Xmas noms & so on

T'was super hot today as D, K and I made our way through the masses in the sweltering heat.  George St was freaking crowded with SLOW ASIAN COUPLES. OMG.

It's boxing day. BE PRACTICAL. Don't hold hands and walk with an arms-length gap between you. Other people need to get through.  Important people. Tired people. People desperate to get out of the sun. People who are lugging 4 quilts they got on sale at Myer. People who parked their cars in Ultimo/Glebe.

I have never felt such an urge to karate kick their butts off the sidewalk but they just walk SO DAMN SLOW. Shorter legs = Slower pace. Argh. Walk faster!

Yep. So actually what happened this morning. I got up late (around 11 I think..) and dressed quickly to get some good bargains in the city. D made us vacuum the house .. TWICE (the second time this week) before letting us out of the house.  We parked in Ultimo and made the trek to Market city where I bumped into Sharon, Milo and Rohan (and Doug in Giordano). All showed signs of being the early shoppers. Rohan looked like he passed out on the GJ table. Ha.

D later asked me if he had passed out (lol). Very funny.

Bought a pair of flipflops because I was stupid in the morning and wore flats. By the time I got to MC, my feet hurt like crazeee.

SO. At Myer, D says "Lets hit the quilt section first". Omg. So packed.

SO
FRICKIN
PACKED.

The line for the bloody escalators was just enormous. Ridiculous.

The line for the "PAY HERE" counters were even longer.

Bought 4 quilts and decided to get them back to the car before shopping for clothes. But by the time we got to the car, I didn't really feel like walking back to Myer.... but we did anyway. Hmm. That sentence was so pointless.  Stayed in Myer FOREVER. Bought something from every floor except the old lady clothes floor.  I THOUGHT THE SALES WERE GOOD! So happy :D

Trivia: Myer don't have Polo Ralph Ladies, but they have a nice boutique stand on the mens floor. So weird. But yeah, stayed long enough to realise D:

So long that when we came out, it was time for dinner.  We went to Ton Ton! Only because it was pouring rain, and no one brought an umbrella.  But it was good. Sukiyaki don + ton ton ramen + miso ramen = $32.

When we were walking there throught Town Hall station to avoid the rain, there was a couple walking infront of us with nice shopping bags (lots and lots of $$ spent on good clothes).  I was asking my sister in canto (cos i thought the couple were non-asians)

B:  Wow. That looks like a lot of money spent. Do you think the guy bought everything? D:
K: Err. I don't think thats a guy.

THEN, the "guy" turns around, and my sister is right, it's a girl.  And she understood what we were saying because SHE WAS ASIAN. Freaking hell. Dyed hair is so misleading.

Embarrassing. So we sped walked to Ton Ton. Minutes after the waiter takes our orders, THEY SIT DOWN ON THE TABLE NEXT TO US. And we saw them play under-the-table-footsies.

Gah.

But yes, digressing, It was a good day today. Lots of fun with D & K :)

Just uploaded a few photos for your viewing pleasure- (not really. just for my memory- I know one day out of carelessness or computer failure, I will lose these photos if I don't post them up somewhere..)



I made a giant pot of this soup. I MEAN GIANT. So we've been living off this for the third day (well not really- just having this for breakfast everyday). So healthy.


Got this because the glasses are so nice :)  But yeah, not so healthy. Baileys is kinda yuck. But the cups are nice.


Brownies. All gone now. :( But so good. Unhealthy.


Ok. We finished this cake in MINIMAL time. Man, so unhealthy. I'm gonna get diabetes these hols.  Eaten crazy amounts of sugar.  By crazy, I mean CRAZEEE. Yes, like the photo below...


Shopping. For my viewing pleasure.. haha

3 screams of joy:

mmmmmmm food looks good!

Be happy you got up to go shopping! I didn't go til today, and the only things left in department stores are size 10+. I found a size EIGHTEEN in a very tight dress I would never wear if I reached a size 18.

Anyway - come shop at Melbourne for Boxing Day sales! The streets are nice and wide and don't feel as crowded compared to Sydney :D

@Topher: It probably did look very funny ;D

@Diti: OMG I WANT TO GO TO MELBOURNE :'''( FOR BOXING DAY SALES. There is so much more variety, and apparently the deals are so much better. :(
