Went out yesterday with Shamay to celebrate our "freedom" after handing in two major assignments on Monday and the end of our uni classes~ It was great fun and we came back feeling dead tired. We planned to go to Smith Street and Bridge Road, but ended up having too much fun on Smith Street we couldn't get to Bridge Road.. Smith Street (for those who don't know) is a street with a stretch of shops, cafes. restaurants etc on it.. So we got off the tram at the beginning of smith street and started exploring the place (our first time being there). Initially we wanted to get clothes and materials to make cards and jewelries, but~ we ended up doing MORE than that.. haha!
We ended up entering random shops that we've never been before and found soo many interesting things!! Mostly were shops that sell old and "weird" things.. haha.. We saw jewelries that were made out of measuring tapes, earrings of soldiers, record player, type writer, coke collections (fanta bottle with a coke cap unopened selling at $120, cole sharpener, coke syrup medicine, miniature coke bottles and cans, christmas coke bottle and many many more!), 1960's phone and we also went into a tattoo shop to ask for pricing. I also found a record that was soo depressing! Don't know why i even pciked it up and read the title (i don't usually do that), probably because of the cover and the title.. It was one by "tears for fears" called "the hurting". The cover was a little boy sitting on the floor crying.. I looked through the titles of each song and they were all sad! So I looked through the lyrics of some of the songs and found that they really were very depressing! But they looked so real. The lyrics felt like it depicted someone's life.. it didn't only have sad love songs, but even those about friendship, and even life in general.. It was just so real I just couldnt let it go.. Almost bought it without even having a record player.. >.< but I didn't.. Decided to look up on the album and see if it's really was based on a person's real life story or not.. if it is I'll go back and buy the record and the cd if they have it.. hehe~ and Shamay and I made a deal because of that record! She'll buy me a record player for my 21st and I'll buy her a typewriter for her 23rd.. haha!
For lunch, we wanted italian and went into this cafe, but after we sat down and looked at the menu, we decided we wanted somewhere with more choices.. and so~ we plucked up all our courage and got out.. meeting the person who greeted us when we came in right in the face on the way out.. >.< (keryong has never done this before.. so paiseh!! >.<) and so we continue to hunt for our next restaurant.. on the way we met this weird guy.. he was standing in front of a cafe and when we were looking at the menu, he talked to shamay (we think), but she couldn't understand (i was looking at the menu and didn't notice much), the he laughed in a weird way (i realized now).. then we saw him sitting down and repeating the days which was written on the menu "monday, tuesday, wednesday..." to himself~ and giggling.. >.< interesting..
so we continued on for our italian cafe.. but we couldn't find one.. they were all japanese, vietnamese and chinese.. so shamay said the next cafe we see we'll eat there.. okay~ so the next cafe was one that was called "grumpy's".. haha... It's ok, the people in there weren't grumpy at all.. ahha~ so i ordered lasagne and shamay ordered a potpie with side dishes of garden salad and wedges.. and we ordered random tap beers (keryong has never drank tap beers before!)!! it was pretty good but it made us sleepy after~
After eating half of our food, we realize that the food was vegetarian because there wasn't any meat in any of our food! hahaa.... moral of the story: look at the menu carefully before deciding ur food..
but it was still good~ just not as satisfying.. haha...
after 1.5 hours of lunch,
we continued our journey and explored the rest of smith street and headed down to the city. Did manage to buy our materials for cards and also found interesting tools to make jewelries! bought some of them~ ^^ Had vietnamese for dinner and ice-cream after ^^ in the city and came back dead tired.. Went to Shamay's house to check up on the album I mentioned earlier and found that it really was based on a real life story of one of the members of the group!! OMG.. I'm so gonna get that record! Tears for fears! Wait for me! XD Lastly, thanks heaps to Fel for sending me back home! hehe...
