Boxing day is a day after Christmas day, where all stores, esp big department stores like Myer and David Jones are having big sales on the day.
Mr J woke me up at 4.30 am, cos we wanted to queue up to get David Jones' shopping vouchers (they're giving away $100 something gift cards for the first 50 ppl), 7 of us reached city by 5am and found around 10+ ppl were there already (!). It was pretty chilled and windy before 8am and only 2 of us were jackets, the boys even had to take turns to wear jackets haha !
As we predicted, there were some ppl that cut the queue and we had to argue with the management and some chinese ppl who cant speak english at all that cut the queue (lucky, mr J took photos so we got evidences and an Aussie backed us up). There were so many Chinese ppl queued up and didn't speak english, we even joked that they came here with David Jones visa thats only valid on boxing day hahaha and for seconds, we're confused where we are exactly cos no one speaks english.
After 5 hrs queuing, we got the vouchers but we were so tired and sleepy (some of us didnt sleep at all) and it was full of people, humid and I didn't know what to buy, we even had to queue for the elevator ! Mr J was the only one that shopped yesterday, me? nothing at all, I wasn't in the mood for shopping, I was sleepy, the weather was freaking hot (another 40 deg day), billions of people in 1 small shop, let alone the changing room and cashier. I gave up by 2pm, almost fainted with dehydration and got nothing at all.
Back home at around 3.30 pm, had a quick nap, we and another 2 friends went to church for the sunday mass at 6pm. Me and Mr J decided to have our own xmas dinner in Adelphi house, Hilton but we called up since the afternoon to book a table but turned out that they closed :( and we ended up having dinner in Sizzler haha, we were that hungry and craving for steak but didnt wanna risk if we went to Mt. Lawley or city areas, some restaurants were still closed. We behaved quite well that nite, both of us only had 1 plate of salad before our steak came and 1 plate of dessert each :)
~ And that's the end of my Christmas holiday, unlike others, had to start my work from today O_O ~
