hongkong

Was in Hongkong last week, with the parents and the family
Mom was in particular most excited about the trip...this is the first overseas trip (flying) with the whole family (mom, dad, bro and me) together in 6 yrs..which is stunning considering that in the past 6 years, the family has done our own share of great travelling, Europe, Oz land..
and we have not travelled together..weird..
Best bits of trip: bridge and taiti in the hotel room (always my favourite part, when I am hol with the parents)- It is the family's quiet, quality time....and it is always great. My badge of honour to show and to reassure me that my family is the tight unit that we are...and the bragging point that my parents are all the more cooler than the parents of others.
Yucky Bits of trip: Shenzhen (mistake and castrophy waitin to happen- alien language for dad, long travelling distance, absolute nothingness of shenzhen, other than tall buildings that are not filled with the messiness and wonderfulness of ppl and communities. ) of course it had good things....the only thing that drove us to shenzhen was shopping....
Well....that did not quite disappoint as much..bought faux tods mocassins (3 colours- biege, brown and orange) the orange was the nicest that inspired a faux tods bag...in orange... too...
ohh..and also frank muller crazy horse watch...still trying to learn to tell the time with that watch...hahaha
I am a bad, bad bad girl to buy pirated, fake products that totally disrepects the authencity and the wonderfulness of designers in tods and frank muller... a disgrace and absolute disregard to the history of these wonderful brands.
But, if i had one redeeming defence ..it is that i absolutely adore the stuff that i bought and having seen them in vogue, marie claire, glamour, vanity fair and these wonderful magazine..i dreamt, cavorted, salivated over them...and if i had the moolah...would have happily paid for it...but alas i dont have the moolah...
in the hopefully forseeable future that i will have this ability to spend ( and i will) ...i will step in legitimately to these shops and buy them...but now...let me enjoy its mere homage for a while.
