Impulsive shopping list:

Silver glitter nail polish,

and I mean actual CHUNKS of glitter in the nail polish. Let's see how well this goes

1:30pm Dave picks me up

and we embark on our sheisha mission, our mission to seek out sheisha on the Corner of Bell and Sydney Road, Coburg. We entered this very ethnic shop, where the people stared at the only asians in the shop and spoke arabic. Hookah pipes lined the display window, there were buckets of exotic nuts and spices and candy unfamiliar to me. This was a little exciting. The sales man was a no-nonsense kinda guy. Dave bought mint, berry and grape flavours, coal and the plastic pipe covers so my sheisha wont be soaked in strangers saliva. All up, $38. If we got ripped it would have been on the pipe covers, I guess they were individually wrapped and he did give us a bottomless bag of em.

Time to run some errands with Dave. Off to burnside to buy a $106 computer chip to fix his broken fridge. Then to the Bargain Store down the road. I bought hair dye. I was hoping for purple, metallic purple but could only get 'burgundy' which is sort of purple in the cover. I bought 2 bcoz i have double the hair of a normal person. Thats right, I'm gonna dye my chest hairs as well.

We visited the Brotherhood of St. Laurance op shop and i picked up a red Banana Republic summer/spring dress for $8 with the intention of an Ebay resell when the weather warms up. We stopped by Salvos and this is the part where I go crazy. I bought a black leather Jag belt, 4 leather bags, 1 canvas purse bag and an eccentric black/bright green floral jumper - something very 80's. Dave couldn't believe it bought it, believe it bitch. This is actually a daring purchase. Would I really wear this?? Fuck it, I'll give it a go. Once I'm in the city wearing this no one will know or care who i am.

I'll wear this as a dress, black stockings if necessary. Black thigh high boots, chunky ass gold chain, hair in a bun, fake ass black lashes and my nails painted in that glitter silver. HARAJUKU!!

We were opting for a charcoal chicken meal in st. albans except parking in st. albans is a bitch especially after school has just finished. We gave up after 5 seconds after entering Alfreda Street and drove down to Hungry Jacks, Taylors Road. Dave used his 'free whopper voucher' and drank my drink which was FREE to refill. He pretty much had a free meal. MY burger was so good. So fresh. I havent had hungry jacks in ages. Yum.

Dave dropped me home and now I'm getting ready for this epic jwow bar hop with jwowers. I need to be up at 9am tmrw morning to be cooking food for this party. 11am is when I need to pick up the cake from Hoppers Crossing. Im gonna know what you 9am start party animals feel like.

Jwow Bar Hop

featuring Helen, James, Joel, Yao, Aaron, Shell, Ricky and the others Farell and Andrew that we met up with along the way.

New Jumper/dress & Studded cowboy boots

Waiting for the train and painting my nails

Match Bar

Drank: One apple cider.

It was 8:30pm and helen wasn't feeling too well. She looked pretty sick. We waited for the crew here at Match and I made two new friends, Shella and American Ricky, Ricky whom I nic-named the 'Jockey' for the night.

Order of Melbourne

Here we met up with MJ a.k.a. Michael Jordan (no shit). helen and I have promised him 3 Fridays in a row that we will visit him at the Order on our break time at Jwow but it's been too busy to go. So today was ze day. We climb about 4 flights of red painted stairs to our treasure, a bar where the bottles were illuminated with yellow lights, an evelated DJ stage pumping deep base dirty sounded hip hop, a floor to ceiling projection of 'FLASH GORDON' and.... Michael Jordan himself. He got us some tasty cloudy apple (yes i said CLOUDY) juice and vodka. We headed to the rooftop and continued our drinks there.

I really liked it here. It's a place that I will definitely come back to. Perhaps if jwow is still closed on Friday I will come back :)

The Order 'Uptown Groove' Poster

Bird necks as the taps.

Elaborate. Fancy.

Toff in Town

Helen had left by this point because she was feeling sick and she had lost her car keys, just yesterday she had lost most of her Jwow pay. I had eaten by second Hungry Jacks Whopper meal of the day. We reached The Toff, the half uneaten whopper burger was thrown into my backpack because the bouncers wouldn't've let me in. We meet up with Non, James' thai friend with a 19 letter surname. I dont remember the music they played at Toff, I remember the almost ridiculously deep bar bench and the asian bartender in a black one shoulder dress and red lipstick. I tried Joel's $20 Side Car cocktail, which was one of many 'new's' for this day. It was nice. I liked how they coated the inside of the cocktail glass with very fine white sugar. Mmmm sugar.

