day #13
So today I took my mum to Footscray market because I was bored.
We ended up buying some fish (yuck) and a new rice cooker. The old one busted on us.
Rice cookers aren’t cheap that’s for sure. I mean you can get a cheap crappy one for $19 but the good ones really start at $150. The better rice cookers are made by Tiger which is a japanese brand that most asians would be familiar with.
We didn’t end up with a Tiger but a Toshiba. According to my mum (the expert), this one was a particular good one because the “bowl thing” that holds the rice is actually really thick. Apparently the Tiger ones eventually burn out (like after 10 years).
My mum haggled with the shop assistant even though the product was on sale from $288 to $245. We paid $235. A couple that walked in just before us paid $240.
Our next stop was Chemist Warehouse… I am so in LOVE with this place! I can buy so many skin care products and the like for cheap!!! and there are so many things that they have that i didn’t knew existed but do… for example prior to go to Vietnam I bought chaffing cream. Awesome stuff!!!! Saved us during the trip. 2 fat people walking long distances in the wretched heat.. think about it. Have been looking for a good cleanser, scrub and mask… only ended up getting a make up remover.I figured I better do some online research before I part away with money.
and now… as I type this up, it sounds like my neighbours are having another domestic. These people usually have a domestic every couple of weeks (and they always happen on a weekend). Sometimes the screaming is so loud, that it wakes me up. There have been times when I’ve been tempted to open my sliding door to my bedroom and scream out “shut the fruck up, it’s only 10am on a saturday morning. what the fruck?!?!”
But i don’t. Yes, it’s annoying to be woken up but it’s very interesting to hear them scream at each other. Although when people are just screaming on the top of their lungs, it’s a tad hard to understand. Plus who knows if these psychopaths are owners of a gun, then that would be scary.
As I’m not focusing on what they’re screaming about (yeh these people are loud). I’m not sure what the heck it’s about. But it makes me think, don’t these people care about their neighbours or what their neighbours would think?!!??!
obviously not because if they did, they wouldn’t be carrying on like idiots.
One time, the arguing/screaming went on for hours and hours on end. It woke me up at 10ish, i went out, came back at 4 and they were still at it. I was like “if i screamed like that, i’d lose my voice”
Yes, I live in an interesting neighbourbood.
