Day 28 Maccas Meal & Bubble Cup

I bought a pair of Carhartt pants today. My second Carhartt item actually, due to the outrageous prices on them. Today Carhartt was on sale. My grey comfy tight fitting work pants were $80 down from $199. Vince bought a pair of jeans for $100 on sale. Such good quality and comfy fit. I want a puffy Carhartt jacket too. Similar to the one MJ has.
I tried something different at Maccas today. The McFeast burger and their Shaker Fries. Shit. We paid $18 for two burgers and fries (one small and one medium). Shit that didnt even include drinks. I could go to St. Albans, eat a good cooked meal and still have change left over.
I tried a new bubble cup today. I usually get my blueberry, apple or taro but today I had 'starfruit' and it wasn't a 'fruit chiller' or 'ice blend' it was a 'snow flake'. Different. And Pleasant! I like... very milky :)
Maccas & Bubble Cup
It was a sunny day. Me and vman went on a date to the city. We drove, well I drove, in and parked at QV. We walked past Jwow and had a little giggle at the floating cow decor. Vince had breakfast at Don Don's, we strolled around Melbourne Central to help vman find some clothes.
I try to help him shop but I feel like i do all the work for him. Ugh. Can't you find ur own clothes and ur own sizes? On the other hand, I like picking out stuff for him. Sometimes I pick the right stuff and he tries it on :) or i pick something he initially doesnt like, but after i force him to try it on, he ends up liking it. Then theres a problem with his sizing, it's difficult to find sizes for him because he's so big. e.g at Carhartt when all but one sale item failed to fit him. I guess that makes shopping for vman easy because we can eliminate brands based on their sizing.
Vman's Brand Elimination List:
Saxony
Jeans from That Store
Roger David
Off to Myer to find vman's niece a birthday present. The Tinklebell she wanted cost $100. Wow. We had to find a substitute.
'Remember when you were a kid and you ask your parents to buy you this toy that you reaaallly want... nothing else they bought would matter. They say they will buy it. But when you open your present you find a cheaper, much cheaper rip off of the toy you wanted? Sometimes its not even what you wanted'
Sorry Angel. We got you Zooballs. I found this toy that Phuong had told me about. You pressed its stomach and the mouth would open. It sung out tunes. It was so cute. Me and vince were playing with it for 10 minutes like gangstas giggling in the toy deparment. I was very tempted to buy it... but im sure the novelty would wear off so I recorded it for memories. We exploited my Myer Team Member discount.
Hours of Fun
We went to vince's bro's house in Derrimut for Angel's celebration. We ate filo spaghetti for dinner and fresh ube macaroons for dessert. By this time i was beyond bloated. And not to mention tired as my nocturnal sleeping habits were slowing changing into a normal persons'. Vince dropped me home about 9:20pm.

Our Date: 14th July 2010

This is my very first ebay and online purchase. It came from Hong Kong. it cost me $14.99 with a $10 postage. When i 1st saw it, it was awesome. now that I have it, its not so awesome. maybe ill wear it during summer, maybe its more of a summer dress. thats why i dont like it as much.
Me and vman went on a date on wednesday that 14th of july. He had a day off so we wanted to make the most of our day. We caught a 10:29am train from wg's. We didnt have breakfast so we had cheap sushi from that joint on Lonsdale street, then wake up coffee's at Famous Amos at melbourne central. I tried a chai latte and it was so good. Vman had a Mocha which was also good but not as awesome as mine. We sat outside the chairs at Colorado and ate our food =] I felt we were cute. haha
Our coffees
We did a few laps around the surrounding blocks, looking for winter coats, jackets, jumpers, jeans, shoes or food. Vman set his mind on buying Carhartt pants. I advised against this seeing as Carhartts can sell up to $200 and most of them look exactly the same. We found out they were on sale, vman ended up getting a black version of the grey ones he already has for $99 (not too bad) and I ended up getting a pair for myself =] haha because it was 50% OFF ALL GIRLS JEANS. I've taken a photo of only the back pocket, because thats what i paid $79 for anyway, the name on the bum.
Black straight leg jeans
$79 from $169.99
I was suprised the very first pair i tried on was the perfect fit! Usually I need 3 goes. I tried on another size in disbelief but ended up getting the 1st one. i love these pants, I wore them twice since. They are very comfortable, surprisingly warm and feel like good quality denim. Carhartt, I will buy again. Only when you're on sale though.
For about 1 month now i have been obsessing over thigh boots. The opportunity past on ebay when i found a perfect pair. My computer FUCKED UP and LAGGED within the last seconds of bidding and i didnt win the item =[ i was so sad. so sad. I went out and bought a pair of rip off over the knee (not even thigh high boots). I wore them today. At least they dont hurt my feet.
$60 from FFox or Rampage
Shit quality
We were so surprised at how slow the time went. It was only 3:30pm when we were running out of things to do. We started our day so early. We visited Myer, Spencer Street shopping centre and Melbourne Central Shopping centre.
We ate dinner at Red Silks. Vman made me jealous because he ordered Katsudon and his order came first. I ordered Chicken and veggie stirfry with cashews and rice which was average. We also ordered fried chips on the side, soo good there.
It was time to go home. I love my vman =]
