Under the weather~
Sydney's been having a very Cloudy/Rainy Summer... so I've also gotten quite sick lately therefore I've been mostly a hermit at home.. painting..
But today I decided to go out with Benson just to get some fresh air into my lungs.
mm I got to Central at around 2pm cause Benson had to go to tvb station to complain about his subscription beforehand. After we met up, we went to Chat Thai for brunch and as I've mentioned before, they've added new additions to the menu and most of the prices for the food increased by $1 but it's still good.
I had Yen Ta For - wide rice noodle with pork and seafood in a nice red looking salty soup - $10.90 and Benson had Chicken: Pad See Ew and Chilli Fried Rice for $9.90 and $11.90 respectively. We also ordered 6 Pork Skewers - $2 each.

We also found a new (kinda) food court inside Pitt St Mall! It's literally like.. the most expensive food court in Sydney.. but it was nearly empty when we got there.. o.o; It's basically like a hugeee, nicely decorated place with barely anyone eating there. Though this might have been because it was nearly 4pm? The restaurants there included but was not limited to: Chat Thai, Ding Tai Fung, Max Brenners and a really neat little dessert cafe in the middle which has really exquisite chocolate for sale.
Anyways as we finished walking around Pitt St Mall, we just went to Kinokuniya and sat down to chill with some Pokemon Mangas. Benson also bought some stuff from there while I got myself a few classics since they were only $9.95 each.
After that, we just both headed home as it was starting to get late.
As I got home, I found 2 packages! 1 from OzSale and the other from SaSa.
It turned out that my IHana 13 piece brush set ($75AUD; rrp $249AUD) and my Caudalie skincare set + other skin care stuff ($75.40USD) had arrived.
I'm super excited to try the stuff out and do a thorough review of the items because I've tried the mini set from IHana from a BrandsExclusive order before and it turned out to be fantastic! Super durable, amazingly soft, doesn't shed but did have a funny scent in the beginning- the hair are natural goat hair and handles are made out of natural hard lacquered wood; they also have a vegan 17 brush set. On the other hand Caudalie is a French skincare line that focuses their products around grapes as their products use the antioxidant power of grape seed polyphenols to provide skin protection against free radicals - I got nearly all their products for around $10 (rrp $30-40USD) each during the massive sale Sasa had on during CNY so I'm super happy about that deal.
Anyways, I have to go take my medicine and get some rest now...
Toodles!

Weekends come and go
Went out to City last night with Cici and we visited the LV, Gucci, Chanel and Bvlgari store in search of a present for her special someone. Damn the stuff inside looked oh so desirable. *sad faceBut like the things she wanted to buy was way over her budget and because she wanted to give him something that was out of the ordinary (and expensive), I suggested underwear from Calvin Klein or Oroton or Armani or.. you know all those poshy woshy designer brands.
I mean... it's something practical and the guy can wear it all the time and think of you while wearing it.
Can't get any better than a gift like that right!? (:
mm so we ended up in the men underwear section of Myer for 3hrs trying to find out the guy's size and what style he might prefer. It was quite funny cause we girls, cannot tell the difference between bikini briefs, stretch briefs, whatever the hell briefs that were on sale. Aren't they just all briefs !? D:
And while asking for his size, to not give it away, we had to ask his "pants" size and go half way through the store to find a pair of pants that were the same size and then run back to the underwear section to check for the right size...oh the things women do for men.
hahahs. Before I went to City though, Cici called me and told me not to eat before we go because she wanted me to eat with her. But with all the havoc that happened during "gift searching", we totally forgot about food and I didn't end up eating anything the whole day before I got home at 10pm. ):
But then again.. it was fun while it lasted. We took a few photos inside Myer. One consisting of me "kissing" a mannequin. and I also took advantage of the winter sale and bought myself a Mossimo Bra.

This afternoon, my brother, Peter and I went to Parramatta because I wanted to have some sister and brother time with him. We went around Westfields, bought myself the Shiseido Eyelash Curler from Myer and the Passionfruit Facial Cleansing Gel from The Body Shop - It smells so damn nice. I wanna eat the whole thing up.
While Peter bought himself "nerd glasses" from Typo. *chuckles
We then visited Max Brenners and I ordered the Chocolate Fondue for Two. It was very busy by 6pm and somehow our order got mixed up so we didn't receive our order until I complained 40mins later.It was nice while it lasted though ~~

*going to visit tonight at around 10pm so I'll upload photos then ~
TOODLES!
