A Day To Remember: Me and Helen @ Vinnies.
18th December 08. Me and Helen walked around Ware street like bored kids, carrying our ice mocha and mango smoothie. We didn't want to go back to school to bludge but we didn't want to go home either. We went through Asian shops and looked at the toys section (ROFL!) Gotta love that little fishing game thingo ;D
Whilst walking, Helen saw a Vinnies outlet shop and we decided to go inside. We basically went crazy there ;D We're not afraid to admit it: we love op-shops! We found awesome vintage toys and stuffed animals (Happy Tree Friends!)
We then looked at the bags, and that's where I found my treasure. Finally, after months and months of searching, I finally found it. The bright yellow and red material was calling out for me. I knew I had to buy it, whether I was broke or not. So I took the World Youth Day bag and hugged it with all my might ;D You see, I didn't sign up during WYD, therefore I never got the freebies :(
After I literally squealed for joy, we walked over to the book shelves and looked at the secondhand books. I bought some of my books and novels from op-shops. Come on, its really cheap (2-4 bucks ? :O) and in really good condition. Who wouldn't want that?!
Anyway, we looked at the bottom shelf and saw some HSC guide books. We flittered through them and found some good Mathematics HSC guides. That was where we found Helen's treasure: a thick Biology guide book. It had a few marks and notes written on it, but it was still in good condition and really informative and useful. We looked at the price tag; it was only 6 bucks!
After we looked around the store and picked out the stuff we wanted to buy, that was when I dropped the bombshell. Literally.
I dropped my ice mocha and it splashed all over the floor and near the books.
Whoops D:
Luckily, the books didn't get wet; it only had little spills on the covers. After I panicked for a minute, we then told the girl at the counter who, surprisingly, wasn't angry. She went to pick out a mop and cleaned it up. We then paid for our stuff and went out of the store before I do something clumsy again.
Despite the fact that I made a mess out of ourselves, we still walked out of the store happily, carrying our treasures. It may had been simple, but it was certainly a day to remember :P.
Oh yeah, I bought my bag for 6 bucks while Helen got a 50% percent off from her book, so she only paid $3! O:
