30.06.06 - Great Days in Perth

Pict00497:30am - It’s raining… Our initial plan was to take a bus to the city as parking there is expensive.  But looking at the weather, we decided to drive there instead.

10:30am - Reached the city, Murray Street.  Being typical girls, we were off the scheduled time.  We can’t be blamed - three girls who haven’t met in six months, with loads to chat and laugh about, living in the same apartment, sharing one bathroom, nice rainy weather outside - there’s no doubt we will be late…

Yvanna went to do her PR stuff while Del and I shopped around on our own.  Went to David Jones, took some photos, and came across a really great place for cheap shoes called "Shoe Show"!!!!!  At first glance the shop looked kind of dodgy cos it’s down a flight of stairs with no proper signage… But the posters Img_2056announcing sale on shoes was too much to ignore.  We went berserk ransacking the shop in search of the correct size and for nicer designs.  Yvanna called to say she was done and she too joined in the rummaging…

We then shopped around a bit more, going to Witchery, Nine West and the sorts.  Diva, selling lots of accessories was having a great sale, so we piled on and added a whole bunch to our accessories collection.  Finally, we dropped by a shop selling local souvenirs, so we bought some stuff for family and friends from the adorable cashier boy.

Img_20581:30pm - Went for dim sum at Northbridge!  Learnt that out of the three of us, only Yvanna eats the chicken claws…  The food was good!!  Loved the egg tarts and bean curd!  The only thing that turned me off about that place is the arrogant sounding guy mending the cashier… whom I think, must be the owner…

After lunch, we took some photos at a nearby park where Del and I were first captivated by a majestic looking tree, while we were parking the Pict0053car.  This photo taking session was hilarious, as we laughed and digged at each other.  No wonder the photos taken there turned out really good as we all looked so cheery!

3pm - Arrived at Claremont, the equivalent of Sixth Avenue in Singapore.  Shopped again, developed photos and stopped for some coffee at Bellissimo.  We also dropped by the supermarket to get toiletries and also Cuddly fabric softener for my colleague.  While waiting for Del to get her ‘gold bars’ for her dad, Yvanna and I browsed through the gossip magazines available…  There was Img_2063a report on SJP and how her hands are turning prune-like and harggard looking… I made a mental note that when we are back watching SATC to take notice of her hands.

5pm - Arrived at Harbour Town, the shopping haven, where we met Sam, Michael and Matthew.  It’s to-die-for there, as everything is at warehouse prices.  We loaded our arms with tops, bottoms, dresses, and queued to try and queued to pay… I didn’t feel like leaving that place…

Pict006210pm - Went for dinner at a place serving Malay food.  The mee rubus I ordered was not like our local ones… The portion is so big I could only manage half the bowl.  As usual we reminsced about our good ole’ primary school days… With the silly ‘freeze’ bell after recess, swimming at River Valley Swimming Complex and the three of us running away from assembly but had to sell "coupons" to strangers for cab money to return to school…

1am - Home sweet home… Unpacked our purchases, laughed somemore, continued with more SATC and went to bed…

Collection for the day: magnets for my mum, pressies for friends, pressie for pee, one dress, one bottom, one pair of shades, one bracelet, one pair of earrings, three necklaces, three pairs of shoes and four tops
