Larissa Turned 28

Celebrated Larissa's birthday on Saturday. Started with pre-drinks at Helen's place. Then moved onto the Stanley, which is a small bar (that resembles a lounge room) in Wembley. After that, it was off to Leederville, where we ventured into Double Lucky and sadly, finished at the Hipp-E Club (is that how they spell it?).

Was a fun and late night. Once again, I didn't take any pics of me and Larissa together.. we never seem to have any! But I did get this shot, which is nearly all of the KL girls together.

After today's double grease fix (maccas and KFC), I was feeling better. Then Mum's dinner tonight got me back on track. Good times. Happy Birthday Larissa!

Etsy Purchase...!

Finally got the wall stickers I wanted from Etsy, to spruce up the lounge room. My camera's taking crappy pictures at the moment (so streaky! grrrrr) - but you get the idea from the pic.

Tried to de-clutter the house a little on the w/end too. .... still working on that.

Kuala Lumpur Girls Shopping Trip

Last July, Leanne, Abbey, Helen and I, booked a trip to Malaysia - at the last minute, Larissa decided to jump on the band wagon. So on Wednesday morning, we set off on Air Asia - 5 girls with 5 empty cases, ready to face the shopping heaven of KL. We hit up all the big malls, Pavillion, Times Square, Sunwei Gai and KLCC.

We bought shoes, makeup, clothes, glasses, stationary, sunnies, scarves, socks, presents, bags, purses, belts and jewelry. We had our nails done, our hair washed/blow dried and got full body massages (I left mine bruised, but feeling SO much better for it). We ate, we walked, we slept in (while Abbey went to the gym), we swam, we had our room upgraded (after our toilet flooded twice and our door continually failed to work), we got free buffet dinner (I managed to eat a dozen oysters on my own and Helen and Leanne polished off a block of cheese), we ordered room service, squashed all 5 of us into regular taxis and we waited 2 hours to buy copied DVDs from the local market (its a long story).

We had one big night out, at the Sky Bar and over to Rum Jungle. We drank shooters and beers, we had drinks bought for us, then we stood amongst the prostitutes and watched them 'working' (giving hand jobs and blow jobs to a Corona bottle - to entice the onlooking men).

Then on Saturday night, we paid the airline for extra luggage space to bring all our goodies home. Helen had her 17 pairs of shoes to pack, Abbey had masses of corporate attire, Leanne had her Tiffany pieces, Larissa had a full winter wardrobe and me with my beloved new Zara trench coat (amongst many other purchases). We arrived home at 5am on Sunday morning: weary, tired, drained - but oh so satisfied with the last 96 hour girls trip. Good Bye KL, I have a feeling we will be returning soon to do it all over again :)
