I am having bad cramps, and haven't slept since 3am this morning, resulting in my inability to go to work today :( I haven't had bad cramps in months now, so I thought I was gonna be alright, but the one today was crap. I think if I take anymore pain killers, I'd overdose, or get a stomach ulcer~!
So anyways, since I'm home, I thought I'd blog a little...

Camwhoring while waiting for his parents to arrive.
I love my new headband from Mimco. Bought it to compliment the dress for Boonie's wedding in Brissy next month.
The new Costco is located in Docklands, behind Harbourtown, near the big ferris wheel~! Oh, don't even get me started about the stupid big ferris wheel! What a complete waste of money it is.
I digress again... Where was I? Oh, Costco... yeah~!
You have to purchase an annual membership to be able to shop in Costco. And every member is allowed to bring one guest per visit. Membership cost is $60 for individual, and $55 for business (ie. you have an ABN number)
Jon's parents are members, so they brought us in for free, to check out the place.
OMG~! Just check out the crowd heading to Costco! This is absolute madness. The queue to sign up for membership was like, reaching the road! I don't get it!! And it's not cheap to sign up as well!
People were all rushing there, as if it's the AFL Grand finals, or some superstar having a concert! I couldn't believe my eyes. Luckily, we didn't have to join the line. We just walked right to the entrance, since his parents already have their membership cards with them. Phewww~!!!
The warehouse is quite massive inside, and some things were indeed pretty cheap. The only down side is, you have to buy in bulk. It's okay if you're sharing it with your friends or family, I suppose. We bought vege's and fruits - to be shared, and also some junk food and other household stuff.
Loaded the stuff into the car, and then headed over to Harbourtown for lunch. We also did some window shopping. There are alot more shops here now, as compared to the last time I was here when they first opened, which was almost a year ago.
And it seems like it's quite busy here as well.

Chicks~!! I remember my sister had 2 of these when she was a little girl. My grandma bought them for her. She cried for 3 days when one of them died.
I love how this place is open-air. It'll be superb for summer, when the weather warms up, and the sun is out! I can bring Remy here too~!! Wheee...
We sat down for lunch @ Chilli Padi. I have to say though, that I was kinda disappointed with the food here. I was expecting the food to be like the Chilli Padi in Melbourne Central, but Jon's seafood laksa was nowhere as nice, and my fried noodles were a tad too oily.
Since it was a beautiful day outside, we decided to take Remy out for a walk. We were hoping that other doggies will be out too, so they can play together.
We got a little distracted ourselves. I haven't seen one of these old style see-saw in awhile! The new aged ones don't really go up and down so agressively, cause they have proper suspensions on them, and hence nothing as fun!!
These ones have got wheels at the bottom, so when you land, you kinda hit the tyres to dampen the impact, but still, you can fly off these things!! I loveeeeee....
Hehehe, Jon and I were on them for a good 10 minutes, I'd say!
Remy likes the playground too~! He gets a bit freaked out about going down the slides though. So I'd have to hold him... hehehe.
Pretty pretty. I love nature. I love all the things that I can do here. Walks in the park, riding my bike, having a little picnic with my little boy, so relaxing.. I can't wait for 25 degrees weather! I loveeee spring **minus the rain**
Jonny boy kinda looked like he was posing in this pic. He was actually just checking if he had stepped onto any poo.
Remy is getting realllly fluffy. I think it's about time to get him a haircut. I don't think he can go through summer looking the way he does. Jon on the other hand, was saying something silly about giving him corn rows / dreadlocks... CRAZY~!!

Hahah! I remember my chicks~!
Grandma bought them for me as a surprise gift.
I was so happy.
=P
And of course, so sad when one died
Those were the days..
Yeah, I remember too!
Popo really loves you. I guess I have always been a little jealous how close the both of you are.
I'm close to her too, and of course I know she loves me too, but you've always been the favourite, I think. :)
Wah! Costco is really super crowded. Is it worth it to join the membership? What is it like inside?
You look really sweet in the photo.
Anonymous: It's quite huge inside, but depends on what kinda shopper you are. If you're always after a certain brand, and are particular about what you use, then you probably won't shop in there regularly.
They don't have the full range of everything in there. Only limited selections, but whatever they have, they're very reasonably priced.
Sarah: Thanks! :)
hmmm.. costco, prices are pretty reasonable, but selection is seriously limited. it's kinda cool though that you can get supersized stuff! i got a 1kg bag of chips, been 2 weeks still munching on it! lol. Bottom line is, is it worth the $60 ($55 if u have an abn)... not for me, just tag along a friend who has a membership ;)
btw, i reckon you should write in to fluffly, the fabric conditioner to replace their mascot with remy! he's sooooooo fluffy!!!!
