@8:47 PM
HELLO BLOG lol I am so sorry I have not been posting. (If I had a dollar everytime I typed out this sentiment I'd be filthy rich by now)
ANYWAY, wednesdays, aka FREE DAYS, now shall be my lepak explore-melbourne days. Other people have clubs and activities to go to, BUT I HAVE SELF PROCLAIMED CULTURE DAY yay. I shall commence photodumping.
So today I went to chadstone/ chaddy/ chaddys for their super mad discounts:
So selected shops were having super awesome discounts at like 20 to 30% or more off STOREWIDE. Mind you thats a big discount lol. I thought itd be crowded BUT NOPE. Looks like people here arent that kiasu as singaporeans lol. Almost all the singaporeans did mention they were going (albeit at different times).
FIRST TIME TAKING PUBLIC TRANSPORT BY MYSELF YO. The internet doesnt have shit about info of what routes the buses take but theres a spiffy app that does. LOOK AT THE AMAZINGLY SLEEK DESIGN OF THE BUSTOP:
Boo yeah its a pole.
Sadly buses come at like an interval of 30+minutes lol so you really gotta refer to the timetable. Good thing is AMPLE SEATS. You never have to worry about standing up on a bus again yay. So I took my "usual seat" which is the second seat from the back, at the most right. (It makes me feel tall and I can see everything hohoho) Saw graffiti (this is really normal :D) advertising SHIFT WARE (see below). Yo if I ever did graffiti I would totally scrawl something on my usual seat too.
And going off the bus is such a pleasant experience because you have to say/shout out "thank you!" to the bus driver. Everyone does it hahaha its so polite.
Anyways, walked around ALOOOTT. I dont even want to bother with the details of this lol because I got lost and re-walked a path many many times. I ONLY BOUGHT STUFF FROM 4 STORES AND SPENT $45 TOTAL LOL.
1. LINDT CHOCOLATE CAFE
WHAT IS THIS HOLY SHIT GOODNESS LOL. Apparently today was WAFFLE WEDNESDAY which means saving $6 and spending $10 on their waffles omg:
Excuse the really bad pouring-chocolate skills LOL I failed miserably. The pancakes are like cute 5 leaves clover. You cut hearts of waffles and eat them with the super gooey chocolate and neutral toned icecream omg. Am I making you hungry yet.
Yay nice ambience too. So I chilled there eating and reading mah book. (IM READING GOSSIP GIRL OK SORRY, JUDGE ME NOW) And ironically at the same time overhearing 3 schoolgirls gossiping on the table next to me hahaha. They were talking about boyfriends and school and some other girl who used to be brilliant but is now not doing so well. LOL,
Anyway, note to self-- Try out the hot white chocolate here next time.
2. TYPO
When I first entered the shop the salesgirl said to me "hi we're having our 30% storewide discount today! DO YOU WANT A SHOPPING BASKET?" Then I politely declined her offer. But like 5 minutes later after I had one item on hand, she approached me again and asked "DO YOU WANT A SHOPPING BASKET?" Lol so aggressive yo, so I just said ok sure and the basket made my life 10% more inconvienient. Ohwell.
This shop has way too many pretty things on sale. Like multicoloured pencils that actually open up to be multicoloured pens. And uber nice designed notebooks ermahgawd. But I spotted the circle lantern lights (which I've been wanting since I was conceived) and I only spent $11 on it boo yeah. PLUS THE CUTE KITTY TOTE BAG WAS FOR $2. I WANTED TO BUY 100 OF THEM.
THE MINI LANTERNS ARE IN MINT TOO. Super great buy because I've also been wanting a night light in my room. (Ok im 19 and I'm still afraid of the dark before I sleep lol)
3. RUBI (aka cotton on)
Nothing much to say about this store apart from the fact that I GOT THIS AWESOME $7 POUCH. AND FINALLY I BOUGHT SOME WARM KNEE SOCKS.
Aaaand then while walking around, this promoter for the brand Dead Sea gave out this sample to me:
I WANTED TO JUST TAKE IT AND LEAVE but she made me stay to hear her out D: So first she did a sample buffer on my nail and OMG IT WAS MAGICAL; In 10 sec my nail became ultra mega smooth like omg you can slip on it yo. Then she kept advertising the nail product WHICH WAS $100+. And she kept throwing in products and telling me "Can you keep a secret? I'll give you XXX FOR FREE if you buy XXX as well." Omg lol so pressurising. I almost gave in but I knew I'll totally regret it haha. Damn these aussie promoters are good. Such is the downside of shopping by yourself lol. Gotta pull out of situations yoself D:
Other than that, I have nothing much to say. Apart from the fact that window shopping in tiring and not worth blogging about LOL.
