HIONG GONGGGGG :D

I mean, I should blog about this right. Continue from where I left off in Nov 07.

Spent about 10 days in Hong Kong last Dec holiday. I would have stayed there longer if it wasn't for my brother. The SIA hand-in-hand air tix are cheaper, but as the name suggests, at least 2 people have to travel together to enjoy this offer. As for the reason why my brother is in such a hurry, he specially went back to HK JUST to tailor make his prom night suit, and therefore have to fly back in time for his prom. Tsk tsk. We went through all the trouble to go over to China mainland to get his suit tailored, and it turned out... nevermind.

As compared to the HK trip with LL and ah chua last june holiday, this one was really ummm... Well, for one thing, I am pretty much left on my own the whole time there. My friends in HK were having school, and nobody from Singapore could come with me. My mum was busy playing majong, and was apparently too tired to shop with me. It's not so fun to shop with my brother (I shan't go into details it's too taxing), so in the end, my brother and I were each given some money and off we went.

At first, I was really uneasy about the whole shopping-alone-and-being-by-myself thing. I'm super afriad of being lonely. It's not that I cant walk home alone or stuff like that, it's more like being very self-conscious about spending time alone in public. Waiting for friends alone is fine, that is if I know I'm waiting for friends. I can sit in a restaurant alone, not order anything and just wait, but I cant sit in a restaurant and start eating by myself. Ughh, it's a complicated issue.

Then again, I have no other choice but to go out on my own for those few days in HK. I mean, I cant let the whole trip go to waste just because I feel uncomfortable shopping alone, right? I need to stock up my wadrobe, and shopping in HK is gooood. So, went to the busy Mongkok cramped with people and shops and just about everything. After a while, when I started to get more immersed in shopping, it's not too bad to shop alone aftter all. I had all the time in the world to pick out clothes, no more waiting for friends to try on their clothes, no more hurrying and rushing due to complaints from impatient friends. What's not too cool still, is that nobody's around to give me comments or advices about my buys and buys-to-be.

That was some accomplishment. Learnt to feel good about shopping alone. But I still cant get over that barrier of eating alone. I just cant. For the days I have to go out on my own, I have breakfast at home, then shop shop shop all the way until dinner time when I'll go to my dad's restaurant or home for it. When hunger really kicked me in the stomach, I'll buy some food to munch on the go, but still refuse to sit down and have a good meal. I just cant luh.


Haha look at that Jap kid. He just crawled onto the luggage and got dragged along by his dad. Super cute :D Anyway, had generally quite a good time in HK. Bought lots of clothes, accessories and stuff. A lot of them are for my friends though, esp for one of them (You know who you are AA. Haha.). I'm not sure if I'll go back to HK during winter anymore. True, I REALLY like winter. Why? Cuz I don't sweat. Hey waittt, now I remember, I DID sweat in HK. During winter. OMG. Ok so the whole point is that I sweat... less. Hmm other than that... Although I did manage to buy quite a lot of clothes, the range of variety is so much more narrow. Summer clothes during winter can be really cheap, but that is if you know where to find. To this, I think I'd rather have slightly more expensive, but much much more choices of summer clothings.

Another interesting thing I tried over there. My old friend of an optician gave me a couple of pairs of acuvue define to try on. So awesome. My pupils looked SO huge :D

But I still cant get rid of that dead fish look of mine. Why :/

And I had french manicure whoo hoo haha so bimbotic.

ARE YOU A SOFT TOY!?!? Shop keeper took him out and let me play with him. ANd I immediately fell in love. DOGGIE DOGGIE DOGGIE!!

This is a stupid key board. I dont have a computer at home in HK, so I had to resort to public ones to contact my friends, AND GET ALL THE SHOPPING LISTS from them. This keyboard gave me a VERY hard time. The buttons are like ATM machines buttons. Not the flat kind but the pop up super hard to press kind. It's really irritating to have to type letter by letter with my index fingers cuz the comp cant register if I type too fast anyway. And it didn't help that there's a timer and we can only use to a max of 10 mins each time. Boo.

Ah yes, the place that's only good for me during winter, when all the summer stocks are dumped here and selling at hahahaha omg.

People people people and more people.

Love <3