I didnt really enjoy it here because it was so packed. I felt uncomfortable and sweaty. I couldnt take my jumper/dress off because I had nothing underneath. People were pushing past us and I felt bad for taking up valuable real estate without buying a drink. It was too loud to talk. All i could think about was my uneaten whopper burger in my bag that I abruptly wrapped and thrown into my bag. Should I go to the toilet cubicles and eat it there?

Mantura

We had lost American Ricky Jockey at The Toff. Oops. Here we are at Mantura. By now I have decided that I won't drink too much, I needed to be up at 9am and I didnt have any money for these fancy cocktails that started off at $17. Joel, Non and James weren't interested in buying either so we left as quickly as we came.

Red Hummingbird

Drank: One shot of Frangelico

Here we go. Working the social oil, alcohol. This is a pretty little place. The young bartender had a stretched lobe piercing and a top hat with a feather sticking out. How appropriate for this bar. I liked the interior and the styling however a comfortable and logical placement of furniture was lacking. The downstairs part felt empty, and the upstairs/rooftop was too crowded. This joint is also a place where I'd come back to.

Non: Do you know this place used to be a..

Me: Strip club?? Non: Yes! I mean.. NO!

Mai Tai

We dropped by to say HERROW to Non's vietnamese friend. He had a black/white line drawing sleeve.

Sweatshop

Easily my favourite place of the night. It was hidden, down a flight of stairs in the basement, pass a bicycle and a wine cellar and behind an inconspicuous door. The walls were rendered brick, with handwritten continuous mubblings at eye level throughout the entire room which reminded me of prison. It was a small place, not overcrowded at all. I was really digging this place. I felt at home. The DJ was playing Jay Z, Talib Kweli, Jai Paul and who I recently discovered, Consequence.

Disperse -

The reluctant bartender made me mixed/cocktail shots for James, Non and I.

Me: I want something sweet and pleasant

Bartender: Something weak? Me: No, with a bit of a kick.

Daiquiri. He charged me $5 for each shot. This is probably where I should have tipped him. It was my turn to shout. I bought a vodka and apple juice and 2x Appleton Rum 12 year old on the rocks with a slice of orange.

Bartender: Should we say $20 all up?

Me: YEHH!! Thanks!

I should have tipped him. Here we met up with Andrew + snobby friends who probably had enough to drink. I saw his facebook check ins at different bars since early afternoon.

Observing the typography

1806

Cocktail place behind the inconspicuous heavy wooden door. No obvious signage. I saw a simple '1806' on the shelter board... You would think its a strip club from the red verandah and red light bulbs. I didn't drink here. It was so fancy for me. These people need to lower their lighting and change their music, styles need to be consistent. Here we meet up with Farell and friends. One of his friends, Leonard looked like Andrew Bui, my attempted 'plus one' for Helen's work function. I showed Leonard a picture of Andrew Bui holding some icecream. They looked so much a like.

Leonard: What am I doing there??!

Supper Club

We were on a fancy pancy bar role. You wouldnt think it from the name but this place is/was/now fancy. The security guard attempted to seat us. This place is red carpeted, chestnut leather chairs, antique looking wooden round tables + chairs, and wooden/glass cabinets of expensive cigars. There were old school matches on the bar counter, the type you see on James Bond movies. The men here wore suits and tuxedo's with black bow ties, top hats with feathers in em. The ladies wore knee length black dresses, shoulders covered in fur and Melbourne Cup Day head pieces. They held bouquets over their shoulder and kissed each other to greet. Oh mannn.. Lemme hide in my corner. Yao's sloe gin on the rocks with lime cost $15. I'll just have water thanks.

Mel Poncha Korean Restaurant

We walked from one side of the city to the other side. My 2 inch heeled cowboy boots weren't proving to be practical. But it was all worth it because we had korean FRIED CHICKEN and POTATO WEDGES. Here we met up with Humphrey and korean friends. Nice people.

James' House

I was waiting around for phuong to finish up at China Bar. She was my ride home that night. I kicked back at James' 28degree heated apartment.

