I am actually sick of shopping.

oh,i haven't really shown you what Melbourne streets are like. They're very Victorian. Reminds me of France, actually.

Interestingly though, they've all been spent. Haha, where did all the money go! I guess i now have only enough for school fees (i've locked that away in an account, so it will never 'disappear'), and enough to last me till end of year. I should start saving, so that i can convert and bring back some cash! Exchange rate is good, on the OZ side.

So yes, let me show you my shopping buys.

My favourite lamp! Brought from the Victoria markets. I first saw this back in Singapore at Times Bookstore. It actually costs $79 there. Guess how much i bought this for? $30. I haven't even opened my mouth to ask for a discount, the Indian reduced it from $40. As i brought it to another store to test it out, the Italian owner was "your life is now more interesting eh?"

Its a switch there, in case you haven't figured out.

Very retro but risque postcards, found from St Kildas, a boho area.

This alarm clock is nothing special, but you know why i got it? Because it has the exact alarm tune that my spoilt Power Puff clock used to have! I had tried searching for it again, from Toa Payoh to China Town. Even sent mum and Weibin to help find it for me, to no avail. Don't know why, when i saw this from a mile away, i knew that song must be in this clock! So i had to get it.

It sings Under the Sea, and when you press the button down, it greets you Good Morning! Loud and clear.

There was this leather bag i wanted to get from the Bondi markets. It was one of the kind, very very unique. And it costs $89. So i didn't get, but i kind of regretted not getting. One of the kind leh! So i settled for this. Picture doesn't look as nice, but trust my taste. Good bargain too, like $20.

I was telling my friend, how i wish i have a man who will pay for all my shopping, regardless of price. Then i stopped and went...wait a minute, ibelieve i will be capable enough myself in future to pay for my own shopping! Why do i need a man?

Here's the shark tooth.
Very very cool mints. One in a coffin that says "death mints", to cure deathly breaths. And Super strong manly mints, that is not for the girly type. From St Kilda's as well.

This is the first time i've bought so many jewelery. How can you not when earrings are $1, necklaces from $4. I got an anklet too, because the boyfriend finds it sexy. I thought its for babies.

This is HILARIOUS! Its a magnet, and its on my bed post now. Hahaha..

Do you know i collect plasters? My singapore bathroom wall should have an assortment of plasters now. That is, if they are left untouched after i left. They're actually used ones. hahahhaa...talk about sick. But i can't bear to throw them away mah.

This, i don't think i will ever use. Its way too cool. The bandages are in the shapes of sunny side ups and bacon. How sweet is that!

Fortune teller fish..you place them on your hand and according to its movements, it tells if you're jealous, angry etc. Mine always says passionate. I think it works on heat.

I wear socks to bed, keeps me really warm. Can't resist the shorts too when Peter Alexander is on a 25% discount.

Had to get the old school tees as well.

These 3 are from GUESS, which was a major major major sale. Its only $20 each. An maroon off shoulder top, a flowy turqoise skirt (i actually wanted to get the same one , different size for mum. because i will not allow her to wear mine (mine's XS and i'm afraid it will stretch), and i know she definitely will like it) BUT...i wasn't sure if she'd be an S or an M. And denim shorts, of course.

Nothing spectacular on these ones, just well yeah..another sale. haha!

Just some satin pieces to wear out. My friends call it the Ali Baba pants.
And of course, i bought alot of nice underwear too, which i am not going to display on the world wide web. And a cocktail dress!

Very cool gums. With very cool injstructions on how you should eat them.
I like the "don't have ugly children" box and the "supermodel" meal in a box one.
Eventually, eventually i will give them away as gifts *fingers crossed*
I like them too much!

And i sent this gum back home. They can offer to those people they feel should shut up. Hah!

A GUESS tee for Ivan, finger pointing saying Blame underneath. I think he has a blue one with the finger pointing that says I'm with Stupid too.

"Mom" from Guess as well for big brother. He is the one who likes to wear funny tees. Ivan doesn't like. And thus Ivan gets less shirts from me. Because he is so fussy. I saw the Superman buckle from the markets. And oh, the Transformer one! It was SO COOL. I thought of big brother..then i realised he's 24!! Will he want a Transformer logo at his waist? Ivan will suit a power ranger one. The pink ranger. Haha!

I dig this wallet! It says sugar daddy, and its genuine leather.Its branded and at a superbly good price! Like er, $10? Happy Father's Day!

P.S i am not cheapo, i am good at hunting great deals.

Ivan actually asked if i had another one. Why will Ivan want sugar daddy on his wallet?

For Shaun, obviously. I actually called him, asking for his size. And he insisted he can fit the smaller one.

For Shaun again, i think i love my elder brother most. Hahahaa...

My friend said this one is so uncle. But my father is an uncle already what! Then they said, ok..but uncle can wear Guess not bad already.

I am very fussy with wallets. So its another steal with this JAG one i got for myself.

This is for the boyfriend.

I am not a very shoe person, no matter what my father says. And i bought 5 pairs on this trip! The blue ones are suede, the pink and white ones were $10, and KEDS for $30! I chose the watermelon ones.

The luggage limit was 20kg, i passed with 19.5kg. Hahahahaha!

This was Ivan's customised one. With a reflector, so people can see him at night. Or rather, his bag.

And of course, mummy dearest gets some jewelery from Melbourne as well. Glad to hear she loves it! I remember her seeing a similar one at Isetan but it was too expensive to buy. So i found a similar one at the fraction of the department's price.



Look what we found! Tao Ghei specialist!


Huge cock Bread..whatever that means..we didn't try.



i wonder why must they use trams. It ain't any faster than buses really.
