A Walk in the Park

Unlike most Friday mornings where i would usually sleep in for the day (since i have the day off), today i woke up "extra" early. Why extra early? because today is the day we will be going to the Auckland museum for the first time in....? well...a long time. Why the museum? because we had an epiphany yesterday (after weeks in denial): one of out major assessments would be semi due in the next week and we still haven't acquired any first hand research. Headache. Ouch.

But before that, we took a nice loooong walk pass the design building, through the archy block, along the OGGB, across the motorway and up the domain (and that's not including a 45min ride on the bus to the city center)

Scent of Spring

How long are you prepared to wait in line for a MASSIVE sale of branded perfumes (and electronics)? For me? not long for sure. However we had no choice but to enter that god forsaken place cos we paid 6 bucks to park our car at the venue. For three hours, I observed determined bargain hunters putting bottles and bottles of Gucci, Elizabeth Arden, Bvlgari, Calvin Klein etc in theirs little plastic buckets. Sigh.......I mean, since I'm already here and would never like to find myself in this kinda situation again... why not??? So I bought a bottle of Juicy Couture. Its this really really nice fragrance. Before, I could only stare at it from a distance in the shops cos it was so damn expensive. but now I own it hahahahahahaha *evil laugh* take that! and that! bloody retailers. ^__________^

Yesterday, I stayed up till 2 in the morning to read this book. So obviously in my opinion it was a good book. ^______^ All about the snobbish lives of the upper class New Yorkers told through the eyes of an average middle class women stuck in a loveless marriage to a wealthy husband.
