Uninspiring

So my mother arrived a week ago. Being blah-blah years old (she’d kill me if I inform ppl about her age :P), I’m constantly amazed at how energetic she is. I mean seriously, her energy puts me, who is considerably younger, to shame! Of course it’s also the fact that I’m a lazy bum but still…

Anyway, she has been bugging me and everybody else she knows in Melbourne about the tulip festival held every year during the months of september and october. So the day after she arrived I dragged chuck and gabey to the festival with my mom. The journey starts with a fifteen minute bus ride from port melbourne to flinders station in the city, then we took the train to Lilydale which took about an hour and a half an hour bus ride to Silvan. Was it worth it? It would have been if I had worn better socks. I ended up with blisters on the heels of my feet and I was wearing converse high tops which is a bitch to put on and take off! But apart from the excruciating pain at the end of a very long day, the festival was pretty cool if you like flowers, which I do. Took a hundred over pictures (check out my album). My mother was annoyed because most of the pics I took are off flowers rather than people and flowers We ended the excursion by heading back to the city and having Mekong (vietnamese noodle restaurant) for dinner.

Fast forward to Sunday, we went to the St Kilda Sunday market. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing and people were running a marathon… Despite the sun, the weather was friggin cold and I was unfortunately underdressed. I bought a pretty ’sterling silver’ ring (the guy who sold it kept reminding me with a french accent that it was sterling silver) for like twenty four bucks. I met up with chuck in the city and me, chuck, amien, and my mom had hard rock for dinner. My sandwich was a bit eugghh (never again will I order a sandwich with blue cheese). Got a T-shirt for my dad and took a taxi home cause it was raining…

Today, my mother went to Victoria Market by herself… I was worried but she is capable, I suppose… She came back safe and sound with fresh meat, vegetables and doughnuts…. Chuck’s cooking them right now. Can I just say, I am so glad I’m dating a guy who can cook That’s all I have to say at the mo’… ‘Til the next post…!!
