My Wishlist of the week


Hey buddies!!

I assume every girls loves likes shopping. Me too no denial. But currently, according to my latest financial report, I am quite bankrupt after I bought my iMac. However, I love to do "window" shopping online, there are always many of the unexpected, attractive products waiting for me there. They are gorgeous, absolutely eye candy and I JUST WANT TO HAVE ALL OF THEM. There is one good point of browsing online though - save my bleeding, crying, mourning bank account. Luckily that I am quite rational in front of the monitor, although I am so excited while looking at them and keep telling my friend who (always coincidently) sits next to me:

THE SCENE 

Me: "OMG!! It looks super nice and gorgeous!! Check this out!! I want it so much!!"
~ Show her the pictures ~
Friend (already get used to it): "Yeah... It looks very nice. But you want everything, can you please tell me which one you don't want?" 
Me: "Er.... So true, but I seriously want this one so much. Don't you think this one is cute?"
Friend: "It is.. How much is it? (look at the price) Wow! Quite expensive man, is that a brand?
Me: "Yeah.. it's an American brand and they really sell nice shoes bla bla bla///////" (pretending I know every detail of the company)

It potentially becomes an endless topic.

I realized that my wishlist cannot be annually or monthly. Therefore I make it WEEKLY. sounds stupid though
I will regularly update my shortened wishlist here, so that you will fall into the weekly wishlist "trap" as I do.
Here's my wishlist of the week:




limited edition

Stubbs & Wootton is doing a 50% off sale from the website. You should definitely check out their shoes. They are absolutely fantastic! Although they are a bit pricey, if you could not afford them like me currently, you still can enjoy yourself in front of the monitor, dreaming they are being worn on your feet. And I would love to use their style as my shoes' style index. 



they are doing a huge sale 

After seeing my mate have something like this, I just want one. Okay, maybe let me cut my belly first. 

In order not to overwhelming you with my list, maybe I shouldn't put that many items these time. 
But do check me out on my Pinterest and Instagram. You will be loaded with photos, items and things there :) I cannot wait to see your LIST as well. Show me some of your favourite of the week.

Movie Night - Assault on Wall Street



Sunday Night usually is our relaxing night. Just coincidently, I bought my iMac few days ago which makes everyone quite excited about it. Another coincident was two of our friends said they want to come over for some beer/chat. Therefore, the boy suggested to have a movie night. 

As I am still new to iMac, usually I have my movies in rmvb format which uses up less space than others. However, we just discovered that rmvb format is not supported on it, I have to download some softwares later in order to play my rmvb format movies. So while playing them other movies, I rushed into the study room to download some thrill-movies. One of them is Assuault on Wall Street. To be honest, this is totally crap!!! Nothing thrill at all!! Please check out the trailer above, with the intense and staccato-style of soundtrack, the trailer exactly brings the tense and you would like to find out what will happen in the movie. With disappointment, this movie is slow, keep talking about financial crisis which (maybe) some of the American have faced or are still facing. Not until the last 20 minutes of the movie, there is some shootings and killings. Basically, the whole movie is like a documentary showing how people suffered in financial debts and someone (who is the main character here) started to do crazy things. I couldn't find anything that is assaulting the Wall Street. 

Frankly, nothing thrill, no interesting things, no climax as you can even guess the ending, this movie totally fail. 
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! DON'T WATCH IT!!!

Quite disappointed for a movie night like this. 
But no worries, we will watch The Woman in Black tonight, which I quite enjoy last time. 
Tell you how my housemates think about it next time.

Monday Catch up - St Louis House of Fine Ice Cream and Dessert


There are lots of things happening in our house lately. Too many troubles and things just come at the same time which makes as do not know what we should do. Right now, we are like those bomb disposal experts who are trying to cut the correct wire in order to stop the explosion. Life is tough this year seriously.

Being an international in a foreign country, friends are just come and go. One of our friends is going home very soon, therefore Monday becomes our weekly coffee catch-up time. Adelaide has been raining for nearly 1.5 week and finally we can see the sun on Monday. Lucky us!! As I work in Central Market on Monday afternoon, hence I decided to drag my ladies to the coffee shop near my workplace.  

Located on 19 Gouger Street, just opposite to Ding Hao. 
We passed by many times while we were in the car and I always said I must visit one day as the shop looks fancy *blush* And finally I am here. First of all, the interior design looks a bit classy but you feel warm and relax there. Just like going back home, ready for a cup of tea or coffee and (you know) some afternoon snacks.Staff are nice, always have a smiley face and ready to help. Love their attitude.  The ice cream there look so attractive and tempting. They have around 10 different varieties and by looking at the texture and the colour of the ice cream, they should be soft and creamy. Must be some good ice cream I bet. I want to try the wild strawberry one, and see whether they can bet my favourite strawberry ice cream in Hahndorf.  Sadly I had ordered the another dessert later and we had no room for the Waffle Basket (3 different kinds of ice cream in a waffle basket).

We had ordered the I-can't-remember-what-is-it-called dessert plate lol I didn't mean not to remember the name of it, but the name is just too long to memorise. I just remember there is the word 'SWEET'. Anyway, as you can see the picture below, it comes with 3 pieces, the chocolate ice cream sandwich, the chocolate ice cream with QUALITY dark chocolate inside and the chocolate with salted caramel treat. The dark chocolate is brilliant!! It is bitter in some point, however it does not like those you buy from the supermarket. It likes those you have to spend 2-3 bucks each from the display cabinets. Thumb up!! And the chocolate ice cream is marvelous with the rich aroma and smooth texture. We girls totally fall in love with this place. The coffee is okay since we come is not for the coffee but the dessert ;)
Thanks for the relaxing environment, me and Trista at least get rid of those troubles for few hours.

We will come back soon, seriously in love with this little cafe shop in China Town!!
Or maybe next Monday we should try the wine bar nextdoor.