Even a slut wouldn't go to this many places.

360 Degrees of Fun Fun Fun

MUTHA FUCKING MONEY MAKING. and I'm getting better at it too. i made a profit on all the items i bought at the op shop for the purpose of reselling on ebay. shit i bought for $2.50 will sell for $12. I was very happy to find a leather bag i bought for $5 sold for $112.50 thats like a 22.4 times more than what i paid for it. On friday i meet the General Manager at Rydges Hotel Meblbourne. and I'm happy to say i've secured a job behind the bar as a casual bartender. The pay is the same as jwow on weekdays but the weekends is more. I want to work there since it is Rydges Hotel, my favourite hotel. It's a bigger and more progressive company which means it probably looks after its workers. I'm also looking forward to working in a new environment, and learning new bartending skills. Tmrw I have a group interview with Myers at the HQ in Docklands. I applied for a casual sales assistant job within the cool Basement department but I think at the interview they will hire people for other departments as well. Shot gun not! My attire is a cross between neat casual and formal attire - infact its pretty much smart casual. Wee. I wanna stand out in a good way, I want them to look at me and be like 'YEP! She's a Basement girl!' And if they don't like me because of what i wear then its not the kinda place i wanna work at anyway. I shouldn't have to impress or change who I am to get a job. I'm a hard worker and a decent looker. Respect me with my nose piercing and mullet hair!! At the moment I feel I am financially stable. Just wait till all the fucking bills run in then im fucked. I've drank alcohol 7 days in a row this week. I've also travelled into the city every day and been at jwow everyday this week. I may as well live in the city. I can make money much more easier since the jobs are in the city. And getting home at 3am after a bartending shift will be next to no problemo. Lucky city fuckers. Last night was an epic alcoholic night. Drinks between jwow, Match, jwow, Match and Randy Dragon. I threw up in the toilets there. 180 degree vomit. I cleaned it up off the seat, wall and floors. I did them a favour. I crashed at james house on his leather couches, which wasnt too comfy against my leather pants. It made it even worse because these pants were TIGHT, next level shit, but i coudlnt take them off incase the blankets fell off me and my bare legs and undies would exposed. The Pacquiao boxing match was on that night. Doesn't he inspire a little Filippino pride in all of us latin-souled Californian accent speaking people. For the past three weeks I've been having too much fun with life. One week after mid semester break ended and im still partying. and now this fucking homework will be the death of me. I got myself in deep shit right now. Fuck.

Complain complain

Ugh. job hunting is a bitch. And interviews are a bitch. i just wanna be immature and fast forward to more fun times. My body is tired and its only 11:27pm. I was in high heels all day.

Waiting at the train station

went to uni then to highpoint for a job interview. I find out tmrw if im successful or not, but to be honest, i dont really wanna work there. If i dont get a call back its because what i was wearing would suit their company style which was more laid back, country, comfy and suited more for 30 year olds +. I was in skin tight black jeans, tight black singlet, baggy unbuttoned khaki shirt with beige buckled high heels. Meh.

Waiting for Ate after my interview

I just applied for about 5 jobs on seek. commooon i want money!!!! you know i can work hard. I dont know if im glad to say this but, im getting a normal person's sleeping pattern back. I'm jealous of vince's new phone. Its a Motorolla Defy - the tag line is Boredom Free. I WANT THAT! I'm planning to change mobile phone carriers since ive been with mine since i was in year 9. people are on 'caps' which they pay as low as $29 a month, with a nice little phone at no extra cost, and get $180 worth of credit. I, however, am on a shitty prepaid that i pay $30 and only get $30 credit and i could spend up to $75 a month and my phones not even good. I wanna be able to check my facebook, check in cool places, check my ebay and also check train time tables. its like carrying a laptop everywhere AND having internet. so cool. Its time to climb this ladder. I went to Quang Vinh today, the first time since vince found a cockroach in his soup. and i will admit, the food there is bloody good. Have u tried Mung Bean smoothie? i just did. and oh man, thats gonna be something i'll crave.

This Saturday is Phuong's 21st. Its gonna be fucking crazy. she made it a rule that when she walked past, you had to have a drink in your hand. I don't know how fucked up ill be. seeing as im her best friend, theres that expectation that id be as fucked as she is. hrm. i cant wait for my weekend. i just hope it goes the way i want it too. if you know what i mean.

