friday: tonton & i had dinner "date" at cafe cavallino. ordered bellina pizza & beef ravioli with napoli sauce. actually, we enjoyed it a lot. then, we had hot choco at koko black. i took a picture of my cup not knowing that drinking it would eventually trigger something bad.

the cup, the cup!

so while we were walking home, i felt that my tummy is so heavy. it's like i ate a kilo of nails. eiww!! exag nga but i felt so sick talaga :( so there, when we reached home, i threw up the hot choco and few pieces of what i've chomped. haayy, grabe! lesson learned: don't ever mix tomato sauce & hot choco in your stomach! hehe takaw kse eh! after that vomit incident, i found relief in a cup of hot green tea prepared by my hubby c",)

saturday: we went back to highpoint mall at maribyrnong to buy one more pair of speaker stand. we also checked if the willow tree 10-piece nativity set is still on sale in beville jewelry shop.

yes it is still on sale, but when we asked for a stocked set the saleslady told us that she can't find it so she's trying to give us the display set. i think that was a silly excuse. we did not get the set in that store, but instead we went to their branch at bourke street. luckily, we got the set we really wanted for $200 :) we've been eyeing this set because it's made of unique material. and we really want this is a gift perhaps for ourselves this christmas.

anyway, we also got the 4-disc DVD set of black adder show. tonton was so happy to finally find the set in one of JB hi-fi's stores. i also got 3 DVDs (clueless, the notebook, memoirs of a geisha)afterward, we went back home to drop the items we bought. then, we headed to collins street to await the christmas tree lighting show. we were entertained by the australian youth choir singing some christmas songs and the dancing mascots of the wiggles group. the event lasted two hours before they finally lit up the tree.

then, together with Vincent & family, we stopped by starbucks to have some cold frap & coffee. we didn't even notice the time passing so quickly because we were chatting a lot about house & csi, hehe :) we arrived home around midnight.

sunday: we woke up at almost 12 noon already. then, around 2pm, we went to market to buy meat & fish. and then, tonton assembled the speaker stand while i cook ground lamb with potato for dinner. then we checked in the internet who won on pacquiao-morales fight. yep, we bet it right! pacquiao won on 3rd round, yey! galeng, galeng! :)
