A trip to Sydney and what is the difference compared to Melbourne

I have been pretty bad lately! I was having shopping spree and making sure that my pocket is drilling a bigger hole than it should for me.

Awesome!

Anyway, I went for a trip to Sydney last weekend with BH (thanks to him for sponsoring it) and went there for a shopping spree for myself and our place. Wow you wouldn’t imagine the amount that I’ve spent there or BH lol. Anyway, shopping always does that to anyone isn’t it?! Like freaking drill a hole to the wallet/purse/pocket.

It was an enjoying few days trip whilst BH attended his meeting there. However, having myself without laptop is pretty a killer, lolx.

Anyway, weather in Sydney is very consistent compared to Melbourne. What will be the differences between both states? Well, to be honest I would prefer Melbourne. Sydney basically reminds me of KL. Busy, fast pace and busy. You will have bus honing you or car driving so impatiently that they might over-turn any moment. I am not being stereotyping or bias here but seriously I find it peaceful and safe on the road in Melbourne and people here are much friendlier. Anyway, I do like the fact that Sydney has more Asian where I felt much ‘home’ with. I don’t know, but the Australian slang is not too heavy over in Sydney, thus people just don't care about it. ^__^

Well to summarize the differences would be, Sydney has more tourist and more Asian than in Melbourne.

What do you think? Or if you have a choice which state will you visit/tour?

Would you change your hairstylist every time you plan to have a hair cut?

Or do you have a few hairstylists in your list that you would go to, any of them when you want?

Well to me, I had only one in Malaysia that I’ve always visits whenever I need haircut, hair coloring or etc. Never once did I bother changing to another after a few disastrous experiences in the past. The thing is that I need a good hair cut that I feel happy with and confident after the cut. I don’t want to feel sad, angry or pathetic after a cut, thinking I just had have a wonderful hair cut that make me look like a horrendous pig.

So, I am pretty choosy and rather happy to stick with the same-old hairstylist for ages, even when he decided to have 15% increase every year that nearly cost me my purse every time I visited him. I used to be able to have a haircut together with hair wash without feeling the pain or guilt of paying for it, but this year it was too crazy to consider the cost for both the service, thus I’ve only chosen for hair cut and exclude hair wash (do it at home before going).

Now that I am in Melbourne, it has been 3 months after my last hair cut in Malaysia. I just had my hair cut last week after a long procrastination in fear that I would come out feeling like an alien if I did it here. I was so tempted to fly back just to have my hair cut but I am no Paris Hilton. So, I went to one last week. Well, it felt like I was a little kid having my very first hair cut, feeling anxious and afraid the whole time. Took 45 minutes and I came out “alright”. It wasn’t as good as my hairstylist in Malaysia but at least he didn’t screw my hair up this round. How much it cost? It was about $70 for haircut + hair wash. Reasonable? BH said it is the standard price for any saloon haircut here. But, $70 convert to MYR is like almost MYR200 to me. *sob*


Oh yeah, I did a very painful (to my purse) and exciting thing this weekend!!! I bought myself a Christmas Tree!! I mean WE bought ourselves a Christmas Tree!!! Yipppiiee!! My very first Christmas Tree. The feeling was pretty hyperventilating and painful all together, LOL. The most painful is yet to come as I haven’t purchase all the needed ornaments, decoration. The last thing to do is spending the time to decorate it. I heard it might take up to 6 hours just to get to what we want. Hahah!

Will take a photo and post up here to share with you all!!! Stay tune!


So what will be your plans for Christmas?
