My First Time to Chadstone

i know.

it's quite sad to be here for a year, but haven't been to The Fashion Capital, Chadstone, till last Friday.
but it might not sound that bad. proving i am not a shopper =)

Chadstone, is renowned as Melbourne's most pre-eminent shopping destination, encompassing some of oz's best known fashion and lifestyle stores. it is the third largest in the southern hemisphere locating at Dandenong road, Chadstone.

went last Friday to hang around and shop a bit.
i quite like that place. mainly because i don't see familiar face. Melbourne central is cool, but i often see the same people, even the same strangers. we drove to Chadstone around 3 in the afternoon. it's not that far from the city, approximately takes twenty-five to thirty minutes. was so excited all way long. my first thought when stepping into the mall, " my god, this thing is big!" yes, the place is huge. full of shops and its big enough to not see all people stuck at a place even though we had spend a little time searching for a parking space. it's still worth for it. i might get lost if i was there alone. =)

see this! this is the basement floor of Chadstone. still full of shops and food courts. i think they have four food courts.

and this is the ground floor map. Chadstone only have the basement and ground, but it's more than enough.

so big! right? okey. if you've seen a bigger one in Melbourne, ignore me. but it's huge, to me. i am sure i'll be back. comparing it to Melbourne central, i definitely like walking and shopping there. and they have Industrie clothing for female! i never see one in Melbourne central. like the brand, like guys wearing it, it's a local brand. i bought a white tee with heart printed on, and it's from Industrie. he bought two quarter pants and two tee shirts, 3 out of 4 are production of Industrie as well. yipee!

already decided to spend our day in Chadstone till the mall close, we then watched a movie. RUSH HOUR 3.

film reviewer stated it's a two star movie, so does it mean bad? well, we watch it! and it's not that bad. it's hilarious. i laugh most of the time in the cinema. oh, Hoyts in Chadstone look and feel so right too. but not the arcade center, Highpoint's arcade is way better.

like it like it.

also, people have been asking how is my mid-autumn festival or if you want to call it moon cake festival. holla~ i had pizza and marinara spaghetti instead of moon cake! and also, i tried Tartofu. my another favourite ice-cream in town! muuuuaskzz~ thanks to the person who brought me to Chadstone and bought me Tartofu!

愛.. 唉

曾經, 童話這首歌帶給人們不少遐想 尤其女人
神話故事裡頭的愛情 也好像總是轟轟烈烈 至死不渝
但是...
愛情不但不是神話 更沒有童話
愛情 多麼現實 多麼真實
偶爾 就是殘忍 有時候 就是幸福
有愛情 就是可以快樂甜蜜
同時 卻也能夠享受痛苦悲傷

現實生活中
沒有公主和王子永遠過著幸福快樂的故事僑段
怎麼可能永遠幸福快樂 如果沒有嘗過苦澀難過
上演的戲碼也許會有諾言 也許有山盟海誓
卻不會到海枯石爛 更沒有
瓊瑤小說 還珠格格的 "山無堎, 天地合, 才敢與君絕"

速食麵的愛情故事固然屢見不鮮
長壽麵愛情的永久希望也連綿不絕

對不起`
我就是那麼沒有憧憬的看待愛情了
不想要再自以為是浪漫的美化愛情
愛情太多變化了 根本不可能以一種型態呈現
所以 我要的愛情 注入多元素的情緒
要有快樂 要有悲傷 要有恨
要有任性 要有堅持 要有背叛
要有討厭 要有遺憾 要有後悔
最重要的 是要有一輩子生命

那些浪漫無缺的愛情
在電影裡出現 在小說中呈現
在小雨夢裡真實演出 就好了

那麼浪漫天真的渴望那種完沒有傷痕的愛情
最讓人受傷
況且 沒有眼淚 沒有被上的愛情
好像驗證不了愛情的存在

不過 雖然愛情已經不被理想化
但是 我還是很相信愛的
至少現在的自己仍然很堅持自己的愛情

Before.. Malaysia

who need vista when you can get the features while using window xp.
i got the currency converter telling me when to use my credit card for shopping spree, weather forecast telling me what to wear and what not to, photo album that keep changing randomly reminding my memories, play list playing my favourites music, sudoku keep me accompany, sticky note reminding my must do and appointment. bingo! it's good. i don't need a window vista for all that. wink.

it's been quite a while since i last take care this blog. i know i have been slothful and not motivated. anyhow, i did update my xanga, very often. main and only reason, i can express better in Chinese than English. bad, very bad. after study abroad for a year, i still can't help writing and reading Chinese. mom has been telling me to read English text to improve. sort of comparing my level with the neighbour girl, which i dislike, i don't like people comparing me with another. why comparing when both are totally different individual. breed up differently and having different attitude. anyway, i know, my parents still love me. same goes to my little bitch back at home, i miss her so much. miss fighting with her, miss calling each other bitches. i know, it sound rude and not right, but we know the limit and chill with it. so, who cares if others think it's so rude. we respect each other anyway. and we did not do it in front of outsiders. *laugh*

Simon, my brother and i are now having 2 weeks holiday. we have our own life. sometimes we even joke that we are not siblings, just room mate. he is planning to go Sydney but i am backing off. exams in a month, but i got tons to read. financial market already killing me, haven't mention commercial law, price & market and marketing principles. good luck to me. having this two weeks for revision and also shaping up my fat ass body. some said i lost weight, some said i put on pounds. damn! so what am i going to do? yes, continuously working at the gym for my fitness. it's better to believe those saying i put on pounds than believing i lose them. lol. i know, weird, but that's my theory.

MACCHIATO

Macchiato, an Italian word, meaning stained or marked.

However, there is another meaning for it, Macchiato, means 烙印 a sear, a stamp. I don't know why but liking the word Macchiato after knowing its meaning, and learning how to cook one. for coffee lover, like my parents, i think they will like it. i quit caffeine. cut down huge amount of it, drinks like coke and coffee, they were my favorites. but i have to do it, for my own good. to lose a couple of pounds, and to improve my skins condition. i am not born pretty, but having beautiful characteristic. LOL. hence, to balance off, improving my visual appearance might help a lot.
