Gucci
This is the new suitcase I bought today (: Today was my pack up and leave day. I got up early, around 6:30, showered, got dressed and walked out to the cab bay. It was a miserable rainy day and I wanted to go to the shops, just to blow some money before it was time for me to leave. I went to the same shopping centre as I did before and went to all the shops I had missed.
The ride took 20 minutes but the environment wasn't as interesting, I had seen it before. When I arrived at the shopping mall I got out and knew excatly where to go. To the foodcourt to get some breakfast. This morning I had chicken sushi and a green tea. That got me started for the day and it tasted pretty good. The shopping centre was 4 stories high and, yes, again, there were people everywhere. It was packed! I first went to a book store and bought 6 books, 4 for me and 2 for my sister's children. I bought A walk to Remember, The Ellen book 'Seriously...I'm kidding', The Shining by Stephen King and The Diary of Anne Frank. I bought my sister's kids 2 picture books, The Rainbow Fish and The very hungry caterpillar.
I thought i'd get a shopping cart for my bags this time, it would make it easier for me to carry them. I then wandered around until I found more womens clothes stores. I bought 2 dresses, and a scarf. In the Kiwi store next door to it, i bought an All Blacks rugby jersey and one for my dad too, he's a big supporter.
Seeing as I was now a millionaire, I decieded to hit up some more designer stores such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Armani and Boss. Not all of it was for me, but I had promised some family and friends I would get them something on my trip here, and i'm not the kind of friend just to get them a keychain.
After I spent $5000 in one store, I thought i'd relax a bit and just go buy some perfume. I walked down to the Perfume Connection. As soon as you walked in, the smell was overwhelming. I was looking at all the perfume behind the counter and a lady had come up to me and asked if I needed any help. I told her I was looking for a sweet fruity scent, because that was one that I liked. She showed me about 7-8 different perfumes and I had decieded on a Britney Spears perfume. I also bought a bottle of Jimmy Choo's new perfume for my sister.
After that I went to the foodcourt to have lunch. For lunch I had kfc, just because I felt like deep fried chicken. It ate my food at a table alone while the room was filled with noise and all different smells from different food stores. After lunch though I decieded to head back home so I could pack all my new things in what little space I had left and have a nap before I had to leave.
I called the cab and sat down on a bench outside to wait. This was the longest time I've had to wait. I had to wait 2 and a half hours which was ridiculous. I spent the whole time silently judging people, playing around with my phone, listening to music and having a sneaky look into all the bags of shopping I had.When the cab finally arrived I didn't act happy. It wasn't the hotel service cab but a public transport cab. I was really angry. The cab driver did say sorry though and helped me put my shopping into the boot of the car. The ride took longer home because it was now peak hour traffic so the cars were barely crawling. This didn't help my anger because i'm probably the most impaitent person ever. Finally I arrived home around 4. I had bought a new smaller Gucci suitcase because my other was already full. The cab driver helped my carry my things up to my room and I paid him. I then chucked everything on my bed and layed down next to it, giving my body and stretch and a bit of a rest from walking around the shops all day. After about 15 of taking a break, I got up and went down to the Kebabs on Queens corner stand, decieding to finish New Zealand the way I started. I took my kebab and went back to the hotel.
I ate my dinner and watched tv, there was nothing on but the news and some rubbish soap opera. The kebab was really flavourful and juicy, I was tempted to go back for another but I knew I had to finish packing and have a nap. So once I finished, I laid out all my clothes I would wear on the plane and everything I'd need to get ready. I then got ready for bed around 8 and went to sleep.
