Melbourne Cup Weekend

It's been awhile since I last updated my blog. This blog should make up for it, because I've got lots to tell! I'll start with my Friday Night Bar Hopping with workmates. We started off at Hush Bar, followed by Ondergrounds and Peacock, finishing off at the Lions Hotel. We walked pass a few other bars, but didn't end up going in. haha. It was a good night out, for a couple of tequilla shots, vodka and Beer. Wasn't a big night out, although I still ended up going home at like 2am? LOL. So that was my Friday night. I felt bad though, because I almost got my workmates car locked in this carpark on longsdale street. It was $100 to get it out =(, felt so terrible! Thankfully someone came out, so he snuck in, paid the flat rate and managed to get out without paying the $100.

So Saturday came and It was time to go to the Races for Derby Day! I didn't spend too much this year, Most of my money went to my new dress that I had bought from ASOS. We all met up at Caulfield to leave our cars before catching the train to flemmington for the races. Everyone looked amazing in their dresses and suits. Thankfully it wasn't raining at the time, so we managed to get some good photos at the train station and also at the races. It wasnt until we were 3/4 through our food that it started pouring with rain -__-" So we quickly packed our things and went inside. We left our things in the cloakroom before making our bets on the horses. I didnt end up winning anything. It probably wasn't my day and the weather didn't really help. Nonetheless, it was a good day, with some good photos. We ended up leaving the races at about 4-5pm. By the time, it was still pouring with rain and it was very cold and windy! I was glad to be at home away from it all, after having a nice warm shower! =P. The rest of the night was quiet, relaxing and I spent most of it recovering from my tiredness! I KOed at about 10pm, waking up the next morning for another big day out!

Sunday was Lulu's Early 23rd Birthday Bash. The theme was Pastel. I originally wanted to wear this nice Pastel Pink dress, but it never came in the mail, so I ended up wearing pastel orange, semi dress that I found in my wardrobe after failing to find a nice pastel dress that looked good on me. It ended up turning out well because we somehow ended up having 2 of each pastel colour - Purple, Orange and Cream/White. The food was amazing at Koko, with reasonable price (after the discount. LOL). I had Sashimi, But wishing I ordered the Udons instead! haha.

We took sop many photos, we got told off by the waitress for having "too many flashes" LOL! I don't think anyones met a group like us with our Phototaking! We probably take 10 x More photos than a Normal tourist on vacation! LOL! We also took some amazing photos outside the restaurant - which had better lighting! I didnt want to leave! but it was already getting quite late, so we all reluctantly left and went to Petaling for supper. It was a good ending to the night, finally getting home about 2am.

Monday Came around and I was out and about again. This time I was out shopping at Harbour Town. There were lots of sales going on, theres a Temp Clearance Outlet store selling things for $4.95! I'm amazed I didn't go nuts and buy stuff! Only thing I ended up buying was a Chocolate Calculator, 3 pens and a Maxi dress! My friend on the otherhand, bought more than 10 items! I was happy that it didnt rain at all! The sun even came out to play! We ended having dinner at Oriental Spoon. I almost forgot how good Japchae tasted! We were so stuffed we took the long way to the train station, finishing the night with coffee at Shine.

So now it's Tuesday...yes, it will be another day out. Went for an early dinner at Lulu's place. Had Melbourne's voted No. 1 Fish and Chips! Verdict? It was indeed delicious! especially that fish! We ate most of the food before making our way down to Glenny to see the movie Social Networks. I couldn't believe it was based on a true story - on how Facebook became Facebook! The way it was founded, the way friends became enemies.
But one thing thats true about Facebook - is that it's definitely about our lives displayed on the internet. Our lives, our thoughts, our photos, our friends, our hates and dislikes and most of all, our relationship status. People would argue over silly details displayed on facebook~! But overall, it was a good movie. It was nice to know how Facebook came about. After the movie, we went to Zest for Coffee and to say farewell to DT, who is off to the UK for a holiday in a weeks time or so! So jealous! I can't wait for my own holiday to start! It's already November! Only 2 months left, til my internship finishes =(. Hope my workmates and I will still keep in touch!

Anyways, I'm off to bed, as work begins again tomorrow =(