A Quick Note

Making that money,

earning that cash

ive spent well over 3hours listing shit on ebay. I know i should wait for optimal times to list, and research similar items to those i am listing for effective keywords but i cant be fucked. i just want the money, and i want it now.

i have a fucked up body clock. its so confused. and so am i. help?

im looking at photos of my holiday in QLD and SYD i want to go back. i want that lifestyle. i want to always have fun. this weather is going to be such a bad influence on me. i just want to be FREEEEEE

this weather also brings out the rebel in me, and the 'fuck it, just do it' attitude. the thoughts of getting a tattoo and my nose repierced seem so much of a possibility. and why should i be stuck in all day doing homeowkr when the weather is so good? i might even skip skool to hava little nap on the grass outside, or on the bench. i think of the sun as a good thing, i want to expose as much skin to it as possible, i want to be a dry sponge soaking up a river of water, submerge me with sun!!!

China Town, Brisvegas

Melbourne makes me happy

Thoughts from Wednesday evening:

It was my final day of winter term at uni. It was a massive weight off my chest and i felt like i could breathe freely. I felt free, i really did. I took the train into the city. By this time the sun has disappeared and it was raining lightly. It wasn't cold, it was a pleasant night. I decided to treat myself and get something, it was 7pm and i havent eaten breakfast yet, i was in a rush this morning and i was working on uni work and didnt have time.

i was in my own little world once i plugged my ear phones in. i decided to walk all the way down swanston to melbourne central, instead of catching a tram/train. why not? i put my hood over my head to protect my hair from the rain, i smiled as the pedestrian man quickly turned red as i approached the flinders street crossing. typical, i thought, he was playing a trick on me. i was patient, today i was in no rush.

while i waited for a green light, i looked up at the digital advertising screen on top of the Young and Jacksons pub, the ads were meant to be designed around the missing blocks of the screen but i didnt see it. i thought how uncreative people can be.

i crossed the road, i didnt move for the people coming towards me. i had the idea, if you let things naturally happen, it will all fall into place. if i didnt move for anyone, then they wud move around me. it worked - sometimes. i thought how a rainny winter's night in melbourne could be so pleasant? then i heard the man beside me say 'its such a nice night for a walk'. i turned around, if he was saying it to me i wouldve smiled and said 'it is'.

Once i crossed the road, my fav song came on. it is the best 'walking song' in my opinion. it was a version of Jheslisa's Friendly Pressure. This is going to put me in the happy mood.

walking down swanston street, my tendency is to look up. too many people look straight ahead, i like to look at building details around the windows, how the lights reflect on things and tonight - i liked looking at the rain falling. i stopped in my tracks, i watched the rain fall, it wud appear to be falling right on me, but i didnt feel a thing. its kinda scary, to see the army of raindrops attack my face but not hurt me. it made me smile.

I thank my parents for migrating to Melbourne city, out of all the cities in australia and the world i am truly blessed to be here. It is really very beautiful. The words 'if you don't love melbourne city, then you dont deserve to be here' repeated in my mind. I love it with a passion, but cudn't really tell others why.

i made my way to my city home, jwow to be warmly welcomed by hwissey :) i had a couple drinks and shots with his friend. that was all it took to make me tired. any more and i wudnt wanna go home. id have too much fun.

but it was time to leave. vman wud be waiting for me at the station.

good bye melbourne. we shall meet again.

Ebay Tips I Have Learnt Along The Way

I worked for 12hrs last night at jwow. I like 12 hour shifts. I maximise my money earnt in one day (since i usually get 1 shift a week). Also I feel hardcore working a 12 hr shift. It's a very physical job and I can hack it =] I slept for 12-14 hours last night. I slept from 4am to 6:30pm. I think there is something wrong with me. I want to get my sleeping pattern back to normal. I reckon the reason for my fucked up sleeping pattern is i have nothing to wake up for, unless it is school or uni. Sigh. I need to stop being so content with my life and find a reason for living that will compel me to wake up! It's 7am. I'm still awake, I wanna stay awake til about 11pm tonight so I can correct my sleeping pattern. It's so boring when no one is awake with you. I've been on ebay the whole time, writing up descriptions of new items to sell, editing and takingphotos, uploading them on photobucket.. It's all ready to be cut and pasted into a listing when the time is right.. that is in about 12 hrs time. someone make the time go quicker! Scroll down to the very end to check out the items ive got to sell. I'm making a business out of ebay. Learning marketing for 2semesters in a row and working at Femme for more than 1 year has influenced my mind to think more customer-based. I reckon I have developed a technique to sell girl clothes more effectively, even guy clothes perhaps. Closely monitoring my ebay listings, i see how many views my item has. If it doesn't have many, I alter a couple of words in the search title or change the photo to a more interesting one. I believe:

