None of the above!

I'm still in the stage where most of the shopping is for :
1) winter coats (preferably with faux fur here and there, of
course!
);
2) household stuff and kitchen stuff;
3) FOOD; and
4) Books and mags 
Everywhere is blardy far away. I've done enough walking here for
the entire year liao! I don't even walk 1/3 this much during the
same period back home!
I walk
to most places now and I'm amazed at the distance I can cover on me
horseypower! 
So, I haven't exactly settled down enough to go explore beyond my
familiar 'territories' like Victoria Gardens, Target, Myers,
Borders, Readers' Feast, K-Mart, Coles, and the Victoria Street
shops.
I'm looking at the day tours available in Melbourne though and will
go book myself on one or two of these soon! 
BUT, I will do so soon. In the meantime, I love the pho at Victoria
Street, the Japanese food at Gigi Restaurant along Collins, the
Singaporean food at Singapore Chom Chom (where I go to whenever I
feel homesick and need a lard-laden boost
), the Guo Tie at the Shanghai Resturant in
Victoria St, and the quasi-Jap/Korean food at Tokyo Sushi along
Bridge Rd.
I'm gathering a few similarly restless and curious colleagues to go
watch movies on Tuesdays when it's much cheaper, and will be asking
around to see who else is interested in the day tours I'm eyeing.

BTW, I still like The Straits Times. I find that there's more of an
international coverage there. The newspapers here are kinda more
... myopic in scope. They don't do world news coverage very well,
sadly. 
It's frustrating... a lot of places I wanna go, I can't get to
because I don't drive YET and don't own a blardy car and that's why
I end up making countless trips to and from the shops lugging stuff
back home. 
And oh, my colleagues just had a good laugh when I described to
them how much difficulties I ran into just to construct my own
furniture (cause it's cheaper than buying ready-made ones over
here) and someone older (but I'm not sure is wiser) declared, "Hey,
women aren't meant to construct furniture! I just buy ready-made!"
Oh well, my workmanship ain't perfect... but at
least, the pieces I've set up are still standing tall and sturdy!
