I am back with a recharged happy soul. Am soooooooooo proud to announce that there are no impulsive buys this time but good solid ones! I guess that’s the difference when I’ve been there so many times. I don’t have that excited urge to get everything and anything.
As much as I L-O-V-E travelling, I hated plane rides. I really wonder how I survived the 16hours ride to Paris. The biggest reward would be seeing Rok. This time onboard Cathay I watched ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’, ‘What happens in Vegas’ and last 30mins from my all time favorite ‘Sex and The City’.
Mama Chow is sooooooooo excited as it’s her first visit to the land that never sleeps. She bought sooooooooo many stuffs; clothing especially. She bought a whole new purple bling mahjong set, different flavors of mooncakes; ba gua, pork meat etc… Her luggage weighs 35.5kg!!! Luckily mine is just 15kg and D’s 12kg. It’s definitely the FIRST time our luggage weighs this light! LOL unbelievable.
Anyway, D and I are always impressed with the branded specs Hongkongers are wearing. Their specs designs are always soooo nice yet we have never really checked it out before. This time round, we intend to check it out when I spotted a pair of MIU MIU specs. It is the most beautiful M I’ve ever seen (read: Bling M, M for Miu Miu, M for Mag). The specs looked really decent on me and a little toooo decent for my liking but mummy and D insisted it’s a nice change so I settled for it. Mummy paid half for it, thanks Mummy. It’s not expensive; it’s around S$300 (the same price for my previous brown specs with no brand bought here in Singapore). D wanted a pair of shades and spotted a Prada snakeskin one. The salesman told D he can choose to make it white for normal wearing and keep the black shades if he were to change it in future. D tried and loved it and bought his for around S$450! We saw this really nice latest Sharp mobile and am soooooooo tempted to get it till it reads S$1000. *faints*
I had a haircut, perm and dye and cost only S$140! Cheap daoooooooooooooooooo… my regular hairstylist, Mango, always insisted I’m not that lady like kind but can definitely get away with the wild very curly like perm but this time she said to give it a shot since I wana keep my hair long. She suggested big curls, more lady-like but in a little bit wild kinda perm. HAHAHA… adores her.
Went to toilet café and boy oh boy, cuteness! Food isn’t the least gross as what I’ve read or seen online. Food is delicious and I will definitely revisit. I kept my promise and bought D and mummy to Tang Chao. The ‘dao huay’ is FAMOUS and as what Glen said, he wants to complain cos before he can taste the ‘dao huay’ it simply went down his throat. LOL
Mummy and I are very fast tempered (guess I do take after her) and I was still rather worried we are going to fight the entire 5 days together. So with no expectations or should I say expecting the worst, things turn out the exact opposite. Don’t get me wrong for I do love her a lot just that you know, the arguments and little fights, the mum-daughter drama thingy.
D and I had a little argument at the airport before our flight back. I was at the Disney store wanting to get the chip n dale cushion and plushies and D stopped me. He said why get so many cushions though he knows I’m a big chip n dale collector. I was so mad I didn’t wana get it when he gave in. D wanted to checkout Gucci boutique for a men tote and me for my Jolicoeur so I said let’s go there first and get the chip n dale later. D spotted a black tote and he looked good carrying it except that the handle is a little short thus the tightness is making him a little uncomfortable. I saw my Jolicoeur and was so excited till the staff told me they only have it in mini size. *sian* Then I saw it, my leroy! The charm that I was eyeing but didn’t think I will really own it. D said “Choose one lah, I buy for you. I rather get this which is more valuable than 10 chip n dale.” I was still retaliating saying chip n dale was my collection and that it’s different. It didn’t take me long to decide which dogs to get for I’ve always loved Leroy the French Bulldog. I love it so much I wana carry it everywhere I go; hooked it onto my chain as necklace, clip on my bags, clutch… EVERYWHERE! Leroy, mama is going to take you everywhere! LOL
My loots: less than 5 tops, a lot of accessories; earrings, necklaces and bangles, some magical idiot proof apply on eyeshadow (very amazing, wait till I upload the pics for you to see. All you have to do is press the colors; in 3 shades onto your eyelid for 4 mins and viola, it’s done! Beautiful shading of colors just like a pro makeup artist work), Miu Miu glasses, black pendant with Swarovski crystals, some chip n dale stuffs, Gucci Leroy Charm, mini watch diamante ring and 3 pairs of Adidas shorts. Tried the LV neverfull yet I still cannot bring myself to get it cos I’m not certain if I really want it. Saw at a store selling branded bags a Prada neverfull shape but it was closed so I didn’t manage to check it out. Will call Prada up to check. Found my dream watch but it looks nicer online so I didn’t get it. D says its toooooo expensive to get it since the strap is plastic but I think this is what makes it unique. Anyway HKG is like a yearly event thingy, I can always get it later. Hahaha
D loots: 2 pairs of Adidas shoes; one black and white and the other limited edition white with gold crown tag, 1 Timberland shoe-sandal, 3 pairs of Adidas shorts and a Prada specs. Gosh, didn’t know D bought so little. Hmmm…