• Without 'watchers' you may not sell the item or get a good price for it
• You need as many 'watchers' as you can get so they compete and bid for your item, and increase your daily profits!
• Once a potential buyer is on your page, dont let them escape! Encourage them to look at your other items for sale. I not only do this, but put a slideshow underneath for the lazy or uninterested people. Maybe one of the pictures will catch their eye. That being said, lazy/uninterested people won't sit there and watch your slide show, so put the items you want to sell the most at the start.

Success all starts from the page views. Having me and ate post our clothes at the same time also increases buyer awareness. This girl even bought TWO items which is a good indication that our buyers are checking out our other items. Here are some tips about taking the photos:

• Attract initial interest with a well lit and engaging photo that would appeal to the intended buyer
• Sometimes a close up detailed photo is more engaging than a full scale image. A couple times I have changed my full scale images to a close up image and gotten more people watching/viewing my items.
• Take many photos of the object. Repetition will drill the idea of buying into the customers head. Think of it this way, if they are undecsive about a top.. seeing different aspects of the top multiple times will convince them they DO like the top. Every photo is a confirmation of 'yes, i do like this top'.
• Photograph the details that make your product unique. Flaunt this.
• Ensure the quality of the photo, this is very important.
• If the item doesnt look good on a hanger, model it. And vice versa. But dont model it if the item doesnt look good on u, it will make the item look bad. then no one will want it.
• Do not upload your 2nd, 3rd etc photos via ebay. You're not gonna pay 25c for additional images. I load them up on photobucket and cut/paste the links into the description sections.

Here are some tips i've learn along the way:

• Customers are generally shy. If the information is not presented to them, they prolly wont ask for it unless they are compelled to. To encourage buyers to buy, put in lotsa details of your items. And write something friendly to encourage them to ask if they want questions answered.
• Meaningful, not 'cut and paste' messages, are greatly appreciated.
• Customers want the product to apply and appeal to them. So try to build a connection between them and the item. You can do this in many ways e.g. tell them how it looks, what you can do to make it look better, what they can wear it with, how nice it looks, how their daughters/sisters will also like this

This is actually the back of the dress. I used it as the listing picture because the zip made it more interesting than the front.

This is a close up photo of the shoulder detail of the top.

After I found my full scale photo wasn't attracting enough attention, I posted this photo in the listing. These rips were the most interesting detail of the jeans.

Good quality photo. The background compliments the colour of the pants. A full scale photo would be boring so I folded the pants. The stripes and logo are visible.

I modeled this shawl because it looked boring on the floor. (see photo below) I can show people how it looks when its being worn. This shawl is a size 14. People who are size 8 might click on this listing anyway. This shawl also looks like a dress. People who like this as a dress might be interested in buying too.

This is how the shawl looked on the floor. BORING! No one's gonna click on this if they saw this from afar, especially when there's other shawls for sale

Why I Hate My Mum

I've listed this Pierre Cardin Black Leather Bag on ebay. Auction price is $19.99 with 3 potential buyers watching my item. it had 7 days to go for them to fight it out. There may be a good chance for me to win over $19.99 at the end of it. It cost me $1.09 to list. I took, edited and uploaded about 10 photos of the item, focusing on specific details of the bag. But this morning, during mum's usual snooping through my room, so found out i was selling it. She didnt want me to sell it. I took that bag from her massive walk in wardrobe full of clothes and bags and she hasn't noticed that it was gone. I've had it for several months. I'm in need of money for my Paris/London Tour. Ebay is becoming my main source of income as work doesnt help me raise enough money. My response to her request not to sell it was:

"This bag is going to bring me over $20. I need money for my trip. Is it worth you having this bag to sit in your massive wardrobe to collect dust? Along with all your other bags and clothes you never notice having?"

