XMAS SHOPPING
i swear i was fully determined to hardcore study this holidays but nothing's happened; like i don't do anything all day & my parents aren't even forcing me.good thing or bad ? :S
anyway, grandma & grandpa picked me & sarah up at 2:30 to take us to towers for christmas shopping. hehe we all went crazy, who knew shopping with grandparents could be that much fun ?
grandpa left because, i don't know, he usually doesn't join in whenever we do any outings.
so as soon as we got on the 2nd floor at towers, we saw a stand selling jewellry.
like the shop keeper was asian & she tried to speak korean but she wasn't korean. there were so many sets of necklaces & earrings.
i'd seen so much in korea last christmas so whenever i see jewellry, i'm less excited, like immune =/
but they were really pretty. sarah chose a stone/marble cross on string as a necklace.
i chose kind of the same only it was a pink/black heart with earrings on string & the second one i chose was a detailed flower on sterling silver chain set with earrings.
it was $10 for 3 sets so it was a good price, gosh i felt so asian thinking that.
but i swear that was only the first 10 min of it.
whenever we go shopping with mum, she usually judges/thinks really carefully before buying but grandpa bought whatever she wanted. she spent so much on us.
we went to valleygirl & sarah bought a $30 denim vest & i bought $15 shirt, we kept looking around still while grandma was at the counter.
then sarah just had to get hungry so we went to sushi world as always but i wasn't that hungry so i just stole half her water. :)
then we went to giordano's & the girl who worked there knew my grandma which was sort of strange but it's prob because she goes there a lot. grandpa turned up, probably because grandma hadn't answered his calls like 3 times.
i chose a grey-white striped singlet; but it took ages to try them on. it's not my fault, who knew i was size small ? :S
oh my gosh, then sarah got hungry AGAIN. so we went back to the food court & had chinese food teehee x3
this time i ate. sarah had a few springrolls, i had 4 currypuffs & grandma & grandpa both had cheeseburger meals from maccas. it just hit me that it's usually the other way around, like the kids are supposed to want burgers but the curry puffs were yummy.
grandpa was suddenly impulsive & was like "let's watch a movie!"
ofc, he meant like another day but i was naturally more impulsive, & i just assumed he meant like now.
so i raced off to the cinemas to check the times & avatar was on at 5:45 [half an hour later] so it was a pretty good time.
i didn't exactly want to watch avatar [not exactly the type of movie that interests me] but sarah had seen the previews & she was desperate, i swear, like even to the point of bribing me.
but then grandma called mum & dad to check if it was alright but dad said to watch it next week as a family & that we had to go out to eat so we couldn't. i'm definitely looking forward to watch it now because we NEVER watch movies as a family because dad has to work a lot but he's got 2 weeks of holidays when christmas starts.
so instead, we shopped. we went to uncle petes & bought 2 tiny figure plastic dogs which were so cute, me & sarah got one each. & grandma kept talking about how they had beautiful faces so she bought them for us. $5 each.
we got home & got ready for dinner. dad was watching a tampoline/basketball game called slamball. hahaha so funny, whoever invented had no life.
then we went to bonga in eastwood. we ate bosum & soondooboojighe;
me & sarah ran a little. it was funnnn day.
