hello! im at the HK airport SQ first class lounge now... haha did not fly first class to HK, but dad's a solitaire member cos of all the flying he does for work. so its just one of the perks. just had a haagan daz cookies and cream, looking longingly thinking whether i shld get a strawberry now heh.

HK's great... 2 full days of shopping! but i dint buy very much for myself.. spent $62 on myself only. damn proud of it hahaha. got me 2 hollister tshirts ($9 each only!!) and a pretty denim skirt ($40. k ex, but i loved it so much cldnt resist), and a cute pink at-home short ($4!). shopping here isnt great... ok fine. the range is humongous, and the fashions are up to the minute. but HK ppl tend to spend lots on their clothing! like mainstream stores have a normal blouse for $60 and ppl are buying like mad. crazy lor. i dont spend so much on my clothes pls.. so yeah. haha..
but got lots for mum.. 2 suits, a blouse, a bag and a pair of shoes.. spent abt $500 on her i think... and dad got working shoes too!

i had alot of fun exploring the nooks and crannies of HK... found some really good food, authentic traditional dimsum shops, noodle congee shops.. etc.. and had fun browsing the little stores even though i din really want to buy so ex stuff! i saw a BEAUTIFUL pair of jeans with chinese knots... i loved it so much but it was like S$200 odd. haha ok. not so generous w money on clothes. hahaha. i found tiny eggtarts that were delicious, i got lost in the streets, and i enjoyed bantering with the egg tart shop guy. haha and all the sales ppl thought i was taiwanese! that was surprising.. haha. OH and did u know u can bargain with boutiques?? haha first time! i was like telling the sales girl ok this bag abit ex, cos s'pore can get for abt $30 odd, and that one i was eyeing cost $50+++. yeah. then she suddenly offered me a lower price! haha

k gotta board now! will post pics later.
