I had been waiting eagerly all week for Saturday to come so that I could go shopping in Melbourne. It all started when i was surfing the vogue forum and one of the girls posted the cutest ever cardigan she bought. Not wanting to miss out I called the shop to put it on hold for me. Come Saturday, Keith said he did not want to go to Melbourne because he was taking part in a cake making competition organized by a forum. It turned out he had to work that afternoon too. Undeterred, I told him I'll go to Melbourne alone and caught a train up.
The new summer collections have just been launched in most shops. I find it weird for them to be selling summer stuff at this time of the year when it's right in the thick of winter. I was only suppose to get the red cardi but I ended up with these! :O
I would have bought more if not for the "you need to be more responsible and save money for rainy days" thought running through my head :P Feeling happy with my haul, I decided to get a hot chocolate from Koko Black as it was raining and freezing. It was so rich and sinful. I then caught the tram to Spencer St station to make my way back to Geelong.
When I got to Spencer St, I was shocked to see the number of passengers on the train. It was overflowing! All the seats were taken and there were heaps of people standing on the aisleway, and near the doors. I managed to squeeze in because I did not want to wait for another hour for the next train. The journey itself takes 1 hour so I would end up wasting 2 hours if I waited for the next. My poor legs were feeling sore from all the shopping so I decided to sit on the cold hard floor. After about 30 minutes of playing Sudoku on my phone, I decided to stand up for the rest of the journey. Moments later, in came a drunk smelly old man swearing away at everyone with a bottle of beer in his hand. He was spilling beer all over the floor and hurling abuse at people. Being outspoken Australians who do not tolerate such kind of behaviour, he was quickly reported to the train conductor. The train conductor gave him a warning and moved him to another spot. Thank goodness for that!
I was starting to feel faint as it was so stuffy in the train. We were 15 minutes behind schedule as the train could not travel at its maximum speed due to the many passengers. I was so glad to step out of the train when it arrived at its destination. By then, I was having a throbbing headache and my neck and shoulders were aching so much. Keith quickly cooked dinner for me and I tried to eat eventhough my stomach was feeling very stuffed, probably from the hot chocolate. Thirty minutes later, still with a throbbing headache I felt that I had to spew, and so I did. It opened the floodgates of spew it wasn't funny! I think I spewed about 8 times within the course of an hour! I felt so weak and I had to lie in bed but it only made me want to spew more. I quickly took 2 panadols and forced myself to sleep. It stopped my spewing and I slept till 9am Sunday. My muscles and joints still feel weak today but at least the spewing's gone. Phew! So much for the love of shopping :P *sigh*
