Our plan for this Saturday was simple: Go to the Fresh Prints event at Northbridge Piazza and then get something to eat. As we didn’t have a plan on what to eat, we ended up walking around aimlessly for a long while and sweating profusely before finally settling on having an early dinner at Lot Twenty. Lot […]

It’s always risky for me to go to Perth city, not because of safety reasons, but mainly because I have no self control when it comes to shopping.
