Suzuki Night Market @ Queen Victoria Market

[ misia ] any love

I didn't think my Wednesday would be any different to the other Wednesday, but today was a little unusual... as it was a last minute decision to visit Suzuki Night Market at Queen Victoria Market.

Every year, I would make an effort to visit this Wednesday night market because I just love it there. There's so many arty stuff and a lot of home made and unique designs available... There's also hawker food stalls around as well as live performances for free... I guess it is also quite special as it is the ONLY night market in Melbourne and they only have it during Summer...

Anyway, I bought an Relaxation Pillow for eyes (filled with Lavender, Chamomile, rose and Millet filling) as well as a Moon Bag for neck&shoulder (filled with Lavender, Ginger, Sandlewood and wheat filling) which can be heated up in the Microwave for 2 mins, and it's good for aches, pains and tense muscles... They cost me Aud$40... hmmm... A little expensive but I really like it...

Also, I bought a Neckerchief from a stall called "The Girl Can't Help It" for my colleague as it was her birthday... The neckerchief is soooooooooooooooo pretty I really wanted one for myself too... but they don't have the one which I wanted (cos they no longer has the antique fabric or buckle for that particular patterns)... What a pity!!! ...But I still think they are really really pretty.... Love it!

I guess I'm into scarf and all these sort nowadays cos not only I could use them as hair bands, they also looks pretty when wrapping around the neck... I guess I feel more comfy with them than wearing necklace, eventhough I do like necklace too (edgy and unique ones only!) but rarely had the chance to wear them...

Anyway, my next stop next time would be:-
(1) Lost and Found market
(2) Rose Street Market

Wildlife Documentaries

[ skye ] feeling good inc.

Ever since I have done one of the right thing on Wednesday... it was as if I have placed my white stone firmly on the Go-chess board to shape the game a little... but it's still a new game... So much space and the black and white stones still haven't formed a shape and they certainly have not showed their true colors as yet... The board is still filled with many uncertainties and unpredictable moves...

I since have been trying to analyze and trying to predict the future's moves but I guess it was something that I shouldn't have done because it only troubles me more especially when I could not find any answer... I guess I have to remind myself not to worry nor think too much as it's actually the JOURNEY that counts after all...

Anyway, we had lunch at a Korean restaurant called 7 & 7 at Carnegie... I think the "Hot Pot not Hot" Korean restaurant in the city is slightly better... =) ...Went to Safeway to get a bit of stuff and watched Apocolypto together... I think this was the 3rd time I've watched this movie but still find myself enjoying it very very much...

Well, guess what? ...I received yet another gift!!! ...A whole set of Wildlife documentaries which he started collecting about 2 weeks ago (one by one from Herald Sun Newspaper everyday)... That effort kinda touched me a little (or maybe a lot?!)...

Was it just coincidence or was the timing so perfect that Herald Sun came up with such documentaries for him to collect? ...Unbelievable... Why is it seems so easy for him to do something so sweet and beautiful?

I don't know what to do in return... I am a little unsure... I still could not analyze how this board game would turn out...

Timing is such a vital thing in life, isn't it? ...
Is this my turn to place the white stone on the board now? ...and if so, where shall I land my next white stone? ...and are you sure you wanna land your black stone there or shall you just hold and think before you put it down?

hmmm... Maybe we shall play "Tell The Truth" instead??

Nutella Peanut Butter Sandwich @ Botanical Garden

[ regina spektor ] lady

Almost every Tuesday, the color I noticed were moody and grey...

Anyway, it's Wednesday and I hope the cloud would clear up a little... perhaps a walk would help... though it wasn't very Sunny but it's good enough to take a walk at the Botanical Garden...

Peanut Butter + Nutella Sandwich... YUM!! ...My 2nd day of quiting Peanut Butter in the morning and I was already back on eating Peanut Butter again during lunch today... but Peanut Butter + Nutella are very compatible and they absolutely compliment each other... How to resist?!?

Be brave OoKi... be strong OoKi! ...Nothing out there that I could not over come with... esp if it was the right thing to do...

And I have finally got piece of information out of my system... and what a relief... Guilt free now I suppose...

Another surprise again... I was given a gift again which I was instructed not to open immediately... Well, at the end I only opened the gift hours later as I was extremely busy at work (mid month and end of month is my busiest day!)...

As I opened the gift, I could not believe it... I always wanted to own a copy of this book but it has since stopped printing ages ago... and he found it just like that?!?! ...Unbelievable... Why does he make thing looks so easy and simple???

I was so happy that I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the day... THIS is THE book that changed my perspectives and helped me get through one stage of my life and make sense of the journey for me without having to put much effort...
