Christmas and New Year in Melbourne

Wowee I've had an awesome time in Melbourne! Thank you so much to my bestie Jess and her amazing significant other Jay for putting me up for two whole weeks! It would have been nice to say I went around Melbourne sightseeing and visiting important, historical sights, or typical Melburnian tourist spots, but I didn't. I spent nearly the whole time shopping. In malls. In the city. In factory outlets. It was heaven. I think it was a good thing I had only 2 weeks there. Any longer, and Jess and I would have had to busk on the street to get money for food.

Arrived on Xmas day and we spent the day chilling in their apartment. Jess roasted a lamb, and I spent a couple of hours that afternoon napping. I couldn't sleep a wink the night before, I think I was too excited about seeing them. Crazy.

Jay burps just to annoy me. I know it.

We went to Yarra River again on NYE to watch the fireworks. Man, it was cold that night! The previous year it was sweltering! I was wearing a loose tank dress and that was it. You know, when I got back to Christchurch, it was 33 degrees, and then the next day it was about 35 degrees!! The universe is playing tricks on us. I think mum suffered from heat exhaustion cos today she was feeling really woozy and nauseous, and she threw up 4 times. She didn't make me dinner.

This lil rascal is called Dylan, and he is one half of a pair of guinea pigs that Jess and Jay own. His pal Dexter peed on me.

I went crazy in Metalicus buying tops, dresses, and skirts. I love their stuff. Its a 'one size fits all' store. I went back to another Metalicus store for a second dose, that's how much I loved their stuff. Insane.