Her answer was, "I like it". Fine then, I gave it back. Selfish bitch. I could've sold it anyway but I wanted to put her to the test. She failed miserably. She even analysed the bag and said it had more scratches on it. I told her "ALL I DID WAS TAKE PHOTOS OF IT!"

She's such a hoarder. She wants to have everything she 'likes'. Selfish bitch.

Whenever I buy something I try to hide it. Until the day she dies, she won't ever cease to question 'where did you buy that? when did you buy that? who much did you pay for that?' She would get angry because it was apparent i wasnt saving my money, that i needed to put money away for a car, or that i always waste money buying useless things, and that i wudnt even wear that, or where would i wear that?? She has no idea how much I save, i have been saving since ate opened me a commonwealth bank account in grade 5.

It's gotten to a point where she spends more than me. Buying many items in one shop, then going back the next day to exchange/return and buy more til it satisfies her superficial soul. She has numerous cloths in her wardrobe that she doesnt wear, often with the tag still attached. Today she came home with 3 or 4 large bags from Harris Scarf full of clothing for herself. The other day she came home with 3 full Deborah K bags. Selfish bitch.

I told her that money is better off going to my bank account and earning interest. or paying off my $21,000 HECS Debt. I even refused months ago the money she used to give me weekly, so she can put it to my HECS. I doubt any of it goes there.

She is a hypocrite. She loves the sound of her voice too much. She loves her material belongings as if they make her life complete. Here are so many other reasons why I hate her. They surface when i am angry but disappear over time, then re-appear. Why wud u forgive when she doesnt even know, or want to know what she's done wrong. She wont be willing to change. You can't teach old dogs new tricks, and apparently, how to use a mobile phone. Perhaps one day, before she dies, I tell her everything and without the tears of anger that now swell my eyes.

New Obsession

Towering over you.

Bondage in Cream by Zu Shoes - $150

This is what i wore on saturday night for Lily's 21st birthday. I had to travel all the way to Northland Shopping Centre since the Highpoint Zu store didn't have my size in stock. These are a size 5.5 i could even do with a smaller size, the 5. but again nothing was in stock damnit! ive bought oversized shoes for the sake of having it, so ill do it again.

I've been eyeing these for quite sometime. Picked them up off the shelf, and put them back sighing at the price and remembering all those high heels ive got at home that i only wear once in a blue moon. But lily's 21st was a special occasion, and these shoes wudve gone perfect with my lavender colour dress! =D and since i saved $95 on the dress i could use this money to buy the shoes!

These shoes are so pretty. They are currently on display right beside my computer. They are visible from the corners of my eyes. MMmmmmm soooo high. I cant get over them, just like how i cant get over that All I Want Is You song. I love the multiple and unnecessary straps and silver buckles, i love the colour (the way it makes the shoe more noticeable, the way it emphasis's the details of the shoe), the platform, the peep toe, the ankle strap and unbelievable and dangerous height of the shoe.

I missed the shoe so much, that the night i had it 'held' at northland i went to the Zu website and signed myself up as a member. I dont know why. I looked at pictures of the shoe and found out the platform is 4cm in height and the heel brings the total height of it to 12.5cm. I was kinda grossed out when I found the name of the shoe was Bondage.

I am pleased to announce that on Saturday, after 8hours of Bondage wearing, I avoided a broken ankle :)

Today I thoroughly vaccumed and mopped the entire house. I also sorted through the shoe cupboard downstairs finding shoes i could sell on ebay. My once beloved sneaker collection is no longer of importance, that is something i thought i would have never said. but its true. move over sneakers, the heels are coming through. Ive chosen to sell the sneakers i do not like, are too big for my feet, or hardly ever wear. Ive sold a few non-sneaker shoes aswell, including 1 pair of pink heels, brown leather cowboy boots and black flats.

Ebay selling is so addictive. I keep checking and checking to see if anyone has bidded on my items, how many people are watchers, and how many people have viewed the page =D

I was half way through listing these last babies when i decided to try them on. I've only worn them once before but when i put them on again i realised 'hey, these aren't so bad!' They wud look good with tight black jeans/leggings. kinda quirky they are. and now they are mine .... until next time.
