GC Day 5 - Shopping Day...

Day 5 was our shopping day...we woke up at 7.30am...didn't rush with breakfast...coz we were waiting for the resort's reception to open...at 9am...we needed Lizzy to help us book for whale watching the following day....so she booked for us a whale watching cruise that cost AUD85...quite expensive..but whale watching is something i've always wanted to do...Lizzy helped us to arrange the pick-up...we had to take a bus to Tweed Head South where the guide would pick us from the bus stop to the boat jetty...

We missed the 9.12am bus to Tweed Heads..so we went exploring Cabarita Beach...it was quiet and lovely...very windy that day..so the waves were quite high and roaring...saw some people walking their dogs...sat on the bench and enjoyed the lovely view and weather...i found my dream house among the beach front houses...though not exactly the architecture of my dreams..but it overlooks the sea...and one of the room had a telescope, beside a whole shelf of books...the outer wall is actually just glass panes...it's really my kind of home....

So we took the 10.12am bus to Tweed Heads..then another bus to Pacific Fair...and we shopped the whole day...hehe...bought a long-sleeve knit blouse for AUD8...then bought a book for AUD8... books in Australia is expensive...but when they have sales, the books only cost AUD7-10...and we're talking about books from well-known authors..like john grisham...jeffrey archer...and i'm a sucker for books...also bought a purple strapless dress for AUD10...i'm planning to wear it to the T Music Festival..hehe...Flora bought quite a lot of stuffs too..a sweater for AUD7, few dresses for AUD10..and books too...as you can see, we only go for discounted stuffs..we are bargain hunters after all..hehe..

We had lunch at Hungry Jacks...which is actually the Aussie version of Burger King...but they serve porky pork...Flora had a Bacon Deluxe...and i had a Cheesy Bacon Tender Deluxe...yummy!!! we saw a shop that goes by the name of "Sex Kitten"...interesting name..i'm sure they have interesting clothings and accessories in there...but we didn't enter the shop...though we saw a couple of arabs in the shop..;)

We came home early...though it was late shopping day that day...coz we didn't wanna miss the bus back to our apartment...so we got home before 7pm...had frozen pizza for dinner..with apricot passion yoghurt and strawberries as huge as plums...finished reading 'The Neverending Story' that night...it is truly an amazingly fantanstic book...very interesting and colourful characters....it is a fiction fantasy that teaches great virtues, albeit in a twisted way...would love to talk more about this book...but that is another story, and shall be told another time (it's a line that is repeated many times in the book, hehe)...
