i made my way down to chadstone last sunday to collect some stuff. taking a cab to chadstone will probably cost us $30-40 one way, so no cab for us. we took a train to caufield instead.

from caufield, we were supposed to catch a bus to chadstone. but... the sueh-ness begins here. the road to the bus stop was closed - no bus can enter. so we walked to the main road to the next bus stop. that is almost 3kms i am talking about!

as we were approaching the station, we saw a bus that heads down to chadstone, arriving at the bus stop. all we need to do is to run across the street, and we did. BUT the bus did not wait for us!!! FOL to the max. we had to wait approximately 16 minutes for the next bus.

we entered the bus and i validated my ticket. the machine ATE my ticket and did not spit it out again. wtf??? and it's a 5 x weekend daily ticket. i have 1 more validate before i can throw it away. then the bus driver got so irritated and said it was my fault for putting it wrongly. wtf??? i've been doing that all the time in the tram and it works perfectly fine. it's definitely the validator's fault.

there goes my ticket. he took my number down and said somebody will call me to return a new one, but until today i did not receive a single call. metlink is so inefficient. zzzzz! nvm lah 3aud. so sueh. i was ticket-less for the rest of the day. luckily the officers accepted my excuse of "ticket stuck in machine". otherwise i'll have to fork out another $3 to buy a new ticket.

we arrived at chadstone, like finally. i didn't want to eat at the food court. we all agreed on wagamama instead. totally reminds me of wakawaka =X

wagamama ramen - it was okay. but i wouldn't pay $18 for just a bowl of ramen.

i ordered bento box. i think it's too expensive for such a portion. i don't mind paying for the food, so long as it's good.

not as good as expected. i don't think i will eat there again.

edamame, something that i don't like.

i like salad but this one tastes weird. :S

ebi gyoza as side dish. i don't know about you but i certainly have never eaten such bad gyoza before.

the main. i ordered beef teriyaki. the portion is really small, considering that i'm still in aussie.

chicken teriyaki.

miso soup comes with the bento box

i'd rather save my money for something better. :S
