I think i'm just really in the mood for procrastination. Mid-sem exams and assessments are coming up and I really can't be bothered preparing for all this clerkship business (I'm sure i will be regretting it later). Anyway, here are some photos from my trip to Hong Kong and Shanghai last July... Can't believe it has been a month already!

Melbourne photo diary.
  1. Dinner at Gingerboy; Food and ambience of the restaurant was great! A must try is the son in law eggs, they're so very yummy and uniquely made for people that love eggs. It started pouring as we left the restaurant so had to cab it to Crown casino. Nothing special at Crown, but it's definitely more grand than The Star. 
  2. Hosier Lane aka graffiti lane; this is a pretty bad photo considering my eyes are closed and all, but the composition of it looks pretty nice with the zig zag stairs in the background.
  3. Flinders Street Station; Public transport in Melbourne was surprisingly easy use. Trains in particular was pretty straightforward and arrived more frequently than ones in Sydney. Trams however did get a bit confusing for me but then I figured out that they only operate in a straight line. 
  4. Federation Square; those grass cubes are so cute! Visited the ACMI to check out a few exhibitions. 
  5. Melbourne Central; I think everyone that visits Melbourne will take a photo similar to this. It is pretty cool but didn't linger around Melbourne Central for too long as most of the shops there weren't that great. I did however try Lord of the Fries there and it was pretty decent. 
  6. Dinner at Cutler & Co; The food was pretty spectacular but too bad I was bloated from drinking too much cider! I loved the chocolate and salted caramel icecream sandwich though, all my favourite things in one dish. Photo also features my $6 Hello Kitty wannabe iPhone case from eBay that ripped :( so sad, now I have to find a replacement. 
  7. Brunch at Hardware Societe; The tiny pan in which my scrabbled eggs was in is just too cute!
  8. I actually forgot where this is but it's the park near Melbourne Museum. The exhibitions at Melbourne Museum were interesting but I was so horrified at the bugs and insects section where they had a cabinet full of cockroaches and spiders and all the crawly things I hate. 
  9. Dinner at Movida Aqui; Food was mediocre, nothing to rave about. I did enjoy the potato balls featured in the picture, but then again I like all things made out of potato.
  10. Royal Arcade; Being touristy and taking photos around Bourke St and GPO.
  11. Eureka Skydeck; The views at night of Melbourne is breathtaking! I'm a bit too happy looking posing with my Ben & Jerry icecream featuring night view of Melbourne in the background.
  12. Topshop; I was so excited going into Topshop, I swear I spent half my Melbourne trip inside Topshop browsing and trying on items. I found prices overall to be pretty decent but it's definitely a bit more pricier than the website but they do offer 10% off for students. The sales staff informed me that the Sydney Topshop is due to open in August 2012 and it'll be 3 levels, so much bigger than the Melbourne store which is only 1 level. 

Lastly for those of you that are looking for the Alexander Wang Rocco with rosegold hardware, it is now back in stock on Shopbop and they also have the Diego in rosegold too!

Outside the Burj Al Arab
Topshop shirt, paperheart sheer skirt, MBMJ bag, Chanel sandals, Rayban wayfarers
Choc fondue
Henna
Burj Khalifa
Wild Wadi water park
Ski Dubai
Indoor snow field!
Arrived back in Sydney on Monday morning on a flight that was later than expected. Our original flight was overbooked but we received complimentary roundtrip tickets to Dubai as compensation. Will definitely consider going there again, after all you can enjoy Summer and Winter in one day. On our last day in Dubai, we managed to go to Wild Wadi, a water theme park and Ski Dubai and an indoor ski field in the Mall of the Emirates. I had such a great time and experienced the warm and the cold, it was quite eye-opening!

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (Abu Dhabi)


Matching!
Camel (Abu Dhabi heritage village)
Rayban wayfarers, papeheart top, Forever 21 leggings, Chanel sandals
Dubai: city of gold
Laduree macarons 
My first two days in Dubai have been amazing! Everything here is bigger and better. Dubai is home to the biggest shopping mall, the biggest fountain, the tallest building, beautiful beaches, amazing hotels and even an indoor snow field! Dubai Mall was eye-opening, unlike any shopping centre i've ever seen and truly a shopaholic's heaven.

Perfectly rounded fairly floss!
La Sagrada Familia (Barcelona)
So beautifully wrapped!
Wow i didn't realise that our last post has been over two weeks ago! I guess we both have been a little preoccupied with work and the holiday period. I headed off to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal on the 23rd, endured a 30 hour trip (including connecting flights to Dubai and Paris) and never felt so happy to leave the airport and actually sleep on a bed! After a few days in Portugal, we made our way to different parts of Spain (Sevilla, Malaga, Toledo, Segovia, Madrid, Zaragoza and Barcelona). There are just too many stories and places to describe so i've filled this post with photos of the highlights of my trip so far.

We also managed to get a little shopping done in Barcelona. Will post more about everything soon! Next stop: Dubai!
