What a HAUL..

Okay, it's Sunday yet again! The past week just flew past like that..working @ Kumon, doing and submitting the last report for the semester (so it's finally and truely hols now!) and some catching up with friends. Had dinner with the housemate on Thursday. This requires special mention because this must be the first time since i got here that we are actually chilling out together, just the two of us! (meaning gf wasn't ard...and doesn't appear within 5min of him being alone) Haha..well, as much as it is a love-hate relationship with my housemate, it was certainly nice just to sit down, have some nice food and dessert, and chat. As most know, i have had a turbulent and very much distraughted relationship/friendship with my housemate for the past 6+ years (has it been tt long???)..and it's a miracle i can still sit down with him without maybe scratching his eyeball out. Haha. Kidding..it was actually quite an enjoyable evening. We talk and crap alot..just like old times..back in VJC where AL, Yiwei, Vegan, housemate and I will hang out after school. Anyways, we met up with Jason, Carmen, Nicky and his gf (Estella) who just came over to Melb for some drinks at Carlton Hotel pub after dessert. The interior of pub is NICE. Very Baroque..think flower motif wallpaper, velvet covered columns, chandeliers... :)

Friday was spent finishing up the darn report and submission. Went to grab some food at Lounge, a restaurant cum bar with Claudio thereafter. It was certainly an INTERESTING experience because i think tt was a gay bar (99.9%). Hilarious. My friend Claudio is also starting to have strange tendencies (too much gym and male instructor). Haha.. we then hopped down to Carlton Hotel pub for another drink after a jug of beer, a humongous bowl of chips and a beef sandwich at Lounge. He totally loved the place, and we polished off another 3 huge mugs of beer. I don't think i have ever drank so much beer before. He kept winning me at 5-10, and i was the one who thought him how to play. Bleah.

I basically lazed the whole Saturday away :) Watched a few DVDs, read some mags, finished my book and it was off to bed.

AND today...

Girls' Day OUT! Meaning shopping & more shopping! :)

First stop: Camberwell Market

All kinds of knick knacks, pre-loved clothes..shoes..bags..at ridiculously cheap prices. Well, almost all at least, if you don't mind pre-owned stuff that is.

Da Models.


Digging through the piles can land you treasures :) We made off with $1 tops, $3 belt, $1 skirts..

Ended our market shopping nicely with a superdog :)

Did you think we are just gonna head back home from there?? Noooo..it's off to Chapel Street :D
A unique and beautiful tree en route..hee

To cut it short, this is what we end up with at Chapel..after barely an hour.

And don't we all agree to that? :P

We had to abort plans to have our teabreak at Laurents..cuz we felt too broke. Haha..

And GRAND total for today: 4 pairs of boots, 2 dresses, 3 skirts, 3 jackets, 3 pairs of earrings, 2 belts, 2 necklaces, 1 bag, 1 bathrobe, countless tops and most importantly, 3 very empty wallets.

and of course, 3 satisfied and poor shoppers who decided this sort of activity can only be done bi-monthly :)
