Alexander the Great

Went to see the Alexander the Great exhibition today with my sis :D The way there was fun coz we took the ferry but they put up some barriers on the outside so we stayed inside, which was a pity since the weather was lovely.

Before the exhibition (and literally 2min after we got off the ferry) we went and got starbucks because there's a ton of starbucks' in the city and well, knowing me, I have an obsession with it, it is probs really unhealthy but it just tastes so good! We both tried the new drinks (I had the cookie crumble mocha frappucino and both my sister and I don't remember what hers was called but it started with soy strawberry and im pretty sure it ended in frappucino LOL). They were really good but I preferred mine ofc, which is good, and vice versa for my sis (:

Anyways, the exhibition itself was interesting, felt like I learnt a lot even though it probs mostly all went through one ear and out the other. No photography was allowed inside but that was kind of expected, however, since my sister bought our tickets online, she also bought the catalogue. (No not shopping catalogue LOL) and it basically shows everything in the exhibit (but it all doesn't look as majestic and amazing as it does in real life, especially with the detail and such) and it wasn't able to show the whole of the mega huge tapestry - probs like the size of two of my bedroom walls combined at least - as well as some pictures this guy drew with ink and it's so lifelike, but it was all done with ink and lines (yepp no actual shading, just lines) and it was really impressive especially since there were several in there.

My sis and I joked a bit on some things, such as how Alexander did all this stuff like conquerinq, fighting, ruling, campaigning..etc. (as in that sorta stuff) when he was 18 and my sis was like 'what did I do when i was 18? Oh that's right, I started uni :p' LOL.

What I didn't get about the exhibition were the solid gold earrings and they were dangly earrings. So I was like 'wouldn't that be really heavy? :L' and then a lady answered sorta laughing at me :L 'yes they are' but why would you make solid gold earrings?? You could tear your holes and apparently those ones were worn a lot. Pretty strong ears I must say.

After the exhibit, both with starving stomachs, we went to Mizuya (even though it was a bit far from the museum and my feet were killing me and idk why coz it's never happened before in my sandals :L) and it was my first time to Mizuya! That was pretty exciting. The food there is nice but I got cold there coz of the airconditioning LOL, but idk, the food there makes you feel stuffed, well what I ordered at least, so I didn't really eat much but that could've also been coz I was starving earlier and when you relieve a long hunger, you get full quicker (well that happens to me sometimes which is srsly annoying).

My beer. 

LOLjks it's lemon lime + bitters

After that we shopped a bit and my sister bought a top from topshop (wait that might've been before the alexander the great exhib. LOL since we walked around for a bit before the exhib). I bought 3 lip products, two of which I was planning to get and the third was sorta planned - the colour. So the Yes To brand finally came to Australia and so I got the Yes To Carrots lip balm in mint (because I realised I got too many strawberry and berry stuff), baby lips loves colour in the shade rose addict and I got a BYS lip gloss and lipstick duo in dusty rose. The BYS lip gloss part smells like strawberries, and the lipstick smells like cupcakes! :D I love it! (:

I also went to Factorie and bought this bright, neon, bubblegum pink scarf (the colour doesn't show on the camera but it's like blinding but it's so pretty) and a pair of yellow skinny jeans (for athletics/swimming carnival).

This was kinda awkward for me to take LOL
but it's brighter than this!

 We also went to EB games and my sister got a Bilbo Baggins figurine as well as SIMS 3 GENERATIONS :D I'm so excited to install and try it. I think it means you can make your kids and teens do stuff in school as well as extras for their life :D

Oh and this is a keyring I got at the gift shop at the museum
for the Alexander the Great Exhib. 

So as you know, we took the ferry on the way back and even though in the photo with my sister we looked happy and normal, that was because we were stopping at Darling Harbour. Otherwise our hair was flying everywhere because it was windier than usual and it was freezing and us two being incredibly intelligent, had decided not to bring jackets. I ended up wearing my scarf on the way back - people who were watching the water probs spotted me because it's so bright but you know what, I love it so whatevs LOL. We also met this lady on the ferry who came here from Japan for something (idk, couldnt hear her as well as my sis coz I wasnt sitting next to her and the wind was carrying sound away - including my earphones from my ears) and today was her only free day and she was cold but apparently it's snowing in Tokyo and apparently it doesnt snow in Tokyo often. Must be really cold there in comparison to here LOL. She was really nice and she's staying at a hotel in SOP so she got off at the same stop at us (which was the last stop LOL). 

Sorry this post was majorly long but so much happened and I had to tell you all so yeah (: Hope you managed to get through it :L
