Today is shopping day. Yay! Finally I can do some shopping which I’m dying to shop once I get to Melbourne. Not that I don’t enjoy the tours but there’s so many things to buy here. I’m afraid that I don’t have enough time to do my shopping for souvenirs for myself, friends, family and colleagues.

First stop is the Queen Victoria Market. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not there to buy raw fish, vege nor meat. But the raw food there are really fresh and nice. I feel like buying them back to Malaysia but if I do so, the food will not be as fresh.

Queen Victoria Market has the dry market and the wet market. The raw stuff is the wet market while the dry side is where they sell t-shirts, souvenirs, crafts and etc. I got most of my souvenir from there since its way cheaper here than those in the shops in the city.

After finish shopping, went back to the house to drop the things and head on to Smith Street. Smith Street is the place where they have Fila, Nike, Quicksilver warehouse and etc. The things they sell here is way cheaper than those sold in the complexes or shops in the city. Well, it is indeed cheaper here even after conversion to RM. I bought a purple Fila shoe which cost $60. After conversion is around RM180. It’s not too bad for that price and furthermore I don’t think you can get that design here in Malaysia. I know it’s a little odd to get a purple shoe but hey, we are still young, isn’t it the best time to wear vibrant colours rather than those dull colours? Hehehehe..

Besides that, I bought a Roxy bag for only $8. It’s white with pink strips. Very youthful. I bought 2 skirts. One is working skirt blue in colour cost $10 and one is a leather gold skirt which only cost $5. I saw some genuine leather coats in Victoria Market. I tried on some of them and I look really really cool in it. When I asked bout the price, I almost fainted. The price ranges from $160 and above. After conversion is about RM480 and above. How to afford? If it cost $50 then I will surely get one myself. So since I can’t afford the leather coat, I decided to get the skirt as a replacement to ease my satisfaction. Hahahaha... But I look pretty cool in that skirt. Hehehe..

After finish shopping, it’s time for my friend to go to work at 6pm. So we have to head home. I was so tired when I reach home. I could hardly feel my feet and toes when I’m home. I didn’t even go out for dinner. I just cook a packet of maggi mee. I’m too tired to go out to buy food. It feels so nice to sit at home in front of the TV and rest. But I had a great time shopping. We walked all the way to Victoria market back to Lt Cardigan St and all the way to Smith Street and back to Lt Cardigan St. I haven’t walked so far for such a long time.
