AGM 2013
As part of your SSAF fees
The AGM is the annual general meeting of the Student Union which happens once every year. It is then that the activities of the union are discussed. Here it is where the motions for next year are passed and so on and so forth.
This is run by the Student Union and it talks about how much money the spent within the last year. The Student union received a little bit of money from the SSAF fees and with that it had employed a volunteer coordinator as well as organized more activities and English classes for students.
They also have had some success with RMIT. Not much but some things
Wish them all the best for the new year!

Melbourne Central's Shopping day
Time and date: 23/5/2013 from 10am-9pm.
Location: At Melbourne Central
Today I went to Melbourne's One day shopping event. Here they had many free things, including the treasure hunt as well as skincare at Kiehls.
By 10am the line for Kiehls was huge. The first 500 visitors each received a goody bag full of samples.
There was more samples to be had at Jurilique as well as cupcakes.
And the treasure hunt was fun too. Here we had about ten items to look for. Hairhouse warehouse had already run out of their goodies but the rest were to be had.
There was vouchers and more things
And then at 1pm there was a styling session on Level 2 where the old Myer bridge. It was an interview session by Tony bianco with Geneva. Geneva has her own fashion blog which is in the top twenty. Here she talked about shoes and transparent purses and chains.
Afterwards I scored free popcorn from Mo's mobiles
And then more free food from Loctaine as well as the free hand spa.
Lastly there was a free tea tasting workshop by T2 where there were free samples of their scones and jams.
Thanks Melbourne Central for the event and I had a great day out

Amigos
Amigos is a Mexican place in Hardware lane. This place had opened sometime just before March 2012 so they are relatively new.
The place like anywhere else in Hardware Lane was relatively quiet. But at night it gets really busy.
They have lots and lots of promotions such as weekly wins and Marvellous Margs (Margaritas) and Tiny tacos on Tuesdays from 5pm at Tequilla bar. These tacos are free on Tuesday nights.
I was invited by the guys at Amigos and went on a Friday lunchtime to try out their menu. Here they are like Mamasita except everything was a tad bit bigger.
Here I had the fajita taco (vegetarian- normally $7.50), the vegetable burrito ($23.5 for a filling burrito with salsa and your choice of sides) and the virgin dalaquri( which by the way is a mocktail- $9.5). They have dessert but I was too full for that.
The virgin dalaquri was quite nice, except it had a little too much ice so it was a tad bit difficult to finish. But I loved the lemon flavour. You can choose from a wide range of flavours but I felt like lemon today.
The fajita taco was a little bit bland. Some sauce would have been great.
Between the entree and the main I saw one of the chefs playing with their phone. Very unprofessional.
But the burrito made up for this. This was very filling. A burrito is a soft tortilla filled with lots of stuff inside and the fillings vary. You can choose from beef, chicken and vegetables. I chose the vegetables. On the outside was the corn and bean salsa which I loved. There were lots and lots of vegetables inside and lots of flavour. The tomato salsa added a nice flavour to my burrito.
By the way I saw someone else's fajita and it looked huge and wonderful. I'd be willing to give this one a go.
Thanks Amigos for the free lunch. I hope to see you soon and I wouldn't mind paying for the drinks next time.
