early bird catches the wah?!

It is 3.40am. And I am still awake. Edit: I am STILL AWAKE 4.40 =-=;

There is someone else online. But he's playing Dota. D: Actually I've been on for ages reading a blog I found when browsing through Blogger :) It's VERY different from what I'm used to. Kind of glamourous. Designer brands, clothes.. designer water?!

XD

I walked passed many big name brand stores today. They have heaps around Martin Place. INFACT, I distinctly remember there being a shop called Posh! which sold big brand products. Once I met an auditor from Deloitte. One of his biggest clients is Louis Vuitton. The auditor let it slip loose that the price mark up would be as much as 200% from the manufacturing price. o_o;

Oh yay msn.

*many mins later*

I've never really been into huge designer brands like Gucci/ Louis Vuitton etc... but I guess I'm only 17 :) I don't know how people would be willing to pay over $1,500 for a handbag. Mmm. During the Boxing Day sales, mum and I managed to squeeze past flocks of people in the purse and wallet section of Myer, and we browsed at the selection of leather wallets. The wallet I liked was locked in a glass stand and I was lining up to ask the shop assistant to open it for me. Then this whale of a woman barges infront of me holding two really fug gold woven handbags asking about discounts etc. I was just standing there, gawking at the ugly shiny bag and when I heard the shop assistant ask for $3,XXX I was GOBSMACKED. Seriously, when one is not buying an electronic device or household appliance, how is it possible to spend > $3,000.

All that money... for what? =/ The design? I've definately seen better XD. The quality? I've heard from Topher (haaahaha) designer brands used to be well known for their quality.. but now the quality standards of a normal handbag should be pretty good, yeah? Or maybe people are just more willing to buy the brand name. x) That little golden plate that has whatever brand engraved into it.

Bah, I don't know. I don't own a handbag :) My current carry-around-bag is made of cotton and can fit newspapers and A4 sized books.

D8> I really can't wait until my mum comes back from HK. :) All these goodies.

Digressing, in hindsight, taking sticker photos with my dad was a truly peculiar experience.

Agghhh. My thoughts are all over the place. I'm too exhausted. Almost 4am D: Hopefully my sister won't kick me out of bed at 9am. I don't have work until Tues night. OH speaking of Tuesday- UNIVERSITY OPEN DAYS. UNSW and USYD. I actually plan to go to both :) Only attending the business/commerce lectures. Oh and hopefully seeing what their student council is up to. I love the sandstone buildings in USYD. So pretty. Their website is also much, much prettier/easier to navigate.

Because I have discovered a new CHEAPER sticker photo booth in the city (I shan't disclose on the WWW xD) I will go there on Tuesday and waste another $8 creating memories with special people.

WHAT I HATE: Time limits on sticker photo booths. =__=; Chatting to someone overseas on the phone and it's all crackley and distorted and you have to ask the other person to repeat what they said before... and them ask them to do it again because you didn't hear it the second time.

OOH HK NYE fireworks are quite cool. Fireworks shoot out of the building. I watched it on youtube at the Apple Shop.



woaaah the youtube screen is huge now.
