like chinese new year in China.
The whole place is a freaking ghost town.
Basically all major and even minor stores are closed for today
So, its a chill and relax day for me

When i touched down, i called nicole who was supposed to come pick me up at the airport.
But dear miss teo partied a little too hard last night, so she kinda overslept.
Took a cab all the way to her place by myself and i nearly fainted cause the cab fare was like MAD CRAZY
The meter doesnt moves, it freaking run cause it increases by 10cents every second.
I paid 57 aussie bucks just to cab to her place.
Please do not tell me the amount in Sing dollars cause i think i may cry.

So, since the stores are all closed, we tried out luck with the restaurants and thank god they were open
But we had to walk like damn far
and i dont like to walk damn far so i was like complaining all the way


Settled for italian and boy was it good
We had mixed pasta combo for 2 that comes with out choice of 3 pasta


1. Risotto Pollo
2. Spaghetti Meatballs
3. Linguine Prawn
Aewsome yum.
The serving here is like mad huge so we were stuffed and left the meatballs one out cause it was the least favourite
The risotto is awesome. Best one i have tried.




Anyway here is a story that nicole shared with me today and i think its damn funny.
She was trying to tell me about the racism situation in aust and how the whites hate the ah nehs and ah tiongs(which is us in aussie context)
After that she was getting to a point where you dont mess with the vietnamese here cause they are like post war generation and are super gung ho abt everything
So 3 white aussie guys where messing around in the club and the accidentally bumbed into a vietnamese guy
The vietnamese guy was so angry that he went to his car and took out a SAMURAI SWORD
he unsheathed the sword and chased the 3 guys while dragging it on the floor, you can see a trail of sparks
So he basically killed 2 of the white guys with the sword and only one survived
No.1 who carries a freaking samurai sword in their car?
No.2 dragging the sword to create sparks?
haha...
yeah.. thats the funny part.

So boxing day sales tmr starts at 5am!!
