Aussie Spoils

Honestly, Australia is my first non-Asian destination and I was really hoping not to shop much. My post birthday trip was to Sydney and then crashed Hakimbo's birthday trip to Melbourne. 

I had the intention to get the Apple Watch in Australia since it's unavailable in Singapore till later release. I saw it and fiddle around with it but held back the purchase due to whether I really NEED it. I came to a conclusion that I'll get it if I don't find other things.

Not really sure whether I'm holding back on the watch or there wasn't anything to get in Sydney. I only managed to get a present for the birthday boy in Sydney and some impulses.
Even though this wasn't anything fanciful but I was a saviour. It enabled me to venture in the rain rather than bumming around in Sydney.
This may cost a little more or unavailable in Singapore.
How could I not love it?
So Sydney purchase were sort of a maintained impulse but there wasn't really anything that caught my attention even after endless browsing around the stores. So I had the possibility of getting the watch in Melbourne. Or so I thought.
There were only 1 H&M store in major cities and the one in Melbourne is the most accessible and grand store. I didn't know that they had a home section. These duvet covers were gorgeous and cheap. At least I got something cheap for HRP rather than the common Ikea ones.
I had a soft orgasm when I went to browse in Target at Sydney. I had a mental note of the things I would possibly want and will get it in Melbourne instead, hoping not to blow my baggage allowance. Once in Melbourne, I went crazy!!!
So nice. Got to have it...
Something for work.
I contemplated to get this and finally succumbed to get it and kind of went overboard with the figures. Now I really wish I gotten more as Singapore doesn't have a lot of it and the price is torturous. 
Just had a sample and I bought the whole carton for HRP. Luggage almost overload because of these scrumptious delights.
My usual travel mementos
My stint in Target caused me not to get the Apple Watch which I didn't really regret. Somehow I'm still not confident in the newly launch watch which is overpriced too. Knowing Apple, they will release a newer version every year. With that, I'm actually pleased and grateful for my purchases especially the Disney Infinity 2.0 game set and figures.
